'Yes Minister' has just been repeated on Radio 4 Extra as part of their "Classic Comedy Hour" each weekday. I must say that some of those classic comedies have not lasted well: Steptoe & Son has its moments but becomes unlistenable before the end of its 25 or so minutes, The Navy Lark stretches a few jokes too thinly...but Yes Minister is still superb, a perfect marriage of scripts and cast.

Possibly because you can see parallels with every Government since it was first broadcast.
