Welcome. Thatcher was a HUGE fan of the show, so much so that she made a cameo appearance in of the episodes. Its not on DVD though.

This little exchange is from the Smoke Screen (yes PM). Reading it isn't as much fun as listening to it as it takes away from Humphrey's delivery. Still, any liberal today could be saying what Humphrey did:

Sir Humphrey: "Taxation isn't about what you need."

Jim Hacker (PM): "Oh, what is it about?"

Sir Humphrey: "Prime Minister, the Treasury doesn't work out what they need to spend and then think how to raise the money."

Jim Hacker: "What does it do?"

Sir Humphrey: "They pitch for as much as they think they can get away with and then think what to spend it on !!"

Anyone ever see a gem called "The Good Life" or here in the US (because of a copyright conflict) "Good Neighbors"?

The episodes of that show has been released on DVD. And the only reason why I ever heard of that show is because it was released on DVD. :-)

I loved it. :-)

Not sure about the character's name but the actress is in another show my wife likes. I think it's called "Rosemary and Thyme." They are gardeners and they solve murders, something like "Murder, she wrote" with British gardeners. I think Mrs Bear watches it on PBS.

I can’t believe I didn’t hear about this when it happened.How sad.

I met Inman at a book signing. After years of watching the show, I never thought I’d meet any of the actors, then there he was. He was absolutely charming in person. How sad.

Click Here. Information on the cast there. Unfortunately Mr. Bennett died in 1981, shortly after his departure from the show.
