5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, December 16, 2011
This review is from: Yes, Prime Minister Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
Brilliant satire - excellent, witty writing and great acting. I watched this many years ago and bought the series on DVD. It's one of those Britcoms that can be watched year after year and still be funny.
