Good morning Publius ((HUGS))
Don’t recognize those. British tv?
It's about the tension existing between the British civil service, who stay in power no matter what party controls Parliament, and the politicians who think they control policy. The episodes are written brilliantly, and the acting is superlative.
When the show aired on Thursday nights, everything in the UK shut down as everyone was home watching the antics of politician Jim Hacker, civil servant Sir Humphrey Appleby, and their comic foil Bernard Wooley. It was Margaret Thatcher's favorite TV show, and the DVD's are a precious part of my collection.
