I absolutely love this scene :D Just for those who haven't had the fortune of watching this classic.


'The Times' is read by the people who run the country. '

The Daily Mirror' is read by the people who think they run the country.

'The Guardian' is read by the people who think they ought to run the country.

'The Independent' is read by people who don't know who runs the country but are sure they're doing it wrong.

'The Daily Mail' is read by the wives of the people who run the country.

'The Financial Times' is read by the people who own the country.

'The Daily Express' is read by the people who think the country ought to be run as it used to be run.

'The Daily Telegraph' is read by the people who still think it is their country.

And 'The Sun's readers don't care who runs the country providing she has big tits.

I used to play that game on the Amstrad 1640 with the 8087 co-processor... shite, you're not refering to that are you ? g33kness shines again.

Erm, unfortunately, I know not of these quotes as I didn't see this show.

Yeah I think I've seen this version before, but it's not quite right. This is the actual quote:

HACKER: "Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers.
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 people who actually do run the country;
The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country;
The 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;
And the Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is."

HUMPHREY: "Prime Minister, what about the people who read The Sun?"

BERNARD: "Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits."

I'm not talking about a video game; I'm talking about a classic TV series :)
