| Summary: | Follow the Right Honourable James Hacker as he enters central government in one of the most influential British comedies of all time. James has landed the plum job of Cabinet Minister to the Department of Administration. At last he is in a position of power and can carry out some long-needed reforms - or so he thinks. He is totally unprepared for the deviousness of his Permanent Under-Secretary. Sir Humphrey Appleby has a long and distinguished career of putting politicians in their place, and Jim Hacker is no exception. Pruning the civil service is a great political platform for the Minister but the idea is deeply upsetting to Sir Humphrey Appleby. He explains that the civil service measures its success by the size of its staff and budget. Perhaps he can find a way to make the Minister abandon the policy.
