Quotes 

• Godfrey - TV Producer : All I can say is, if that's what you're going to say, I suggest a very modern suit, hi-tech furniture, high-energy yellow wallpaper, abstract paintings. In fact, everything to disguise the absence of anything new in the actual speech.

• Godfrey - TV Producer : Prime Minister, would you mind not leaning forward like that? It makes you look as though you're selling insurance.

• Godfrey - TV Producer : And you are leaning forward again a bit.

  James Hacker : That's what I do when I want to look sincere.

  Godfrey - TV Producer : It makes you look like someone who wants to look sincere.

• James Hacker : We want to build a bright future for our children. We want to build a peaceful and prosperous Britain, a Britain that can hold her head high in the fellowship of nations. This is rather good. Who wrote this?

  Godfrey - TV Producer : Actually, it's from the last party political by the leader of the opposition.

• Godfrey - TV Producer : Could we just talk about your appearance, remember? What will you be wearing?

  James Hacker : What do you suggest?

  Godfrey - TV Producer : Well, dark suit represents traditional values.

  James Hacker : Fine, dark suit.

  Godfrey - TV Producer : On the other hand, a light suit looks business-like.

  James Hacker : What about a lightish jacket with a darkish waistcoat?

  Godfrey - TV Producer : I think that would look as though you've got an identity problem.
