Details

Jim Hacker, MP for Birmingham East and a thoroughly decent chap, is appointed Minister for Administrative Affairs in the wake of his party's general election victory. With his loyal advisors by his side, he takes up residence in Whitehall - but then comes up against the 'creaking old bureaucratic machine' of the Civil Service in the shape of the charming, but formidable, Sir Humphrey Appleby... It isn't long before an international crisis and trouble from Europe (what a surprise..!) tests Jim's patience to the limit in this hilarious slice of satire and farce, specially adapted from episodes of the BAFTA Award-Wining series. The production is produced with full approval of the original authors and will be raising money for Comic Relief.
