Yes Prime Minister: A Conflict Of Interest (1987) ***
An excellent episode in the series, most memorable for this excellent summary of the British press: "Jim Hacker: I know exactly who reads the papers. The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country; The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country; The Times is read by the people who actually do run the country; The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country; The Financial Times is read by people who own the country; The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country; and The Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is. Sir Humphrey: Oh, and Prime Minister, what about the people who read The Sun? Bernard: Sun readers don't care who runs the country as long as she's got big tits."
