However, they should watch it because it is not just funny, it is very accurate. In one episode when the minister is criticising his permanent secretary, Sir Humphrey Appleby, for the amount of bureaucracy that exists, Sir Humphrey tells him quite rightly that it has nothing to do with him, it has nothing to do with the bureaucrats.
J'ai vu un épisode où le ministre blâmait son secrétaire permanent, sir Humphrey Appleby, pour l'importance de la bureaucratie et sir Humphrey lui répondait, à juste titre, que ce n'était ni sa faute ni celle des bureaucrates.
