Solid comedy
This series reminds one of "Yes, Minister": The skeptical approach to British politics, the fine and consistently humorous script, a low budget, and excellent acting and directing. This is a keeper, another of those splendid series featuring Penelope Keith. If "No Job For a Lady" isn't as good as "The Norman Conquests," well, what is? In short, it's well worth the price.
Sarcastic jollies from political lips - Brit MPs
A comic look at the inside workings of the House of Commons. Jean Price MP (Penelope Keith- `To the Manor Born') takes on the men's world and last-decade 20th century issues. Many are largely yet unsettled in the real political world; on both sides of the Atlantic. Political and intellectual humor well written by Alex Shearer using much sarcasm and one-liners. Delightful for political interest viewers who can also laugh at themselves. No issue left without mud tossing.
MP Labour Whip (Garfield Morgan) and MP Ken (Paul Young), an office mate, are both funny in all 18 episodes. Antagonist MP Eagan (George Baker- "Ruth Rendell Mysteries") is a Tory pain in the `baps' for 12 episodes, then replaced by MP Monkton (Michael Cochrane.) Cochrane turns from this 1992 Tory MP bad guy to a Vicar in "Downton Abbey" two decades later.
SDH SUBTITLES for all episodes.

Always enjoy watching the perfomances of Penelope Keith and this is one of her best performances.
Following this political farce is great..
