'Scalpel-sharp in observation, deceptively simple in construction... at its frequent best Yes Prime Minister exhibits the classical perfection of a Mozart sonata' - Richard Last in The Times
'Its closely observed portrayal of what goes on in the corridors of power has given me hours of pure joy' - Rt Hon. Margaret Thatcher MP 'Yes Prime Minister... is not only a continuing marvel of editing by Jonathan Lynn and Antony Jay but also a collector's must' - John Coldstream in the Daily Telegraph 'Yes Prime Minister is a comedy in a class of its own' - Celia Brayfield in The Times
A very short review of the Complete Yes Prime Minister
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
If you enjoyed the program, like to read, relish droll wit, and possess the IQ necessary to keep pace with the dialogue, then you will cherish this marvelous little tome. Its companion, the Complete Yes Minister, is equally entertaining.
Exquisite

Written by the scriptwriters for the (also brilliant) TV show, Yes Prime Minister is among the most delightful works of satire in English. Each chapter closely follows the thread of an episode and conveys it with the same delicious sense of irony. The chapters are a little more expansive than the television episodes, occasionally excerpting the memoirs of the main characters and reproducing memos (recently released under the freedom of information act) sent between offices.
