Jim collapsing onto the table over the idea of having to spend any longer listening to Humphrey is probably the most honest he's ever been.
What he said about journalists and his colleagues is not much behind.
Jim's(Paul's) drunk is probably the best drunk I've ever seen.
The man was a gifted actor.
Especially as he was a Quaker, a pacifist and teetotal! He was quite good at playing a drunk or a self-regarding backstabbing politician, considering!
Jim: I promise not to get all political
3 drinks later: I can't send Humphrey to prison :(
He said nothing about getting legal! 🤣
Well, Humphrey is a bureaucrat, so it really isn't political. ;-)
His sadness at his helplessness on Humphrey is probably his best bit in the series . He shows how he is comlletely helpless against a man who is just too good at his job .
Considering how Humphrey's job is often making it impossible for Hacker to do his, his sadness is justified.
Hacker: *Drunkenly rambles on about throwing Humphrey into Prison*
Humphrey: Is that the minister's opinion or the port's opinion?
as the saying goes: "a drunk man says what a sober man thinks.
Yes
@@ransherman1611 You can always wholeheartedly believe a drunk. They are the biggest tellers of truth.
In vino veritas
The way they all turn and look at Humphrey gets me every time. They're all thinking what crime he may have covered up.🙈
It would probably be easier to found out what crimes he hasn’t covered
Hacker's best impressions of Churchill turn out to be when he's drunk
To be fair, that's true for Churchill as well.
@@esbenandersen5706 He took more out of alcahol, than alcahol took out of him.
I just noticed he calls it a 'doctorary honorate ' it came out so naturally that I never heard it until now.
So expertly done!
Timestamp?
@@g-forcemapping8454 2:59
Oh my!! I noticed it now only. Thank you for pointing it out.
@@yt-rf5et almost like a doctor of law himself
"If judges had to spend time listening to my Cabinet colleagues, they'd bring capital punishment back tomorrow!"
🤣🤣🤣
And a bloody good job too.
Stunning! I love the way he says "Humpy" only when he's pissed, like in the episode with the departmental Christmas drinks before the drink driving
liquor, Food and honoury doctorate, what a deadly combination
@Rahul Kumar Doctorary Honorate, actually
In complete agreement with your opinion at least when Doctorates become politicians at cost of public service.
JUDGE!? They bring capital punishment back tomorrow and a bloody good job too. To tell you another thing I can't send him to prison.
Now I have to listen to him, Oh god... captivating acting. A magnificent bit from splendid series
Correction to the description: Contributions to Humpy's old college. Hacker went to the LSE, not Oxford.
And to Baliol college in particular.
2:52 quite a clever joke at his level of intoxication.
This series is so good it should be awarded a Nobel Prize !
Nobel Prize? Er...
Just saw this episode yesterday paul eddington acting is this scene is just gold
He does drunk so well.
@@64Alvis He was such a great actor.
3:00 doctorary honorarates , Exquisite !!
1:33 Humphrey's face always cracks me up
"'You don't want to give your doctary onnerates to Judges............"
Sir Humphrey at 2:40 : I am in danger
1:21 Hacker’s a little scary when he gets that drunk
Hacker drunk is the most politician I've ever seen him. Make you wonder if all politicians are always drunk. Would explain their behaviour....
Churchill was
Although the series depresses me (too much truth and nothing's changed since the 80s) I adore watching small bits like this
Haha the hand on the lapel is so good 😂 “Churchill mode” 😅
Napoleon as per the book
Timeless genius. As true today as it ever was.
"Some of his (Humphrey's) sentences are longer than Judge Jeffreys'!" Alas this probably went over the heads of 90% of the audience.
Does that bit touch the fact that Judge Jefferys gave too much death sentences or were his sentences abnormally long?
@@saya7292 You're getting ahaed of yourself there mate. First explain who the hell is Judge Jeffrey.
@@bilalbaig8586 A British Judge in the 17th century who is also called the hanging judge.
Drinking & Driving is illegal, yet Drinking & Governing isn't XD.
Well if that happened that's a lot of MPs out.
Ooh man the poor toad is SMASHED! What an Actor!
Missed these Old Friends over Dinner Talks indeed! Especially on Friday Nights! 🕯🌷🌿🌍🇬🇧
There will be queues of unemployed judges, in silly wigs. That's a lovely picture 😆
Maybe one day a reality, if the supreme court is abolished :D .
@@jimtaylor294 ohh 😳 May be not so lovely.
Port and Cigars - how wonderful! Let us all dice with the risk of some form of Oral cancer! LOL
Every now and then Hacker seems like a decent guy then the politician in him comes out.
3:01 "doctorary honorate"
the late Ronald marsh at the head of the table meet him once really nice chap
Do you mean Reginald Marsh? It's actually Frank Middlemass.
One of my favourite scenes- so funny, yet quite profound.
i love when he goes into churchill mode
Cuts off JUST too early but a second later Jim's elbow slips and he loses his balance and almost hits the table lmao
'Beautifully argued'
Wish this was available on iplayer or Netflix
If you have Amazon Prime, you can get a free one-week subscription to Brit Box, which has all three seasons of Yes Minister and the season of Yes, Prime Minister. I think there is a charge after that free week though, but you can cancel right after subscribing and keep the 7 days. If you don't have much else to do, that would be enough time to watch all the episodes.
*Very pleasant indeed*
Clang bang see you in three years time🤣
On the same (top) level as Monty Python!
Brilliant British humor @ its best.
*ahem,* **the Minister is wrong.**
he would have been correct if he was in France, where legislation is the sole source of law, but the UK is The Country of the common law system. in simple terms, that means the courts have legislative power too-provided the absence of existing statutes. if the entirety of Parliament was suddenly swallowed by a sinkhole, the powers of legislation would probably default to the Monarch (who is, after all, its original wielder anyways) and to the courts, by extension.
oh, but i'm not a lawyer. (though i think i'm mostly right.)
Many English scholars would disagree with you because of the principle of parliamentary supremacy.
What happens in UK if due to some reasons a government is unable to form after elections due to any party not getting majority and not forming any kind of alliance due to some issues. Who will run the country then?
That smile of good conduct got me
Best TV show from Britain !
To change the subject completely.
ah thats the Duke of Bedlington from When the Boat Comes In
Doctory Honorate 3:00
Tak właśnie się żyło się za cudze ale się skończyło .
Jiadgeee
A very precise impression, confessedly.
they used beat us like a gong, love him.
Now i know why some royals banned alcohol in past
.....coz the truth comes out gushing
'doctory honourates'.
"DJUUUDGE"
When things made sense.
Doctory honorates...
Which episode is this clip taken from ?
This is series 2 episode 2
Doing the Honours
A little ham-handed but it was a long time ago.
Political Humour, Lol!!!!
