Series 1, Episode 6 – A Tsar Is Born
Jim’s efforts to appease the Kumranistan Foreign Secretary have failed. But then, Sir Humphrey has a plan.
Sir Humphrey’s Guide to Solving Problems
British comedy at its peak smugness.
In this razor-sharp scene from Yes, Prime Minister (2013), episode “A Tsar is Born,”
The ever-unflappable Sir Humphrey Appleby delivers a bureaucratic masterclass in turning climate panic into political capital.
“I have returned with the answer to all your problems”
The pitch? Don’t solve real problems — they’re messy, complicated, and full of accountability.
Instead, chase an imaginary one that everyone thinks is real. #climatechange becomes the perfect vehicle: vague enough to spin, urgent enough to fear, and profitable enough to fund a dozen international conferences… and a few dozen wind farms.
No need for actual results. Just #taxes , treaties, targets, and a heroic speech or two. If anyone asks in 50 years why nothing changed, just blame the computer models. Or the French.
This isn’t environmentalism — it’s political theatre in eco-friendly wrapping. A delicious slice of satire that reminds us: when in doubt, announce a bold plan… to do absolutely nothing.
The driest wit. The sharpest suits. The smuggest strategy.
