2. Bring back Sir Humphrey Appleby! September 18, 2009 Bring back Sir Humphrey Appleby! One of my favourite television series is ‘Yes, Minister’ and ‘Yes, Prime Minister’, starring Paul Eddington as Jim Hacker MP, who eventually becomes Prime Minister, and Nigel Hawthorne as the double-speaking Whitehall mandarin, Sir Humphrey Appleby.

But one couldn’t call him “not talkative” or “untalkable.” That just was not true. He kept silence here and there, now... (read more) Author: Bruce Kriger
