From the BAFTA Award-winning co-creator of Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister, Jonathan Lynn, comes the long-awaited final chapter of British political satire — and it is as cunning, cutting, and catastrophically funny as ever.

Jim Hacker (played by national treasure Griff Rhys Jones) is back — older, but perhaps not wiser, and still utterly baffled by the real world. Hoping for a quiet retirement at the tranquil Hacker College, Oxford, Jim instead finds himself facing the ultimate modern crisis: cancelled by the college committee.

Enter the delightfully devious Sir Humphrey Appleby (played by the acclaimed Clive Francis), who has lost none of his love for bureaucracy, Latin phrases, and well-timed obstruction.

Can Humphrey outmanoeuvre the meddling students, the Fellowship, and reality itself?

Or is it finally time to say, “I’m Sorry, Prime Minister…”?

Brimming with razor-sharp wit, nostalgic brilliance, and more double-speak than a press briefing, this is political comedy at its most timeless — and timely.

Book now for a night of laughter, legacy, and one last glorious round of red tape, I’m Sorry, Prime Minister.

A multiple Olivier Award winner, Griff’s on-stage credits include Oliver!, A Christmas Carol, The Miser, and most recently, An Hour and a Half Late. As a presenter and documentarian, he’s explored topics ranging from Charles Dickens and Rudyard Kipling to mountains, cities, and rivers, and has become renowned for his travel documentaries, traversing Australia and Canada for his most recent travelogues, for ITV and Channel 4.
