Yes, Prime Minister
Appearance
Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister are British sitcoms about the struggle between James "Jim" Hacker (played by Paul Eddington), a government minister (and later Prime Minister) and his civil servants and ministerial colleagues. Nigel Hawthorne plays Sir Humphrey Appleby K.C.M.G., a senior civil servant.
Much of the humor of the show derives from the conflict between United Kingdom Cabinet ministers who believe they are in charge, and the members of the British Civil Service who are really running the country.
