Yes Minister is probably the most intelligent and well-produced sitcom of all time surpassing even Arrested Development, Archer and Spaced. It will never replace Spaced in my affections but is still laugh out loud funny.
Written decades ago it is still relevant topical and fresh. It could have been made last week.
Performances are uniformly spot on.
I suppose that one might argue that the series has one comparatively weak episode in the whisky priest but even Yes Minister's weak episodes are good. And, lets be honest, even Shakespeare wrote Two Gentlemen of Verona.
This series deserves another broadcast so the new generation can discover it.
