John Nettleton, who played the Cabinet Secretary, Sir Arnold Robinson, in 'Yes Minister', died recently age 94. Seeing him here is to be reminded of what a fine character actor he was and what a wonderful contribution he made to the show

[@thabisoleeuw6757]

May he rest in peace. 94?! Goodness! He played Sir Arnold really well

[@JKH133]

What an absolute champion

[@papadocsamedi2544]

Dialoog is brilliant and so are all the main characters and others are not lacking behind 🙂

[@Salamander6969]

RIP John Nettleton. Sir Arnold was legendary

[@ianmorris5501]

They were all superb, a real masterpiece.😀

[@CalvinPoet]

The coherence of Humphrey's extended speenches is incredible. No matter how long he goes on, if you listen carefully and attend to every word, he's never speaking gibberish, even when it sounds like nonsense. Nigel Hawthorne's memory bank must've been bursting at the brim by the end of these series.

[@mimiweeks6919]

He once told Jonathan Lynn he could remember all his speeches and JL said he felt rather guilty for cluttering up his brain!

[@jasonyoung9226]

The train carriage scene is simply brilliant. John Savident was a great addition to a stellar cast 👌

[@jordanread5829]

21:31 is one of my favourite scenes in the whole series. Hacker finally beats Humphrey at his own game. Shame the whole scene isn't played. Seeing Humphreys smug face from the start of the interview go to shear panic in an instant is comedy gold.

[@tylerperry8688]

This is the first time I noticed Hacker crumpling the paper😀. And I have been rewatching this show so many times over the years. What a show! You always notice something new each time.

[@timeodaneosetdona]

Indeed. I just noticed that when the Irish are mentioned in “The Official Visit”, Hacker checks under his seat on the train ;)

[@azizulislamashiksm-1842]

The sad thing is how this show is getting more and more relatable everyday.

[@ChanceKearns]

The British government has been a comedy since forever

[@sugarnads]

Its always been relatable.

[@qiaoss2388]

2024 now, still enjoy watching this episode. thanks to all pf them

[@iwasglad122]

Apart from the writing and performances, which I don't think have ever been equalled in BBC comedy, what stands out for me is that, in the world of politics, nothing has changed! This is as relevant today as it was 40 years ago.

[@petermorris9818]

Faultless writing and acting. I'm rereading the Complete Yes Minister and Prime Minister. Please try and get hold of them. Written in the form of political diaries, "edited" by the authors.

[@sumithas9193]

Still a delight to watch even after so many years.

[@HurreJunior]

Sir Humphrey’s very accurate “Welcome to the standing committee” 😂

[@debbieramsey-hanks3757]

Great fun and intelligent, quick wit .

[@pizmiov]

This has got to be English comedy at its best. Absolutely wicked!

[@frankmcfarlane-e8m]

This series is about "the swamp"...that ubiquitous, omnipresent, eternal corps of underlings who actually run the show.

[@papadocsamedi2544]

Dialoog is brilliant and so are all the main characters and others are not lacking behind 🙂

[@feralbluee]

8:09 The Marx Brothers in berth aboard ship - just soo hilarious. this is British humor or should we say humour, and kooky in its own way. :)) 😊🧐

[@vivektulja4516]

"It's my wife's wedding anniversary tomorrow". English humor at its best.

[@2Links]

It takes two to quango hahaha

[@Raymond_Cooper]

Poor man. Drew sir HUMPY in the lucky draw😢😂

[@geetanjalisharma2766]

😂😂😂

[@kimberlyortman7862]

😂❤❤❤❤😂

[@sislam6446]

" The mountain shall go to Mohammad" ? What did he mean ?

[@Crunch2327]

Francis Bacon, Essays, 1625.

[@c2757]

@@Crunch2327 ..or call it half past four between friends.

[@kakefisk]

Its (half) of a english saying. "if mohammad wont come to the mountain, the mountain shall go to mohammad" If you cannot do things the easy and obvious way, then you might as well do them the hard and roundabout way.

[@martinbyrne8101]

Watching shows like this just illiterates the demise of the the bbc . They no longer have the the will and skill to write a show as clever as this.

[@tysiscoe]

Illiterates indeed.

[@breynpanik9688]

Somebody tell BBC that their videos have a very high (treble) whistling noise in them. And no its not my PC/Speakers and it only happens with "Yes Minister" episodes

[@AvroVulcanXH607]

You'll find it's 15.625KHz line squeal from old CRTs. Not everyone can hear it, especially once you pass a particular age

[@Jokie155]

Might be worth trying to filter it out with equalisers. It's present in a lot of older BBC DVDs unfortunately. And presumably this clip is taken from the same digital source.
