Yes, Prime Minister

Fans of the immensely popular ‘80s sitcom won’t be disappointed by the reincarnations of Cabinet Secretary Sir Humphrey and Prime Minister Jim Hacker.

Henry Goodman’s pocket-lining civil servant is on Machiavellian form, using his superior intelligence to run rings round David Haig’s increasingly apoplectic PM. But, although often very funny, the original 30-minute TV formula yields decreasing rewards when stretched to two hours.
