Yes Prime Minister

In 1982, Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn penned the first episodes of Yes Minister for the BBC. It was an instant hit. Their characters and situations revealed, to a largely unsuspecting public, the deliciously awkward marriage between civil servants and politicians. Twenty-five years later these brilliant wordsmiths have done it again and this time it's a hit play!

It's 2011. A lot has happened since the Rt Hon. Jim Hacker MP last walked the corridors of Whitehall. There's the GFC, rising oil prices, minority governments, illegal immigrants and global warming. If that's not enough to contend with, the 24 hour news cycle, constant bleating of mobile phones, endless emails and a new generation of spin doctors.

Starring Philip Quast (Mary Poppins) as the cynical Cabinet Secretary, Sir Humphrey Appleby, alongside familiar Australian TV star Mark Owen-Taylor (All Saints, A Country Practice) playing the embattled Prime Minister Jim Hacker, and John Lloyd-Fillingham (UK's National Theatre and Royal Shakespeare Company) as the hapless assistant, Bernard Woolley and Caroline Craig (Blue Heelers, Underbelly) as Hacker's policy advisor.
