Humphrey Appleby Yes, even if it's not about shows, but in general, people like Margaret Thatcher speaking about British shows and BBC. I am sure it will have many informative things to know, and worth listening to.

Spicy Boy If I find the file I will keep it in mind. I found it on a website which may not be legal in your country. The full name is "That's Television Entertainment 50 Years of BBC (1st November 1986)". Is the Indian Yes Minister spoken in English? Or does it have English subtitles?
I'm glad you think so, Prime Minister.
I'm worried about by my sanity as I actually understood Sir Humphrey
Sorry to hear that

I highly doubt it because the leadership isn't really the problem with Brexit and the division across the country is and no leader can really fix that as we've found with May and Boris, hence why it likely will go back to the people again.

This reminded me how Kinnock always came across as smug and sententious, and Thatcher as affected and pretentious.

Kinnock was such a REAL and warmly human respondent in his interview, yet Thatcher -- not even for one moment -- ever left her intellectual sanctuary of serious, egotistical supremacy to get her own way and provide real world opinionatedness ... even against a fictitious character!

Really? She fought against joining the EU so britons could control their own economy. The economy boomed under Thatcher. If you want to see misery in Britain look back at the period before she was elected. Unions grounded the country toba halt, and there was skyrocketing inflation.

She hated the show apparently and was so angry at the enormous popular response to it, and the way it undermined politics, she was forced to make a statement saying it was her favourite show on TV.
