A speech by Jim Hacker MP

By Andrew | Published: August 17, 2009

I have been stricken with man flu. I’ve been occupying myself with munching paracetamol, blowing my nose and watching episodes of Yes Minister to cheer myself up. Yes Minister is one of the greatest TV shows to come out of the 1980s. It’s hilarious and provides a penetrating window into the quagmire of British politics. As I’m off to go and feel sorry for myself I’ll leave you with this clip of Rt Hon. Jim Hacker MP, demonstrating some of the things that can go wrong when using notes.
