Deborah Norton's role as Prime Minister Hacker's special advisor (SPAD) Dorothy Wainwright did much to lift the already high standards of Yes Prime Minister, with Jim Hacker improving his political jujitsu against Sir Humphrey and the civil service generally. Here it's local government who Jim is p against.
Sydney Lotterby, who also directed all the As Time Goes By episodes, directed all of the Yes Prime Minister episodes and all but one of season one of Yes Minister.
Jonathan Lynn co-created and co-wrote Yes, Minister with Antony Jay. Interestingly, Antony Jay received a knighthood to become Sir Antony Jay but to this day Jonathan Lynn hasn't. Yet Jonathan Lynn went on to direct Clue, Nuns on the Run, My Cousin Vinny, and The Whole Nine Yards so it's strange init that Jonathan has been overlooked for a knighthood.
