《是,首相》 / Yes, Prime Minister
《是,首相》 / Yes, Prime Minister is the sequel to 《是,大臣》 / Yes Minister discussed in 118.是,大臣:辛辣讽刺永不过时. The episode names it as part of the same satire system, extending the conflict from a departmental minister’s office into the prime-ministerial level.
In the source, the sequel matters less as a separate plot summary than as evidence that the same administrative logic survives promotion. Hacker can move upward, but Humphrey, Arnold, and the permanent official layer still define what information reaches elected power and how risky action is contained.
