1 Crisis at the Summit

1/15/13

Jim Hacker's European Conference shows no sign of solving the financial crisis that is threatening his fragile government. But salvation is at hand: Kumranistan is offering Europe a huge loan as an incentive to purchase their newly discovered oil reserves. What Sir Humphrey does not want Jim to know, however, is that there is a condition: Britain must join the Euro, which is against everything Jim believes in.

2 The Poisoned Chalice

1/22/13

After exposing Humphrey's scheme to get Britain into the Euro, Jim holds a dinner at Chequers to welcome the Kumranistan Foreign Secretary and pave the way for the massive loan that will save Europe. Meanwhile the BBC are planning a major TV programme on the Government's crisis. When the BBC Director General arrives, Jim uses the threat of BBC reform to get himself a chance to appear live at the end of the programme.

3 Gentleman's Agreement

1/29/13

To begin with, it looks as if Jim has defeated Humphrey's scheme to get Britain into the Euro. But Bernard tells Humphrey he has found evidence of some dodgy expenses claims by Jim when he was in opposition.However, when Humphrey tries to use this lever, he discovers that Claire has unearthed some of his own equally dodgy expenses claims. So they come to a gentlemen's agreement, and Britain is saved from the Euro.

4 A Diplomatic Dilemma

2/5/13

Just as it looked as if the huge Kumranistan loan agreement was all done and dusted, Bernard arrives with a ticking time bomb: unless Jim can provide certain unusual sexual arrangements for the night, the deal is off. If Jim agrees and it comes to light, that would be the end of his political career. But if he refuses, the one hope of Europe's economic salvation is doomed. What can he do?

5 Scot Free

2/12/13

While PM Jim is struggling with the problem of how to deal with the unorthodox sexual requirements of the Kumranistan Foreign Minister, another crisis strikes. Meanwhile, the Deputy Prime Minister, Rory McAlister (Robbie Coltrane) is threatening to withdraw his party's support and transfer it to one of his cabinet colleagues. The price of loyalty is massive concessions to Scotland. What is Jim to do? Fortunately, Sir Humphrey is there to tell him.

6 A Tsar is Born

2/19/13

About this show

The hit political satire is back, reinvented for a new generation but losing none of the sharp bite and laugh out loud wit of the highly acclaimed original series as a new cast steps in to lampoon the inner workings of government. Centred around fictional British Prime Minister Jim Hacker, his slippery advisor Sir Humphrey Appleby and principal Private Secretary Bernard Wooley, this contemporary-set series is scripted by the original writing team, Jonathan Lynn and Anthony Jay, and is based on their successful and critically acclaimed play. As the series opens, Jim Hacker's premiership is in danger of falling apart. Heading up a fragile coalition government, he's confronting the greatest economic crisis in a generation, a tempting energy deal from an unusual source, a leadership crisis with his coalition partners, a Scottish independence referendum and the biggest moral dilemma he has ever faced. It's lucky for him that Sir Humphrey is on hand to tell him what to do. Or is it?

very very funny. The best episode must be the last one, "A Tsar is born". I watch this every time when I feel tired and want to chill out. I cant stop laughing and helps me relax. The series is much better than the old one....I certainly recomend this.
