Following a series of circumstances involving the Eurosausage, the Home Secretary drink 
driving and the Chancellor's dalliances with a shady lady from Argentina, Minister for 
Administrative Affairs Jim Hacker finds himself elevated to Number 10 Downing Street 
without being quite sure how he got there. But life as Prime Minister is no easier than 
being a Minister; Hacker still finds his every move challenged by the Civil Service as 
represented by his new Cabinet Secretary, the ever-wily and manipulative Sir Humphrey 
Appleby, who is as equally determined that nothing should change as Hacker is that 
changes should be made. Wandering nervously between them is Bernard Wooley, Hacker's 
private secretary, who continues juggling his responsibilities to his political master 
with his loyalties to his Civil Service colleagues
