Date: November 1st, 2021 9:11 PM Author: harsh dark fanboi space Just started re-watching both series. Even almost 40 years later the writing is still hilarious and very relevant. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4954486&forum_id=2Reputation#43367572) |

If you liked Yes Minister you should watch The Thick of It. Peter Capaldi is hilarious. |

Date: November 1st, 2021 10:19 PM Author: harsh dark fanboi space I think Veep went on for 2 or 3 seasons too long. Also the finale was one of the weirdest things I've ever watched. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4954486&forum_id=2Reputation#43368051) |

Date: November 1st, 2021 10:32 PM Author: Aggressive den becky Trivia: the two main writers were close friends who sat on opposite ends of politics, one Labor one Conservative. That’s why the Jim Hacker character is never identifiable as being left or right, and the show is about government as a process and machine rather than as anything partisan. No partisan “jokes”, ever. I’m certain this is a big part of what makes it great and timeless. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4954486&forum_id=2Reputation#43368143) |

Date: November 1st, 2021 10:51 PM Author: harsh dark fanboi space Agreed, the show was never about "politics" per se, although from what people have told me, to contemporary British viewers it was fairly clear Hacker was a Tory.
