For those that don't know - in the UK these two actors also both played the role of the prime minister in two very different series. Paul Eddington was the PM in Yes, Prime Minister. A brilliant comedy about British politics. Ian Richardson was PM in the original version of House of Cards.
Both were absolutely perfect in their respective parts.
Wow that gives some context to a core memory for me. Thanks!
Yes, Minister (starting with series 2) is so so so good. It really said what they wanted to say.
Yes, PM, (to me) never had the same oomph, but Eddington and Hawthorne are so damn charming it keeps you around.
That's true but "The Key" (Season 1 Episode 4) of Yes Prime Minister had me choking with laughter. One of the best episodes of British Sitcom ever.
Pardon me, but...
So that's what that one scene in "Blue Harvest" was referencing.
My great uncle's response:
Yeah, in the tube between my legs!
On our trip into downtown Vancouver for our grad party , we had a limo and we were winding down the window the whole trip asking people if they had any gray poupon.
We carried a jar of mustard in the glove box for precisely this purpose. We always hoped someone would ask!
It was one of the gags in that family guy precursor pilot.

Fuck that was hilarious back then
That was way more entertaining than anything family guy has put out in 20 years....
You still can lol
Also you can ask “do you have any mustard?”
And when they say no, you say “well then you’d better ketchup”
Then you do a sick burnout and leave them eating dust
It’s a shame they made both car windows and mustard illegal
