    confirms what you always thought about your politicians - that they dont have a clue what they are doing, make policy up on the fly, and lead a totally miserable life. Not laugh out loud, more just excrutiating to watch in the mode of the office.

    It is somewhat excruciating, although not as much as The Office (assuming that you work in an office and not govnt). But the pain is worth it: "defecation outrage" still has us laughing.

    Like The Office, it's just not funny. Comparing this to Yes, Minister would be like comparing Little Britain to Monty Python. In that one's funny, the other's not.

    Pretty good......borrows a bit too liberally from 'The Office' though.......definitely a series that people have to pay close attention to, and it'll undoubtedly fly over most people's heads. But that's ok, WE get it. ;)

    The constant extremely shaky camera is making me sick. I get dizzy after only a couple minutes. Besides making me physically sick, the show doesn't make me laugh either. Maybe I am not into English comedy.

    A wonderful, brilliantly brutal, scathing look at British politics.

    This sly Britcom is like a C-SPAN spin-off of... The Office. [12 May 2006, p.75]

    Think of "The Office," "Larry Sanders," "Spin City" and "Yes Minister" rolled into one delirious stew.
