These series were classics and dont age at all and they were beautifully acted.

He was the more right-wing, whereas Jonathan Lynn was left-wing. But this syntheseis created a true classic sitcom, great scripts working with a stupendous cast. The rehash versions don't cut the mustard.

RIP

Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister remain my favourite sitcoms of all time even now.
Brilliantly written, superb cast and as HP said still seems relevant .

Will always be relevant - one of the best political satires ever!! As Snookered said brilliantly written and acted RIP
