Gain Your Copy The Yes Minister Miscellany Originated By Antony Jay Distributed As Readable Copy
a few great and funny quotes, but definitely only for someone who knows the show well and loves it, As well as British politics, Hilarious. Extracts from the scripts of the series Ive seen many times over, Witty, clever amp relevant to all politicians seen in my lifetime and many more before Im sure, Sir Humphreys big speeches and Bernards Pedantry were particular highlights, First Class At the time when this was a great success on British television it opened the lid of the way in which the Government operated.
If you loved the series, then this book gives some interesting and little know facts about the making of the programme, An entertaining adjunct to that great TV series,
Largely a collection of quotes from the main protagonists, some of it feels painfully relevant to the current political scene, while some feels more like a comfortable portrayal of simper times.
One for the fans of Yes Minister, Very droll, a nice light read A short addition to one of my favourite television series, There is very little that hasn't been published elsewhere and half the book is quotes from the series, It is good for nostalgia and fans of the series, I couldn't recommend it to those who have never seen it, This is less a miscellany, more a collection of quotes it doesn't really provide much by way of information on YM, or those involved in making it.
Jay and Lynn's original material is still wonderful but it's hard to see what purpose is served in chopping the scripts up and rearranging them in what appears to often be a fairly random order.
A bit of a wasted opportunity, A collection of the funniest sketches, anecdotes, interviews, character and actor profiles, and personal recollections from the enduringly timeless BBC comedy series
Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister, in one perfect volume.
