Review Roundup: What are the critics saying about I’m Sorry, Prime Minister?

Jonathan Lynn, the BAFTA award-winning co-creator of Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister has transported the bickering bureaucrats, Jim Hacker (Griff Rhys Jones) and Sir Humphrey Appleby (Clive Francis), to the West End stage for their final chapter. But is the live production, currently playing at the Apollo Theatre, a worthy addition to the Minister cannon, or were the critics sorry they saw it?  

What is I’m Sorry, Prime Minister about?

Jim Hacker (Griff Rhys Jones) is back - older, but perhaps not wiser, and still utterly baffled by the real world. Hoping for a quiet retirement at the tranquil Hacker College, Oxford, Jim instead finds himself facing the ultimate modern crisis: cancellation by the college committee.

Enter the delightfully devious Sir Humphrey Appleby (Clive Francis), who has lost none of his love for bureaucracy, Latin phrases, and well-timed obstruction.

Can Humphrey outmanoeuvre the meddling students, the Fellowship, and reality itself?

Or is it finally time to say, "I’m Sorry, Prime Minister..."?
