Delightful British satire in which incompetent Jim Hacker becomes prime minister, and is manipulated by the scheming Sir Humphrey Appleby. Starring Nigel Hawthorne (Oscar-nominated for the title role in `The Madness of King George') and Paul Eddington, it was a favorite of Margaret Thatcher, and found Hacker in all kinds of bizarre predicaments, including one in which he launched a nuclear missile. Along with its popular predecessor, `Yes, Minister,' it was broadcast in 47 countries.
