Yes, Prime Minister
 In
this sequel to the series Yes, Minister Jim Hacker has been
promoted to Prime Minister and Sir Humphrey elevated to Cabinet
Secretary.
When the incumbent PM resigned, three candidates stood for the
top job - two extremists and the rather mundane Hacker.
By stealing the middle ground, Hacker (somewhat by default)
found himself installed in Downing Street.
As with the original series, Yes, Prime Minister was
much acclaimed by real politicians who enjoyed the show's cynical
dismissal of Whitehall intrigue and its insight into the
machinations of government.
