"Stimulating". Ah yes, one of Sir Humphrey's insults, along with "refreshing" and "bold and imaginative" when describing Hacker's more off-beat approaches to an issue. Of course, he reserves "courageous" for Hacker's really hare-brained ideas.

The quality of the writing of this show is unsurpassed even after all these years.

Humphrey's face when Hacker said he was going to sort it out himself was absolutely priceless.

This show still continues to amaze me at just how well written, superbly acted, and how relevant sadly it still is today. Hard to believe this is nearly 40 years old.

I remember this in the 80's but i was too young to appreciate it. I'm 52 now and catching on all the episodes, it is just fantastic. 😂

This is one of those times where Sir Humphrey had an extremely valid point.

as a former law student, I confirme that International law issues are very very difficult to settle

Bernard's home and away idea isn't actually all that terrible, come to think of it. Who has jurisdiction? Depends which way the train is pointing.

This is one of my favorite Yes, PM episodes right here. One of the few times where Jim and Sir Humphrey BOTH emerge victorious.

I like how he sounds like Churchill when he gets carried away.

Favourite episode, all three of them working together to defeat the French.

‘Yes, thank you Bernard’ 😂

He taught me everything I know <3

I sorely miss the more than well-suited trio. May you all riposare in pace!

Simply brilliant!

The politics is still bang on even for today.

What if they found a body cut in two in the middle of the tunnel? Send for Saga Norén!!

Well they could have the Belgians manage it.

Utterly brilliant and hilarious.
