Reviews

Scalpel-sharp in observation, deceptively simple
in construction... at its frequent best
Yes Prime Minister exhibits the classical perfection of a
Mozart sonata

—— Richard Last , The Times

Its closely observed portrayal of what goes on in the
corridors of power has given me hours of pure joy

—— Rt Hon. Margaret Thatcher MP

Yes Prime Minister is a comedy in a class of its own

—— Celia Brayfield , The Times

Yes Prime Minister... is not only a continuing marvel ofediting by Jonathan Lynn and Antony Jay but also a
collector's must

—— John Coldstream , Daily Telegraph

Sublime comic genius

—— Ben Elton
