Here is what people are saying about the Yes Minister - The Complete Collection
5 Star Rating  "Unique, highly recommended"2009-04-07
- Reviewed By gbernkopf
I was looking for a good comedy and I purchased the collection based on the reviews. After watching the "Yes, Minister" and the "Yes, Prime Minister" collections I have to say that what the reviews have stated is true. Both are political satire of the highest quality in every respect. All episodes are funny, and a few are belly laugh funny.
Although the series reflect British politics in the eighties, the subject matter is just as relevant today and is applicable to American politics with minor variations. Aside from the governmental and social differences, one characteristic is that there is no "left" or "right" party. The opposition party is referred to only as the "opposition", without expression of ideology. Another is that the media is portrayed as independent, rather than partisan, and intelligent, rather than pedestrian. An added bonus is the honest and humorous insight into the British social structure. I highly recommend the series.
As in the past, Amazon gets five stars. I received the DVDs two days after I placed the order.
 
5 Star Rating  "Making the case for Closed Government."2009-03-31
- Reviewed By jingles_sunderland
What a delightful comedy series this is even after almost 30 years. The financial calamity engulfing the world at present has exposed much of the machinery of government as countries around the world seek to attribute blame for the credit crunch.

All of which makes this series ever the more timely. As a great fan of Parliamentary knockabout (Questions to the Prime Minister, Spitting Image), I recall this show on a weekly basis even while watching Gordon brown take questions for the House of Commons. For all the talk of permanent revolution which has pervaded the Home Civil Service for well over the 12 years of Labour governments, this show reminds one of how little has changed.

That is not to say that many of the issues raised in the show, such as the number of women in senior positions, have not been dealt with, but to what extent has the establishment, in the form of the Old Boy's Network, been disempowered? How many of the jobs of the top echelons of the Civil Service been given to non-Oxbridge graduates.? The opening up of the London Financial Community to non-graduate traders gave the political system a jolt which encouraged the employment of non-traditional graduates into many fields. What was intended as a bourgeousie expansion became little more than an affectation of upper middle and upper class behaviours and airs as well as aspirations. Private schools attracted many candidates from lower income families who scrimped and saved so that their offspring cound advance up the social and economic ladders.

The relevance of this is clear. Imagine an updated version of this show again written from an insider's perspective. I think it would be very similar although the furnishings and offices would be more expensive as well as expansive.

Yes, Minister continues to have relevance and many of the jokes still find a response from viewers. My son, about to embark on a year long civics course at high school, found it quite funny despite some of the very British comments and with some background explanation.

Perhaps it could be reissued with a special features disc including clips of Westminster Model of government as well as views from interested observers, like unions, think tanks, journalists and MPs. One wonders if the reception in the House of Commons which led to police officers arresting one participant was to discuss this item?

I am on my second runthrough of all the episodes. It is both amusing and educational to watch the inner workings of a minister of the British Crown. I would highly recommend this series to those who appreciate dry British Humor. My next purchase will be the continuation called "Yes, Prime Minister!"
 
5 Star Rating  "Each episode gets better as you view it again and again"2007-11-11
- Reviewed By User: A3TLX5CLH7NEL1
I have always been a big fan of Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister. The incredible thing is that when I had originally watched the series, I used to root for Hacker but later found myself taking some amount of sadistic glee over the manner in which Sir Humphrey gets his way. This series is one of the best ways to learn about politics, government and corridors of power in Britain. While the series has been abundantly exaggerated to create the element of comedy, sometimes fact is stranger than fiction. This is a series for intelligent viewers... each episode will seem better when you view it again.... there are far too many little details that you may not pick up on the first time round. Strongly recommend.
 
5 Star Rating  "Stupendously good"2007-09-19
- Reviewed By bucksmusic2
This is up there with the best TV comedy of all time. Fawlty Towers, Dads Army, Seinfeld, Black Adder, MASH and The Office - it merits comparison with all of these, its that good.

Paul Eddington is brilliant as Jim Hacker, the Minister of the title. A decent man who is destined to become Prime Minister, but who is greatly hindered by his Permanent Secretary Sir Humphrey Appleby. Appleby, as played by Sir Nigel Hawthorne IS one of the greatest TV comedy characters ever created. A man with only one interest; protecting the Civil Service and its staff. He also ensures that if anything is done by the Minister it is done exactly as the Civil Service wish it to be done, regardless of cost and damage to the Government.

Apart from the casts brilliance and the marvellous scripts, the reason this show is so successful is that it is very close to the truth, as was admitted by the writers many years after the series finished. The writers met and got inside information on the running of British Government departments. So whilst there is some dramatic licence the essence of each episode probably has some basis in truth.

Derek Fowlds plays the lesser role of Bernard Woolley, a slightly innocent Private Secretary, but given some wonderful lines by writers Jay and Lynn. Bernards petty observations contrast wonderfully with the Machiavellian plotting going on between Hacker and Sir Humphrey.

I never tire of watching this, it really is endlessly funny.
