Yes Minister, Special: Party Games

Secretary to the Cabinet Sir Arnold Robinson is retiring, and Sir Humphrey is to take his place. Hacker celebrates by getting gloriously drunk and is lucky to escape the breathalyser - unlike the Deputy Prime Minister. With his successor out of the way, the Prime Minister too steps down and the hunt is on to find his replacement. The politicians favour a strong candidate, someone with style and charisma who will lead the party into a new term of office. The Civil Service favour someone less headstrong, more 'receptive to advice'. Classic satirical comedy starring Paul Eddington and Nigel Hawthorne.
