Oh dear! They're remaking 'Yes Prime Minister'

It was pretty funny if you were from the UK too.
Henry Minute Girl: (staring) "Why do you need an icy cucumber?" “I want to report a fraud. The government is lying to us all.” I wouldn't let CG touch my Abacus! When you're wrestling a gorilla, you don't stop when you're tired, you stop when the gorilla is. Cogito ergo thumb - Sucking my thumb helps me to think.
I guess so. And you guys certainly get even more of the subtle points that we non-native speakers miss out on. It was definitely this subtle humor that made it so much more attractive than many of today's comedies. If they are ever going to do a remake I hope they can transport that fine kind of humor.

I like the Alan Davies as Woolley and I could see Atkinson as Appleby. Not sure about St. Stephen though.

Think Lord Melchett.

I was. Too assertive. Not a Hacker trait IMO.

I do hope they don't totally naus it up[^]. Any preferences for the cast?

It should keep the subtlety. The original writers are going to be writing it.

Definitely Fry as Sir Humphrey, but I would choose David Mitchell for the role of Bernard. Hugh Bonneville or Richard E Grant for the role of Hacker.

I think Hugh Laurie would be good as Hacker. As someone else has said David Mitchell as Woolley. His actual pedanticism would be a great match for that of Bernard.
