Never tire of watching

“I never tire of watching the BBC’s political satire Yes Minister produced by leftleaning Jonathan Lynn and his rightist colleague Anthony Jay who died recently,” writes Dr John Cameron of St Andrews.

“Using material from The Crossman Diaries and sources among Whitehall’s mandarins, the scripts were checked for authenticity by Marcia Falkender, Harold Wilson’s formidable secretary.

“The series gave a more troubling view of the British state than any work since George Orwell’s “1984” and is required viewing for both students and immigrants.”
