Jim Hacker: Don't tell me about the press. 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 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: Prime Minister, what about the people who read the Sun?
Bernard Woolley: Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits.
É o melhor resumo do público alvo dos jornais britânicos que existe...

Sir Humphrey: [in a very disturbed and worried voice after Sir Arnold has suggested reducing the size of the civil service to reduce the amount of civil service pay so a pay rise can be snuck through] Real reductions in the size of the service?! It'd be the end of civilization as we know it!
Sir Arnold: Appalling the next thing you'd have is politicians removing civil service on the grounds of incompetence, that would be the thin end of the wedge... We'd lose dozens of our chaps!
Jim Hacker: Humphrey, the civil service is an advanced case of galloping bureaucracy!
Sir Humphrey: Oh no minister... Certainly not galloping; a gentle canter at the most.
