Yes Prime Minister

1980 年的英國sit-com,千禧年初終於出dvd,2010 我才看。足足遲了三十年,點知仍然笑到pk。高質sit-com,盡見英國佬玩弄文字的幽默、玩手段、處處自嘲英國如何受制於美國,well 其實它嘲諷一切。當年明珠台曾經轉播,還幫改了個抵死中文名《首相你想點》。於2004年的時候,Yes Prime Minister 在英國最佳情景喜劇的投票中排第六,可見這劇長青不死。










究竟身為PM 要做d 咩?

"That's lot of things people want you to do, and a lot of things you should do, and there's a number of things you can do, but there's very few things you have to do."

On readers of newspapers:

Hacker: Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers: the Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country; The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country; The Times is read by people who actually do run the country; the Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country; the Financial Times is read by people who own the country; The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country; and The Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is.
Sir Humphrey: Prime Minister, what about the people who read The Sun?
Bernard: Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits.

What can I say? It's really brilliant!
