The Times is read by the people who run the country. The Daily Mirror is read by the people who think they run the country. The Guardian is read by the people who think they ought to run the country. The Morning Star is read by the people who think the country should be run by another country. The Independent is read by people who don't know who runs the country but are sure they're doing it wrong. The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country. The Financial Times is read by the people who own the country. The Daily Express is read by the people who think the country should be run as it used to be run. And the Sun's (and the Daily Star's, and the Daily Sport's) readers don't care who runs the country providing she's got big (ahem)s."

Grar. WHY DO THEY NEVER PLAY YES MINISTER HERE?!!11

We used to watch it years ago on PBS (back when we got two and a half channels. Yes, a half). One time, the sound went out in the middle, and it was nearly just as funny without the sound as with it.
