Confidentiality

[mcgillianaire]

The big story this week is Gordon Brown's alleged bullying of his staff. Though what the aptly named Caroline Pratt was doing releasing this info, then later denying it concerned the PM himself, as head of the National Bullying Helpline, has stirred up questions of confidentiality. As a result, four patrons of the charity resigned in protest. So in tune with my Yes Ministerial mood, it's worth reliving a few delightful clips from the greatest TV show of all time on such confidential matters. The last one must've inspired Donald Rumsfeld!

That "Need to Know Basis" scene is one of my favourite things in British comedy. Nigel Hawthorne and Derrick Fowlds must have needed so many takes to get it right without laughing.

Haha, I agree! You can tell how hard they're holding themselves from it in this take as well.
