Customer Reviews of Yes Minister, Volume 1 [2 cassettes, BBC Audio Collection]
A great resource for the student of British politics It was hard enough even in the seventies for American audiences to fully 'get' _Yes, Minister_. Enjoyment of the show is greatly enchanced by at least a moderate familiarity with the British system of government, and gets funnier the more you know about Whitehall. Thirty years on, a lot of the political issues about which the characters speak are all but indecipherable on this side of the pond.
Yet, I adore this show. It's _Benson_ on steroids.
The relationships between the characters are so incredibly well drawn, the acting so superb, that, while helpful, knowledge about the specific issues debated by Humphrey and Hacker is secondary. Even if one doesn't quite understand what's so important about the "cod quota" or the "vehicle licensing center in Swansea", you laugh anyway because the acting's just that good.
I fell in love with this show while taking a British politics class, and am still convinced to this day that there is no single instructional material so able to give non-Britons a sense of the difference between their government and the British one.
What's interesting about the cassette version of _Yes, Minister_ (though not of _Yes, Prime Minister_) is that it was a capture of the radio version of the show, not simply the soundtrack from the televised episode. As a result there are many subtle differences, especially in the first episode, between the video and casette releases. For my money, the casette version is by far the better acted.
