The newly appointed Minister for Administrative Affairs, the Rt Hon. Jim Hacker MP, finds even the corridors of power congested by the machinations of his Permanent Secretary Sir Humphrey and his Civil Service cohorts.

安迪（尼克·赫尔姆 Nick Helm 饰）对外一向自称是一名自由音乐人，但实际上，年过三十的他每天都过着无所事事的无聊生活。这样的日子久了，在未来中看不到一丝希望的安迪心生倦意，他决定自杀，甚至写好了遗书。就在这个关键时刻，姐姐的一通电话打乱了安迪原定的“计划”，在电话中，姐姐希望安迪能帮她照顾他年仅12岁的小侄子艾罗尔（埃利奥特·斯佩勒-吉洛特 Elliot Speller-Gillott 饰）。
就这样，安迪苍白的生命里突然多出了一个活蹦乱跳古灵精怪的孩子，不仅如此，他还对艾罗尔学校的美丽女教师一见钟情。完全不懂得如何管教孩子的安迪和人小鬼大的艾罗尔，这样一对“奇葩”的组合之间会擦出怎样的火花呢？

The Rt Hon. Jim Hacker MP and Sir Humphrey step out again for the second series of the Whitehall waltz.

Westminster and Whitehall clash again as the Rt Hon. Jim Hacker, the Minister for Administrative Affairs, locks horns with his Permanent Secretary Sir Humphrey Appleby.

If Prime Minister Jim Hacker has a fault (and god knows...), it is that he has ideas. Fortunately his Cabinet Secretary, Sir Humphrey makes sure they never come to fruition. Meanwhile poor Bernard, his Private Secretary, sits uneasily on the fence between them...

Vision, integrity and a ruthless streak are the weapons of the political power. Unfortunately new Prime Minister Jim Hacker has none of these, but he does have the cowardice, desperation and a scheming, pragmatic Cabinet Secretary in Sir Humphrey...

Meet Bernard Black, a foul tempered and eccentric bookshop owner who loves his books but hates his customers. Manny is Bernard's long-suffering assistant and Fran is the owner of the gift shop next door to Black Books.

Unfairly written off as an attempt to replicate the cult hysteria of The Fast Show, Big Train dared to push the boundaries of a genre (the comedy sketch show) which thought it had seen it all. No, not all of it worked, but the same was true of Python, Vic&Bob and all the other groundbreakers. When it did - the manager who distracted his mutinous staff with juggling displays, the Jekyll & Hyde-type scientist, the staring competitions, Mao Tse-Tung as Bryan Ferry, it was painfully, inexplicably funny. Stick with it.
