Stallard12 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Can anyone tell me, was 'Yes, Minister' a documentary? Or was it fiction? Saw it a few times and can't make up my mind !! Feeling whimsical this Monday morning - rain at last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asperity Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Hacker: Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers: the Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country; The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country; The Times is read by people who actually do run the country; the Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country; the Financial Times is read by people who own the country; The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country; and The Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is. Sir Humphrey: Prime Minister, what about the people who read The Sun? Bernard: Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits. :grin: :grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
