Hey, good to see some cool info on one of my very favorite shows. Never missed an episode when I lived in Texas but now that I have moved to Ohio I don't get the show at all:( Would like to see an update on the actors if possible. But anyway, keep up the good work! Encore. Encore.

Hi,

I just read your home-page for "Yes, Prime minister" and I thought you might know a lot about the earlier "Yes, minister" series as well.

I have been trying to get me on video the episodes of this earlier series. I already have all the 16 episodes of YPM. Do you know, where I could get them? BBC released the first 7 episodes on video last year, and I bought them. Have you heard if and when the BBC is going to release the rest of the episodes?

I think these pages are great. All the best for the future!

Just a note to say that Yes, Minister (+ Prime) series is/are the best comedy television program ever. I live in New York State but my parents are British, so it's not all that bad.

Let's get the Web page going!

thanx. aj

Just though I'd wish you good luck with this section. I've been a Yes Minister/Prime Minister fan for years now, and I'm glad that there are other who enjoy it as much as I do. I'll be checking in every so often to see what new.

Best Wishes,

Tbank you for maintaining the PM/YPM files. It is one of my favorite comedies. I have the 3 script books and enjoy use them as a political textbook.

(1) Were there only 2 seasons of YPM?

(2) Can you post something on the authors and their backgrounds?

Thanx, Stan

Reply: Yes there were, and I may well do :)

Subject: Wooley Character

Just a note: I am pretty sure that Bernard Wooley read Classics, not English. (He tells us this in an episode - I can't recall which.)

Appreciate the page and I will be back. Maybe as well as GIFs you can get WAV or AU (sound) files?

Reply: Well, he actually said that Humphrey read Classics (it was A Real Partnership). I hope to do some sound bites when I get the equipment to do them with....

I believe he was in the "Dance of the Dead" episode of _The Prisoner_.

Great actor.

Hi again.

Bernard Woolley was at Cambridge not Oxford.

Source: "Doing the Honours" at page 230 of _The Complete Yes Minister_.

Sir Arnold Robinson was at Oxford (Baillie College), as revealed in that same episode where he speaks to Humphrey of "_our_ old college" (emphasis added).

Regards,
Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems Cleveland, Ohio USA

Reply: Well, in 'The Tangled Web', Bernard gains the tape from the producer because "we were at Oxford together", if it says otherwise in the book, then the TV version is taken to be the authority, but thanks anyway :)
As for the info about Sir Arnold, I know he was at Baillie, and when I get round to doing profiles of any vaguely major characters (not just the main three), it will be mentioned.

Loved your site. I hope you will continue to add more about yes, minister and yes, prime minister. It never really caught on in the U.S. (probably because people here don't understand satire all that well). I'm a big fan of the show and will continue to "surf" past your site in hopes of more fun.

thanks,

I watched the yes minister and yes PM series ages ago when they were broadcast in India..and I can still laugh at the same old jokes.

None of the american commecies are in the same catagory.

Love the site.

The show is one of wife's and my favorites.

We met while living in London and fell in love with each other, and with the series at roughly the same time.
