Concept and creative process
Titles for ‘Yes, Prime Minister’, the sitcom sequel to 'Yes Minister', focusing on Jim Hacker's elevation to 10 Downing Street and Sir Humphrey having to steer around even bigger crises. Gerald Scarfe created new titles, drawing directly under the camera and filming two frames of every pen or brush mark needed to complete the distinctive caricatures of the main protagonists. A different subtitle card was shot for each episode in the series. The title music, composed by Ronnie Hazlehurst and based on the chimes of Big Ben, was the same as that used in ‘Yes Minister’.
