Description
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. The Minister is puzzled by Sir Humphrey's evasion of questions about a departmental construction project in the Midlands. When the awful truth is revealed, the Minister finds himself implicated as well. Sir Humphrey must try to rescue the project without attracting publicity.
