1. Prime Ministers was born to pursue the purest essence of rock, reaching audiences with a clear message and with a sound, loyal to the nature of the genre and the artistic movements that originated it. Ernesto and Nacho, leaders of this band , met in their teens. Since then, their common passion for music has led them to share not only musical experiences in different bands, but personal experiences as well. There are those who firmly believe that when you have a true passion, it will follow you until it catches up with you, and forces you to act upon it, bringing a new meaning to every experience youve lived, every step of the road.

2. Prime Ministers was a first generation Dutch punk band.

Bernard's sarcastic quips towards Sir Humphrey whenever he got a chance is so pleasing as an audience.

@Neil Walmsley Sir Humphrey was the icon of a lowly civil servant living hand to mouth, selflessly sacrificing everything in service of his country. LOL

Yeah, the progression from Humphrey lecturing Bernard in the first few seasons to Bernard quipping to put Humphrey down in the last season is delicious. Finally getting his own back on the mam who used to almost enjoy mocking him.

So lovely to see Bernard basking in the limelight for once, instead of just his droll one-liners, delightful as they were. The greatest show ever made. So thankful to my dad recording these on VHS even before I was born and then introducing it to me when I was growing up in the Middle East. Timeless.

Neil Walmsley

One of the things this show demonstrated was that characters such as Sir Humphrey and, to a lesser extent, Bernard tended to be considerably smarter in the confines of Government buildings than the Minister/Prime Minister Jim Hacker, but as soon as they were in front of the cameras, radio or in conversation with the public, they quickly got out of their depth and needed saving themselves, often by Hacker...

Many shows struggle with giving good final episodes to say farewell, but I'd say YPM did well for itself, giving Hacker and Bernard one final win against Humphrey 😊

Sir Humphrey Appleby could talk circles around Minister/Prime Minister James Hacker. Sir Nigel Hawthorne was one of the great British actors of the 20th century. I loved his acting performances.

Sir Humphrey's expression was sharp yet true. Very different to what he is know for

SHQA

He (Sir Humphrey) has a razor sharp mind and tongue. He would have been a great dialog coach for the British actors, who may not be eloquent in real life, umming and aahing, and you knowing in their interviews. 🤭🤭🤭

Treblaine

And what he said came to pass, he essentially describes how the system currently works with funding being withdrawn if the unemployed don't look for and accept employment.

The irony of Sir Humphrey Appleby blasting people who live on unemployment/housing benefit, yet his own salary/expenses is also paid for by the public as he is a civil servant. Sir Humphrey's salary actually cost the tax payers more per year than around 100 umemployment claimants back then. Irony.

He worked for it though... although his work usually involved screwing people over, so make of that what you will.

John King

@Kirbo "Worked" - I love that, Sir Humphrey and his like never did a hard days work in their lives. All those permanent secretaries acting like Gods in their department left all the work to the admin staff, people like Bernard in fact.

Anindya Ray

2y↑9

@John King Sir Humphrey's work is measured in terms of activities. Even if they are pointless :)

Arguably 100 persons are more likely to spend in Tescos, or local shops, problem is if the money goes on exports (beer, wine, tobacco, etc).

This is why - so far - I have rejected any invitation to conduct an interview, Facebook Live or TikTok session as a govt policy adviser. Even when my manager thinks it will probably be harmless (as long as I stick to the predefined script).
To me, written interviews are much more safe and convenient to do because I can blue-pencil the answers haha xD

@Arnav Mathur brother your suffering is beyond acceptable ,Britain like most empires was beyond cruel ,but we must look at each other's history and not be bound to it ,ireland after independence was not a glowing reference for care for the underclasses
Rome rule and the the rest is shocking disclosure of unparralled crime by Irish state angencies and mother church
India is also crippled by it's obsense hiaarchy of state neglect and religious backward approach to suffering ,please don't take my words as hate full ,I love many aspect of ancient Indian culture ,let move forward in peace and forgiveness ,
Shalom to you and all India

What sir Humphrey says is absolutely correct. There are lots of people who live on subsidies, although they are young and able but they spend most of their time refusing job offers.

@HP RStatistics can demonstrate this. If youre asking him to provide statistics off the cuff, then you are clearly not approaching the topic with honesty as it is impossible to source this without hours of meaningful research. What he is describing is whats known as a political statement, based on general notions in the aether rather than sourced directly from a study. It is demonstrably true, but whether it is true or not is not reflective upon the principle of whether unemployment benefits are justified.

The US requires accepting job offers, although they have to be appropriate, but over time one is supposed to be flexible. Depends on the State of course. And there s certainly is abuse of the system.

I hate Yes PM becoz how much they nerfed sir Humphrey complete contrast to shrewed and manipulative Humphrey in Yes M. I did enjoy certain moments in Yes M when he got outplayed by Hacker but making him complete fool in YPM was really bad character progression from writers part. They should have molded him into another Sir Arnold in YPM.
