The writers had advisors who had worked within the government and many of the stories were based on real situations. For example, in Yes Minister: The Moral Dimension (1982) they go to an arab state where alcohol is not allowed and so they set up a "communications room" in the embassy where they keep a stash of booze so they could slip out and have a drink. This really happened.
A bedrock programme in the UK comedy structure, Yes Minister embodied the early 1980s attitude to authority and politics as a gently hypocritical world filled with doubletalk.

Three series were made between 1980 and 1984, before Jim Hacker achieved real power in Yes Prime Minister.

The series follows Right Honorable James Hacker MP, Minister for Administrative Affairs, and his attempts to make officialdom and administration make sense. He does this whilst pushing his own self-serving agenda, and keeping his head above any nasty political waters. Throughout his career, he's up against Whitehall’s Sir Humphrey Appleby, unflappable symbol of a machine that has no gears, only brakes.
今天聊聊英剧《是,大臣第3季》。
片名Yes Minister Season 3 (1982),别名遵命,部长 / 部长大人(台)。
《是,大臣》第三季中詹姆斯·乔治·哈克大臣(James George Hacker)继续和汉弗莱·阿普尔比爵士(Sir Humphrey Appleby)斗智斗勇,顺带着可爱的伯纳(Bernard)在旁边冷冷吐槽。
哈克大臣代表的是职业政客,阿普尔比和伯纳代表的是职业公务员,两方根本利益不同,但也因为身处同一个部门而在宏观上处于利益共同体。双方除了较劲外,更多还是以把自己的蛋糕做大为根本。
在编导的带领下
第一集 Equal Opportunity 机会均等
1、M对自己作为政治人物的个人成就支支吾吾。Sarah看的很清楚。作为个人,想要achievement而不是activity(花无尽时间给无关人等就无关事项传递无关信息spend endless hours circulating information that isn't relevant about subjects that doesn't matter to people who aren't interested)治理国家很重要,只是没看到谁在做。厌烦了那些花招。物以类聚人以群分,看看当Sarah说出这些时他们吃惊的表情,不要想着从内部尤其是从下至上改变他们,他们会觉得你疯了。

Three articles of Civil Service: it takes longer to do things quickly; it is more expensive to do them cheaply; it is more democratic to do them in secret
Civil servants are grown like oak trees, not mustard and cress.
A: tell him the unions won't wear it.
B: but they like it!
A: that's beside the point.
A: well, if I might suggest...that we be realistic about this.
B: by realistic, you mean drop the whole scheme?
A: oh, dear me, no! but perhaps, a pause to re-group, allow us to reassess the situation and discuss alternative strategies? a space of time for mature reflection and deliberation?
B: ...yes you mean drop the whole scheme.
A: you are not saying that government the Britain is important?
B: no! it is very important! it's just that I haven't met anyone who's doing it!
