From Yes, Prime Minister;

[b]Humphrey[/b]: "The only way to understand the Press is to remember that they pander to their readers' prejudices."

[b]Hacker[/b]: Don't tell me about the press, I know exactly who reads the papers: The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country; The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country; The Times is read by people who actually do run the country; the Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country; the Financial Times is read by people who own the country; The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country; and The Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is.

[b]Sir Humphrey[/b]: Prime Minister, what about the people who read The Sun?

[b]Bernard[/b]: Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits.

Such a perfect comedy, and so scary how many of the jokes are still so utterly relevant and up to date today.

Still absolutely spot on. Never dated at all. Scarily accurate now 30(?) years later. My 12 year old didn't realise it wasn't a recent show.

Plus ca change....

Ce soir, mon vieux, ce soir!

(Also have every single episode on my tablet for my travels. Often have to remember not to laugh so loudly in noise cancelling headphones!)
