Title: The Complete Yes Prime Minister: Description:
This is a marvellously funny book, well worth reading. Unlike most collections of scripts from TV comedies, this has been carefully and skilfully edited to make it into a highly plausible diary. We learn of Jim Hacker's rise to the office of Prime Minister and observe his relationships with leading Civil Service figures, such as Sir Humphrey Appleby and Bernard Woolley. The tension between party politics and goverment and the scheming of the civil service officials is brilliantly worked out throughout the diary. Wry comments on British political, religious and military history subtly abound. A highly entertaining book that presents a tongue-in-cheek view of the goings on at No 10, it's easy to get really involved with the story. The portrayal of various characters is superb, the odious and somewhat ineffectual PM Jim Hacker, the highly intelligent, scheming Sir Humphrey and the pragmatic and pedantic Bernard Woolley shine through. Great fun - read it.
