A political backhander

Win a Yes Minister box set

The BBC has today released the complete Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister on a seven-disc box set.

The set – which runs for about 19 hours, back-to-back, contains all three five series of the classic political satire, three with Paul Eddington’s Jim Hacker as a Minister, and two of him in No 10

Written by former Whitehall insiders Jonathan Lynn and Antony Jay, and first screened in 1980, Yes Minister became the first programme to win the Bafta for Best Comedy Series three years in succession.

Now we have a copy of this box set, worth £49.99, to give away.

To stand a chance of winning, answer the following question by October 30, when we will randomly select winners from all answers received. Bulk entrants from mailing services will be disqualified.

Good luck!
