Series 2, Episode 5 - Power To The People
Frustrated by the continued obstacle of local councils to central government policy, not to mention their unwieldynature and lack of democratic accountability, Hacker finds himself welcoming radical reform proposals from a leading professor. Neither Sir Humphrey, nor a troublesome militant socialist feminist council leader, however, are keen on the plans.
