I get the impression the policeman on the door had been waiting for this moment his entire career.

Malicious compliance is sometimes all those in subordinate positions have at their disposal. It can be delightful to employ.

The irony is that "Thank me no thankings" is Shakespeare.

You can be sure the writers knew that. They quite often had Bernard show a rather unexpected erudition, as here. I'd bet in a draft script they had him inform the PM that "thank me no thankings" was actually a line from Romeo and Juliet.

"...unless mr. Bernard give permission." 😂😂😂

“I don’t give my mother-in-law the key to my house…” “I am NOT the Prime Minister’s mother-in-law Bernard!!” Wonderful 😂😂😂

“No, you’re far worse than anybody’s mother-in-law!”

At the end of each episode, someone says "Yes Prime Minister" at the end of this one, Humphrey *growls* the words through clenched teeth

One of the best Sir Humphrey scenes. Even in a panic he is more well spoken than you and I could ever be

The Key is perfection from beginning to end.

Nigel Hawthorne and all the cast are just brilliant.

This is the best scene ever done in the entirety of this series!

Truth be told Dame Margaret Tatcher was a big/major fan of the series and consented/allowed that the outside scenes seen were being tapped on location outside of the real Nr.10.

I'm pretty sure "open the bloody door!" is the most profanity we hear from Humphrey in the entire show

Absolutely brilliant 🤣🤣🤣

So eloquently said 😊

Looks likes the policemen is really enjoying it

"I'm busy too" 😂

Brilliant!

so good

Best episode in what was a superb series of television.

The 2nd Best. The very last episode beats this one

Am I the only one who thinks Bernard has superior command on the English language

I tried to share the link to this video on Facebook and it was refused as a breach of their community standards. Any idea why? I’ve shared loads of videos on my wall without any problem.

Men do not act like how the prime minister did...you do not (in a government institution) spend time with women (whatever their job title) in the office and close out other male advisors or colleagues, no matter how intolerable...he should have just taken, the lady to a hotel, it's not like the government would stop running; and ministers have flexible hours, if it's me the minister I will come to work for just an hour towards knocking of time.

Sounds like you're not really familiar with the series. In this episode, she's the real ally who helps him get the upper hand.

Your comment is completely incoherent. Have you been watching something else?

She is one of his allies, and Humphrey his opponent (in this episode at least). Gender doesn't really come into it.
