Yes Minister tops political comedy poll

Monday 11th December 2006, 10:12am

Yes Minister is the greatest political comedy of all time, according to a poll of politicians for the 30 Greatest Political Comedies, which airs on More 4 this evening.

Somewhat bizarrely, Little Britain appears at number six, even though the show's only political content is courtesy of David Walliams’s Prime Ministerial aide Sebastian, but there is no room for the critically acclaimed The Thick Of It.

The top 10 is as follows:
  1. Yes Minister
  2. Spitting Image
  3. Bremner, Bird and Fortune
  4. Drop the Dead Donkey
  5. Have I Got News For You
  6. Little Britain
  7. That Was The Week That Was
  8. The New Statesman
  9. Not the Nine O'Clock News
  10. Dead Ringers
