** Humphrey is genuinely outraged when Hacker decides to basically bribe his way out of a politically embarrassing situation by paying a "loan" of £50 million of taxpayer's money to Buranda, with the understanding they'll never pay it back. However, he quickly changes his tune when Hacker tells him they'll be a KBE in it for him if he goes along with it.

''Yes, Minister'' (1980-1984) is a BritCom about Jim Hacker (Creator/PaulEddington), an inexperienced cabinet minister ([[NoPartyGiven party never specified]]), and his permanent secretary, Sir Humphrey Appleby (Creator/NigelHawthorne), who really runs the department. The original three seasons were followed by ''Yes, Prime Minister'' (1986-1988), in which Jim Hacker became PM. There was also a 1987 DOS PC [[VideoGame/YesPrimeMinister video game]] in which the player acted as Hacker and tried to make it through a week without tanking in the polls. Both series were created by Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn, who also wrote all the episodes.
