Superb
Another one from Scotland!
I must have seen these episodes numerous times on the BBC and UK Gold, and I never knew that the first episode had different titles and theme tune from the rest of the series! Other than that, even after repeated viewings this wonderful series still makes me laugh. The acting by the three main players is just incredible, often the laughs come from their excellent characterisation and facial expressions. A true British classic. -

Brilliant
Coming up on 25 years old, Yes Minister is almost as fresh as the day it was first aired.
A lot of the humour at the time had a dig at the government in power which may be lost on younger viewers. But the comedy is still good enough to keep us watching. -
