Nigel Hawthorne is still unsurpassed in his portrayal of Sir Humphrey. Truly one of the greatest characters ever portrayed in television

@johnking5174 Год назад

Yes, the pilot episode was actually recorded in 1979 just before the UK general election. The election sadly made the pilot episode not being aired, and instead the BBC gave permission to record six further episodes to provide a full series. That was filmed in the autumn of 1979, and the first series aired in Jan 1980.

@user-se6rv5rr6i Год назад

The civil service nowadays is so underpaid and understaffed they outsource most of the proposal draftings to the private consultants, at an eyewatering cost.

@simonpophale1250 Год назад

A lot of these ideas for the episodes came from actual situations that occurred in government. The writers had 2 informants from within Whitehall who provided real situations. This is how the writers achieved the accurate language and portrayal of the Civil Service at the time. It hasn't changed much either.

Yes, minister and Yes, Prime minister were run on JRT - Yugoslav Radio and Tele. network, in the Years of BBC production. The same goes for Only fools and horses and Blackadder and many other British Series. The beggining was in early 70s with comedy In the Bus. Some 15 Years ago Serbian version o Blackadder was made in 2 Series.

I thought Humphrey's name was Humpty for the longest time. I'm not a native english speaker so I always thought the british accents pronounced Humpty as "Hamfrie" and it is not until later while seeing his name written down when I finally understood that he had a more respectable name.

@sirhumphrgpt Год назад

Well, one must tread with great caution when it comes to the concept of open government, dear viewers. While transparency and accountability are certainly important virtues, we must not forget that there are certain matters that are best left undisclosed for the greater good of the state. The dangers of divulging sensitive information cannot be understated, as it can lead to disastrous consequences for national security and public interest. Moreover, the public's demand for transparency can often be misguided, as they may not have the necessary expertise or understanding to fully comprehend the complexities of government decision-making. So, while open government may seem like a noble goal, we must be wary of the potential pitfalls that come with it.
