There must be more that hasn't been lost or discarded. Find them. Rescue them. This was a brilliant show with wonderful actors who will always be treasured.

Even when they aren't acting, their facial expressions are marvelous. They say great actors bring a little bit of themselves into the role, and watching this, I believe them.
One of the remarkable things is that Paul Eddington can almost read a script without saying a word, it's all done by expressions, body language , timing.
It is amazing that such immaculately constructed dialogue was the subject of many, if truth be told, and not to put too fine a point on it, attempts at delivering such eloquent performances that, in the fullness of time, have proven to be classics that, if one were pressed, would say that they could not, all things considered, be repeated.
Derek screwed that scene up, because he wanted to have another drink. Too bad, there is no bloopers with The legendary Nigel messing up. But there is alot of times in the show where Nigel smiles
@@lancasterII Yes; there must be many more, but another thing is that not all bloopers are funny. We're just so used to seeing the hilarious cockups that we forget that.
What lancaster said, yes. This is just a few that were used in other programs about bloopers. There's always more stuff recorded than is used including more things gone wrong.
@@YesMinisterMuseum On the other hand the bloopers, if there were any, would probably have been hilarious. Rather surprising that they haven't cropped up anywhere...
@@telemachus53 The only time we get to see bloopers is when they are funny. But there are also many times when there's just a mild mistake that isn't hilarious. Only we never get to see those, so now we think all bloopers are side splittingly funny. (VERY rarely you can find the full studio tape that the final episode was cut from. Usually they don't even exist anymore. There's two blackadder episodes like that.)
British shows aren't like your stupid American ones, they're always filmed in front of a live audience, so there's never been a need to announce it at the beginning in case someone thinks it's canned laughter. What were you saying about facepalm hmmm?
ummm. I'm not, and never have been, American. Yes, they often were (but not always) filmed in front of a studio audience, however canned laughter was often added over the top of studio reaction, as its often not loud enough (they don't mic the audience incase someone says something they don't want on the tape).
yes minister directors talked about having to have the audience in the show to protect them from the bbc from killing the show on grounds of no body liking it

Superb!
I couldn't have put it better myself!
bravo!!!
This correspondence is so long that it had to be put into the out tray by the minister without reading it.
The civil service will take care of it.
Yes very nice but you're not Appleby . . . . . . . unless you can repeat it without this paper in front of you.

Do it NOW.
@@JDFuckinB oh thats unfortunate
@@arandomlanguagenerd1869 On the contrary!
@@JDFuckinB Oh, you're so funny!
They used to discard most outtakes before the 90s because they thought no one wanted to see them.
I like to think this is all there was. Every other take would have been flawless.
I saw one in this video at about 3:59
I'd say the set was just a great place to work for this show

RIP Paul Eddington, Nigel Hawthorne and Derek Fowlds.
Simply the best
Even when they aren't acting, their facial expressions are marvelous. They say great actors bring a little bit of themselves into the role, and watching this, I believe them.
Paul Eddington was a master at those facial expressions.

Bernard swearing at the beginning was funny it was like ''Bernard!'' and then Hacker calling him Bryan LOL.
Nice to see the bloopers.
They stay in character. Pure class.
Nigel's reaction at 0:23 is so sweet

permanent private oh shit =)

Will never be forgotten by all of us that we're fortunate enough to witness their talent X 3. Britain's best comedy ever.
What a brilliant show. It never gets old.
Sir Humph would never bloop.
Indeed- perish the thought. There may however been an occasional misrepresentation of the facts (known or deemed to be known) at the time...
Hahaha Hawthorne’s very first scene 🤣🤣🤣
The Pilot, Party Games, and The Greasy Pole, for anyone interested in chasing the scenes down
I'm Brian and my secretary is Brian too!
+ timothy evans Which is to his credit considering the amount of gobbledegook he had to speak!
Hysterical 😂
I wonder why these have not been in any DVD release
Thanks so much.....so lovely...
:) Wonderful.
Where did you find this? Can we please have some more?
More more more
You won't find Eddington making many mistakes.
Brian?
I want more ! *begging*
Errrrrr.... Brian? :DDD
thanks for share ^ ^
They should have kept these in, theyre funnier!
Very funny, thank you for this. May we have more? It is a shame their all dead now.
@mleedra: BRILLIANT!!!!
@shineydaytildeath It was Bernard.
The show was great and funny, even the bloopers are funny. Too bad that they only did 5 seasons only.....
3?!
It had live audience
Significant is the fact that so many episodes have only 42 seconds of bloopers. The actors were just too professional.
Or that's all thats been made public. Over 35 episodes there has to be more, if it even exists still.

THESE THREE
And the
TOP GEAR TRIO (the real ones)
Should've had face off. Man the commentary would've been verbal masterpiece.
Adding canned laughter to bloopers.... *facepalm*

@@greypilgrim228 Well said Sir. From an American. All the best. Shame this brilliant show is also a documentary for telling current global affairs.
