Jim Hacker thought he had it made with a peaceful retirement. He settled into academia as the master of Hacker College, Oxford. That was, until a modern scandal threatens to upend everything he has built for himself. When a committee moves forward to usurp his position, Hacker finds himself running back to the only person ruthless enough to help. Book I’m Sorry, Prime Minister tickets on London Theatre.
Sir Humphrey Appleby is still obstructive and elegant as ever, and deeply committed to the fine art of bureaucratic delay. He also happens to be the only person Hacker can rely on in his time of need. As the duo reunites, they must attempt to save Hacker’s position in a political landscape that is quite different from the one they once waded through.
