Still relevant in June 2024. The reasoning for then is better than today when genocide and scorched earth policy is being supported by USA and UK governments only for the oil and gas off the coast of Gaza.

This series should be required viewing. Hopefully, people will wake up to how prophetic it is and understand how Governments twist their lives. When we see how the UK has declined into a Nation that is has become unrecognizable.

This should be made compulsory viewing for every MP, pressure group and protest group. It is so depressing to see that what was considered comedy 15+ years ago is now tragedy, and worrying tragedy too.

I was taught constitutional law by Geoff Hoon who went on to become Foreign Secretary. The only and best thing that I recall him teaching was to watch “Yes Minister” because it is an accurate portrayal of British Politics and our Constitution. The only things that have changed are the width of jacket lapels and the accents; mainly “Estuary English”now but the dynamics cannot have not altered.
