Yes Minister, Series 2

In series two, a newly built hospital has a full administration staff but no patients due to the government influenced reduction of medical staff. For some reason, Sir Humphrey does not want this particular boat rocked. Meanwhile, the Minister is shocked to find that his Department is responsible for supplying all the government's electronic surveillance gear, yet his campaign was based in part on his opposition to bugging and phone tapping. Classic satirical comedy starring Paul Eddington and Nigel Hawthorne.
