Yes Minister

In this acclaimed British comedy series, Jim Hacker, a well-meaning but naive politician, becomes the Minister of Administrative Affairs and quickly learns that real power lies not with the elected officials, but with the clever and cunning bureaucrats who run the government. As he tries to implement his party's policies and make a difference, he must navigate the treacherous waters of Civil Service politics, where backstabbing, manipulation, and red tape are the norm. With the help of his principled private secretary, Bernard Woolley, and his scheming Permanent Secretary, Sir Humphrey Appleby, Jim must find a way to achieve his goals while avoiding being outmaneuvered by those who seek to maintain the status quo.
