"How does it feel, Richard, to move from the commons to the lords?" "Like moving from animals to the vegetables" 😂😂😂😂😂

[@florinivan6907]

Briliant demonstration of the difference between experts in a certain scientific field and politicians. The politician had no scientific credentials but he understood human nature outside of the lab.Consequently he pretty much forced the scientist to say what he wanted.

[@blueponypics4112]

🤣😂🤣🐎🐎🐎🇭🇲🇺🇸

[@matthew8153]

How relevant for today.

[@annacarter6559]

Which was the opposite of the truth

[@MichaelFreckelton]

I love how here Henderson is in the energy business, as the first thing I saw this actor in was Doctor Who... Where he was the CEO of Global Chemicals

[@smorris12]

Global Chemicals obviously came /after/ the Henderson report when his career had been so savaged by the popular press that he had changed his name and started growing giant maggots to get back at the world!

[@jkolorath]

"Rubbishing a study report" Should have been the title and Sir Humphrey's tutorial could have been included. Yet "Animals to the vegetables" cracks me up every time.😆😅

[@rezimonavardisashvili393]

Oh what a coincidence😁.Ono of the worst governmental decision I witnessed. And one of the best political decisions I made. Masterfully played by Jim. "Very courageous" cornerstone phrase of series

[@johnking5174]

0:55 - Notice how they had to light Paul Eddington a bit more here. He was sitting next to a table lamp, but in production the light was not providing the brightness required, and so a side up light was used by the team to bring more light to Paul, however they overdid it a little bit.

[@JJVernig]

Interesting observation. Somewhat too lowly placed also. But in contrast with current shows on television its lightyears better.

[@dubey_ji]

Very Courageous works in every field

[@McRocket]

If I had to take just one sitcom to a desert island? It would probably be Yes Minister/Prime Minister.

[@stephenphillip5656]

Definitely.

[@gamesandstuff127]

But so few episodes..... Not that a lot of episodes are necessary, but if I'm on a desert island, I need something that might last a while, as well as being excellent. Perhaps MASH?

[@georgeh5075]

As a chemist I relate to this. How quickly the truth can be twisted by politicians :/

[@lauterunvollkommenheit4344]

MetaHenderson is an inert form of Henderson.

[@matthew8153]

A harmless disease was turned into a need to lock people in their homes and paint politicians as heroes.

[@siredith8846]

Thatcher, being a biochemist, would have insisted Hacker approve metadioxin.

[@SpeckleKen]

Yes, but only because, as a biochemist, she would have known that metadioxin couldn't exist, and therefore wouldn't help any actual British people.

[@GardEngebretsen]

Also because if it was actually toxic, then she'd be happy that it'd kill some working class people.

[@siredith8846]

@@SpeckleKen Yes Minister is fictional if you did but know it.

[@siredith8846]

@@GardEngebretsen That too!

[@matthew8153]

@@GardEngebretsen You really do believe whatever drivel the communists spew.

[@wedgeantillies66]

Love how Hacker uses the methodology to discredit a report that humphrey instructed him in earlier in the episode to beat Humphrey at his own game and get the desired outcome he wants' politically speaking.

[@kgd9725]

What did henderson take out of his shoes as he entered ?

[@victoriousrufus6747]

Looks like you never rode a bicycle!

[@c2757]

@niels lund I think you probably mean that he took his cycle clips off his trousers. This is an English series. In the English language, what you suggest would be indecent.

[@nnannakalu9423]

Cunning political intimidation from Jim!

[@yt-rf5et]

He really did have the killer instinct. Although always needed a little nudge.

What cheap “immortality”

[@danieldickson8591]

Henderson will be forever remembered. As a gutless waffler.

[@tokoyonokuni4656]

Scientists: "litterature is unemployement manufacture." Also scientists: "can you say it again?"

[@jamesmacdonald1116]

i wonder if this is how we ended up with lead paint and asbestosis

[@SpeckleKen]

Lead paint was in use in the 4th century BC (Pliny the Elder wrote about it), so... probably not.

[@stoyanfurdzhev]

All about common decency.

[@MonaMarMag]

Jeżeli w rządzie Wielkiej Brytanii zasiadali właśnie tego typu ludzie to wcale nie dziwi mnie obecna sytuacja tego kraju . Mam głęboką nadzieję , że wszystkim ludziom w Wielkiej Brytanii otworzyły się oczy i powróciła świadomość aby mogli sprowadzić swój kraj na właściwą drogę .
