I take “Yes, Minister” together with it’s follow-up “Yes, Prime Minister”. It’s old, yes, and British, but I’ve yet to see a series with more memorable quotes.

I must rewatch this, I feel I was too young to get most of the more subtle humour when I first watched it.

Absolutely. The scenes where Sir Humphrey explains British Newspapers to the minister or talks with Frank Weisel about conscription were absolutely gold! Or “The Prime Minister giveth, and the Prime Minster taketh away.” ;-)

I remember the scene where Sir Humphrey, explains why the UK must be inside the EEC in order to make a mess out of it. So good…
