Yes, Minister: Party Games (#9)
Mark and Cory talk about the O.G. of British Political Sitcoms: Yes, Minister. They marvel at the genial Machiavellian genius that is Jim Hacker exploiting the British sausage to win a leadership contest, explain why this episode is a good guide for would-be leadership contenders, and lay it on a bit thick with their marmalade discussion.
If you're in the UK then you can watch this on BBC iPlayer.
Next time, we're watching Brexit: The Uncivil War.
Cory’s email newsletter is Paperback Rioter and Mark has a family of email newsletters.
