I'm surprised that there's only one other user review (posted in 2017) for this fine episode, a seminal one in the Yes, Minister canon. It just happens Sydney Lotterby, who directed most of the Yes, Prime Minister episodes, died today.
This episode is the launching pad for Jim Hacker to be more shrewd and mature as Prime Minister, winning more battles against Sir Humphrey compared to when he was a minister in Yes, Minister. This episode is prescient, particularly with the war of the European Commission (Brexit anyone?), which propelled Jim Hacker into Number 10.
