Yes, Prime Minister

The hilarious BBC comedy Yes, Prime Minister is back – and brought into the 2000’s with a bang! Prime Minister Gemma Hacker is steering a fragile coalition government at breaking point. The UK is in crisis, debt is spiralling and unemployment is on the rise. Salvation may exist in the form of a complex pipeline deal with the oil-rich country of Kumranistan which would entitle the government to a multi trillion-pound loan. However, when the Kumranistan Foreign Secretary makes rather a strange request of Private secretary Bernard Woolley, moral considerations collide with the economic future of the nation. What ensues is pure classic farce!

How will Gemma and her team : Bernard, Cabinet Secretary Sir Humphrey Appleby, and Special Advisor Claire Sutton, reconcile the two?

Director Paul Lomax says, “I think we all like to imagine what really happens within the hallowed corridors of Westminster. There’s that inner curiosity of being a fly on the wall and seeing what the people running the country may really be getting up to – whatever their political colour. I’m sure this weekend at Chequers is one the Prime Minister would quickly like to forget! “
