Beginners' Guide: The Yes Minister Alphabet

A minister

Begins his

Career in the

Department of Administrative Affairs.

Enter: the Civil Service.

Forget the manifesto, Minister!

Get hold of a baby and

Hold it up to the cameras

Instead.

Just leave the work to

Kingmaker Sir Humphrey,

Like a runner passing the baton.

Minister, Kingmakers can't run...

No, you see, they have these long robes and in the original Latin...

Okay Bernard,

Please sit down.

Quite so, Minister,

Remarks

Sir Humphrey,

The Independent Committee has deliberated on the defense and feel that

Unauthorised and independently-worked speeches are unneccesary, indefensible and

Veering towards the unwelcome, making an authorised

White Paper resolution neccesary and welcome.

Xplain what on earth you mean that, Humphrey!

Yes Minister, I simply mean:

Zip it.

An alien in a

Blue box

Cruises through time and space.

Daleks! Oh no! His oldest

Enemies!

Fight he must! And of course he wins.

Intelligent, old, and

Just a bit mad, but

Kind- very kind.

Leaving his home to fight

Monsters with a screwdriver (it’s sonic).

Never wanting to interfere but

Olways interfering.

Presently, he looks

Quite young. It’s his party trick-

Regeneration. When he’s

Sick and going to die he

Takes another form:

Unreal?

Very.

Xcellent actor, xcellent Doctor

You should watch him, you

Zebra eating monkey.
