Jim Hacker (Griff Rhys Jones - West End) is back - older, but perhaps not wiser, and still utterly baffled by the real world. Hoping for a quiet retirement at the tranquil Hacker College, Oxford, Jim instead finds himself facing the ultimate modern crisis: cancelled by the college committee.

Enter the delightfully devious Sir Humphrey Appleby (Clive Francis - West End), who has lost none of his love for bureaucracy, Latin phrases, and well-timed obstruction.

The UK tour cast is tbc.
