Some interesting and sadly all-too-real insights into the Church of England and the role of the then Queen in UK politics. This episode was broadcast when the Queen was still in her prime on the throne and when Prime Minister Jim Hacker was in his prime in Number 10 Downing Street.
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.
