[Publius]

In the first regular episode of "Yes, Prime Minister" nearly 20 years ago, Prime Minister Hacker is told that the British sausage, the "banger", must now be called the "cylindrical filled offal tube" by a bureaucrat in Brussels.

The hilarious climax was a verbal brawl between Hacker and a French bureaucrat from Brussels.

Hacker: "And you have a man in one room paying farmers to grow one commodity, and another man in the same room paying farmers to destroy the same commodity."

Bureaucrat: "But you are wrong! The two men are not even on the same floor."
