I presume that the ABC will be showing the entire series again, right up to
"Yes, Prime Minister".  Jeeze, I sure hope so.  Each script is an
individual masterpiece in its own right.

You can always watch the ABC news at 1900 instead...

Yep, they are almost equally as painful in that regard, although I must
give YM the edge here, due in the main to its wonderfully prosaic (ROFL!)
and supremely intelligent use of the English language.  :)
