Topic: Yes, Prime Minister to be revived

[Simon]

Satirical 1980s comedy show Yes, Prime Minister is to be revived for a new six-part series.

Original writers Jonathan Lynn and Antony Jay will pen the new show, based on their 2010 stage production.

The series, which will be seen on TV channel Gold, will see Prime Minister Jim Hacker back in office leading a coalition government.

Casting of the Prime Minister - originally played by Paul Eddington - has yet to be announced.

Gold said the updated Hacker would tackle the economic crisis, a leadership crisis with his coalition partners and a Scottish independence referendum.

I'll have to watch for that.

I'll watch for it, but won't be able to watch it.  I don't think Gold is on Freeview,

I'll send it to you.

I hadn't realised they commission new material on Gold.  What a strange channel to put it on.
