Easily the best political satire ever to grace a television screen. This follow-up to the earlier Yes Minister is perfect in every way. Absolutely cutting, and sadly still as relevant as it was 20 years ago. The acting is top notch, with each episode containing many great lines. "The Bishop's Gambit", "Man Overboard" are particular highlights, but no episode is lacking in quality. Get this on DVD or wait till it is repeated on ABC (if you are in Australia).
