Trivia
It is noticeable throughout the run of this show, (and particularly in the second series) that in most of Paul Eddington's scenes, he is sitting down. This was due to the fact that Eddington's health had begun to deteriorate and production changes had to be made to accommodate his condition. See more »Quotes

This series is simply the best political comedy ever. From first hand experiences not with the british but the european administration and from my studies of political science I can pledge the satire to be really, really sharp. The dialogues are superb and I simply love the characters. Sir Humphrey is unbeatable. As a fellow writer already commented a must see for everyone into politics.
