Rewatching Yes, Minister and thinking about Sir Humphrey in "The Whiskey Priest". Upon being told that, if he doesn't care about morality in government, he's going to hell, the man grins. When asked about whether the Civil Service should believe in the government's policies, Sir Humphrey lectures us about how that would mean holding several contradictory views whose net effect would be to drive any man mad. And for all his amoral cynicism, he is sort of trying to help Hacker out: telling the PM what he knows would at best make Hacker a martyr for embarrassing the government (and leave him unable to help anyway) and at worst bring down the whole cabinet, PM included. An interesting episode, all around.

Yes Minister (1980) The Right to Know

Once again, the Minister, Jim Hacker and the permanent Secretary, Sir Humphrey Appleby, clash over the Minister's role in running the Department.The Minister instructs his senior civil servant to keep nothing from him and he is promptly flooded with everything under the sun. For Sir Humphrey, the Minister's meeting with constituents concerned about saving a local den of badgers is exactly the kind of work he should be doing. When he learns that Hacker's daughter will stage a nude protest over her father's decision on the badgers, Appleby must come to the rescue.

This is by far the weirdest crew that Chrissy has ever worked with.

The hitter and the grifter are distracted working through some unresolved sexual tension, their mastermind appears to have secrets of her own, and the forger is proving to be an unnecessary distraction.

Chrissy may be the best thief in the world but she’s not sure she’s ready for this heist.

Chapters 1-3 found here, currently ongoing.

“  i tried to give up before.  but the universe just didn’t let me.  ” - Q to Jim

"Isn't that interesting." a single corner of Jim's mouth smiled as his head tilted to the side, "Have you come to dear old Jim to help you with that?" he purred as ideas of life and death and of the humanity's lie of a free will that is absolutely a will but definitely not free crossed his mind a million miles a minute. Outwardly he sighed, his smile gone from his face.

The Challenge was a series III episode of Yes Minister (1982), in which Jim Hacker’s Department of Administrative Affairs assumes general oversight of local authorities. As Ludovic Kennedy (playing himself as BBC interviewer) points out, Hacker is now ‘Mr Townhall as well as Mr Whitehall’.

Echoing the Thatcher government’s zeal to reform the local government sector, Hacker is determined to make councils more efficient and to curb their extravagance. The Cabinet Secretary and Sir Humphrey are not so keen, worried that any reforms, such as direct financial accountability for the success or failure of council projects, could be extended to the civil service as a whole.

To deflect his attention, Jim Hacker is urged to tackle the largely ridiculed and tricky business of civil defence, in particular the provision of public fall-out shelters by local authorities, and is sent to confront the leader of the London Borough of Thames Marsh, Ben Stanley, over their anti-nuclear activism and budget blowouts. Stanley was reportedly based on Ken Livingstone, leader of the ill-fated Greater London Council.

There are a couple of interesting cameos, aside from Ludovic Kennedy, and Moray Watson as a BBC controller. Ian Lavender (Private Pike from Dad’s Army) plays Dr Cartwright, a departmental economics boffin doomed to spend his entire career as a middling undersecretary. “I fear I shall rise no higher,” he explained sadly to Jim Hacker, “Alas, I’m an expert.”

Ben Stanley, the unilateralist leader of Thames Marsh Council is played by Doug Fisher (Man About the House), and is unimpressed by Cartwright’s suggestions on how to save ratepayers' money, which include closing the feminist drama centre, abandoning plans for a leisure centre featuring an artificial ski slope and jacuzzi, closing the gay bereavement centre, selling the Mayor’s second Daimler, and cancelling a councillors’ fact-finding junket to the Caribbean.

The episode lampoons the council’s hypocrisy in taking an anti-nuclear stance while providing fall-out shelter space solely for the leader and some senior councillors. Paul Eddington himself (Jim Hacker) was a Quaker pacifist, and in a later interview recalled that he was very uncomfortable with the way the writers (Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn) had ridiculed the anti-nuclear issue and peace activism, and that they had allowed their own political bias to influence the story. Eddington objected, and some moderating changes were made to the final script.

Also important to me that y’all know that this Au is happening simultaneously with a few other aus, which includes:

A) my hacker au, where a human finds out all they can about any potential xenophobic groups on earth and puts a stop to it however they can (one of the groups they’ve infiltrated was an extreme logic group, turns out while the Vulcans in that group are committing crimes and dedicated even more so to logic, they aren’t a logic extremist group, there’s a difference, their crimes aren’t xenophobic)

(Unfortunately they’ve caught the attention of the leader of that group and now have a terrifyingly logical Vulcan after them (to court them, but the human doesn’t know that) on every one of their assignments, that they’re barely managing to dodge)

This connects to the food battle Au as the human in this one also attends starfleet academy at the same time (mostly as a cover tho, they’re mostly into vigilante hacker stuff)

And B) my crafts club au, where starfleet academy has a club that involves different species having different handmade crafts that they do together, unlike the spy au there’s almost no tension or drama in this one (there is non-life threatening personal drama)

Edit: Also what connects them all is Pike (who is very much alive) and is the guidance counselor of all 3 main humans ocs, feels like he jinxed himself for thinking things were going to be quiet after Jim left to be captain
