[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 168559, member: 23"] [I]Yes Minister [/I]has come to an end here. I've had (and still have) little to say about the series, but that's not me casting aspersions. Quite the opposite. It's a very well-written and acted series and if anything became more so as the episodes went by. It remained as wordy as ever, and as intelligent. I still feel this is a series that - unlike many other sitcoms - actually demands the viewer to pay attention. And I don't have a 100% success rate in this. There were times when I lost concentration or drifted a little and then it all started making a whole lot less sense. But one thing this didn't affect was my enjoyment. Having this series on has been like being in the company of a favourite aunt or uncle for a bit. It's so comforting that the content of the conversation isn't as important as the fact that you're spending time together. The series ending was rather uneventful and in the case of this series I was rather surprised. Fortunately, [I]Party Games [/I]- the seasonal special that aired a full two years after the series proper had ended - made up for this by showing Jim falling into being Prime Minister. It's also worth noting that by coincidence I'd been watching this evening's debate between Tory leadership hopefuls immediately before watching [I]Party Games. [/I]And the transition was unnervingly seamless. All the games and oneupmanship. And numerous references to the EEC. It's as topical as ever. [/QUOTE]
