In praise of ... Yes Minister

For all the insider insight, it was co-scripted by a former On the Buses writer, and the acting is a delight. Go and see In the Loop by all means, but if you need to calm down afterwards, half an hour of Yes Minister could be just the thing.

The Guardian, 20th April 2009
