Yes Minister Series 1, Episode 7 - Jobs For The Boys - British Comedy Guide (original) (raw)

The Minister gets into a spot of hot water when discussing a landmark scheme between Government and industry taking place in the Midlands - the Solihull Project - on a radio talk show. It soon becomes apparent that not all is running as it should, and rather distasteful steps must be taken to smooth the issue.
