You can stream Yes, Prime Minister (1986) on Apple TV+ with a subscription.

James Hacker MP the Government's bumbling minister for Administrative Affairs is propelled along the corridors of power to the very pinnacle of politics - No. 10. Could this have possibly have been managed by his trusted Permanent Private Secretary, the formidably political Sir Humphrey Appleby who must move to the “Top Job” in Downing Street to support him, together with his much put upon PPS Bernard Wolley. What could possibly go wrong?

Expect a dizzying whirlwind of linguistic gymnastics and backstabbing bureaucracy where nothing is ever quite as it seems. The comedy thrives on the endless, polite friction between a clueless minister and the calculating civil servant pulling his strings.
