Yes Prime Minister, goobledygook at it's finest

Transcript Episode - Smokescreen

(Humphrey enters the room)

Humphrey!

Prime Minister.


(Prime Minister) - Everything all right?
(Humphrey) - Everything is very far from all right.

(Prime Minister) - What's the trouble?
(Humphrey) - Your anti-smoking legislation.

(Prime Minister) - What about it?

(Humphrey) - Notwithstanding the fact that your proposal could encompass certain concomitant benefits of a peripheral relevance, there is a countervailing consideration
of infinitely superior magnitude, involving your personal complicity and corroborative
malfeasance, with the consequence that the taint and stigma of your former associations and diversions could irredeemably and irretrievably invalidate your position and culminate in public revelations and recriminations of a profoundly embarrassing and ultimately indefensible character

@whowasthatmaskedman No one could come close to this brilliant dialogue. Perfectly delivered by Humphrey - Nigel Hawthorne

@Gusman I have both series on DVD and coached my son in the language while he was studying, to get him to master the higher language artform. A skill that has served him well..😷
