Yes, Prime Minister

For the uninitiated, which means most of my Italian readers, Yes, Minister was a comedy (as in funny), which appeared on BBC tv in the UK for good few years.

Basically, this wonderful series, which became Yes, Prime Minister ran for a good few years, and can probably be regarded as being British TV as its very best.

A few snippets of these shows are to be found on YouTube, and here is one for your deliction. It’s a famous sketch in which the main British newspapers are summed up. Enjoy:

The thing is, Italy’s horribly sensitive politicians would never let such a scandalous show exist here. Well, I’ve never heard of an Italian equivalent, although I’d love to.
