A lot of the actors on this show were trained Shakespearean theatre performers. Peter Cellier was one of them. Absolute masters at the top of their craft.

When one considers the matter of being overstretched; is it placing a heavier than undue burden on the incumbent of the office in question? Or can they adapt to the heavier than expected burden in the enormously great expectations of the office? For you would not have anointed such an individual to the office initially if they were not able to handle the tremendous responsibilities.

The fundamental problem is that Sir Frank has to contradict himself on the fly, but not appear so. After damning Humphrey with faint praise, but generally supporting and staying out of the issue, he must go into attack mode when he sees a way to expand his purview at the expense of Sir Humphrey. All while sounding bureaucratically supportive to a superior
