The UK is in crisis: debt is spiralling, unemployment is on the rise and the fragile coalition cabinet, led by Prime Minister Jim Hacker, is at breaking point. But salvation may exist in the form of a complex pipeline deal with the oil-rich country of Kumranistan that would entitle the government to a multi-trillion pound loan. When the Kumranistan Foreign Secretary makes a shocking request of Jim's Private Secretary Bernard Woolley, moral considerations collide with the economic future of the nation. But how will Jim and his team: Bernard, Cabinet Secretary Sir Humphrey Appleby, and Special Adviser Claire Sutton, reconcile the two? Political machinations, media manipulation and an appeal for divine intervention ensue.

("Yes, Minister", and the equally successful sequel "Yes, ...)
"Yes, Minister", and the equally successful sequel "Yes, Prime Minister" captured a niche in the political consciousness of the nation. First broadcast thirty years ago, the original writers of these classic series have reunited to create a bang up to date "Yes, Prime Minister" for the stage. Spin, blackberries, sexed-up dossiers, sleaze, global warming and a country on the brink of financial meltdown form the backdrop to mayhem at Chequers as the Foreign Minister of Kumranistan makes a seriously compromising offer of salvation. Prime Minister Jim Hacker remains in power with his coterie of close advisors including Cabinet Secretary Sir Humphrey Appleby and Principal Private Secretary Bernard Woolley, but for how long? They govern a whole new world. "Yes, Prime Minister" premiered in the Festival Theatre, Chichester, in May 2010.

Four classic episodes from Series Two of the hit BBC show. 'Man Overboard' finds Jim Hacker in favour of moving army regiments to the north to create jobs - until Sir Humphrey hints that the PM's job is under threat. In 'Official Secrets', the former PM's memoirs have to be scrutinized for security reasons. But Jim realises that they will make him look bad and tries to suppress their publication. In 'A Diplomatic Incident', the death of the former PM provides Jim Hacker with some leverage over negotiations with the French about the Channel Tunnel. And in 'A Conflict of Interest' there are rumours of a scandal in the City. Can Sir Humphrey persuade the Prime Minister to choose the right man to become the new Governor of the Bank of England? 2 CDs. 1 hr 50 mins.

This title features 150 essential rules from the award-winning co-writer of "Yes Minster" and "Yes Prime Minister", Hollywood movie director, producer, novelist and actor. A host of hugely enjoyable examples drawn from Lynn's varied and successful career bring these rules to life, covering everything from inspiration, collaboration and the Seven Deadly Sins to the perils of unmotivated comic business, pitching screenplays in LA, sexist jokes and lunch with the Inland Revenue. Along the way, we meet a cast of luminaries including Leonard Rossiter, John Landis, Nigel Hawthorne, Paul Eddington, Jack Rosenthal and Jonathan's long-time co-writer, Antony Jay. As we travel with him from his first digs in Coventry to the sushi bars of Hollywood, "Comedy Rules" offers an enlightening journey into the world of comedy and an indispensible companion to the elusive art of its creation.

(Yes Minister is one of the most popular and critically su...)
Yes Minister is one of the most popular and critically successful British sit-coms of all time, partly due to its fascinatingly accurate observations of the eternal sparring between Paul Eddington's naive senior minister, Jim Hacker, and Nigel Hawthorne's infernally cunning Permanent Secretary, Sir Humphrey Appleby. Originally broadcast in three series from 1980 to 1984, Yes Minister won an unprecedented three BAFTA awards in a row, as well as an enduring appeal that has lived far beyond the series or its sequel Yes Prime Minister. Tracing the careers of Hacker, Sir Humphrey and his loyal sidekick Bernard, this amusing and brilliantly illustrated book will appeal to everyone who remembers the series with affection and can't resist watching the repeats. Containing obituaries of the three leading characters, written specially by Sir Anthony Jay, and the sketch written by Bernard Ingham for Margaret Thatcher to perform with Paul Eddington and Nigel Hawthorne, the book contains many surprises as well as reflections on the series and its importance by politicians and journalists of the day.

It's not an easy choice for Jim Hacker...And in 'One of Us', the recently deceased Head of MI5 has been passing government secrets to Moscow.

(This is the story of Suryaprakash Singh, newly-elected Mi...)
This is the story of Suryaprakash Singh, newly-elected Minister of Administrative Affairs, and his comically heroic efforts to come to terms with the vagaries of his office, in which he is aided as well as impeded by Shri Rajnath Mathur, Secretary of the Department, and S.K. Kaul, Suryaprakash's Private Secretary. Based on the television series Ji Mantriji, an adaptation of the immensely popular 'Yes Minister' books, this is a sharply perceptive glimpse into the farcical world of Indian politics, and the bureaucratic red tape that appears to hold it together.
