* The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country * The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country * The Times is read by the people who actually do run the country * The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country * Financial Times is read by people who own the country * The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country * The Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is. (The Sun readers do not care who runs the country as long she's got big tits!)

“Yes, Minister”, and it’s spiritual successor “The Thick of It” are incredible shows.

  And the absolute best part of that clip, on a rewatch, is seeing all three of them trying not to corpse.

  Yes, minister ... every time I feel down, I watch a couple of episodes ... restarts my day.

    That is faintly astonishing. Not the facts, but the effort...

      Some people really care. And one of the groups most apt to care are journalists, who also in this case are likely to have heard this joke before Yes, Minister did it. So when people credit Yes, Minister that's annoying for them. But, to properly correct someone about a fact you know they have wrong you must first determine more exactly what the facts are. Also the "big tits" version of the joke is clearly funnier and it's on the way interesting to watch people embrace this or be uncomfortable with it. I expect with Page 3 in practice consigned to history we'll go back to uncomfortable. By now there are probably a considerable number of Sun readers today who aren't aware the Sun used to feature topless model shots every day with essentially no excuse beyond people like looking at tits.
