A MUCH-loved British comedy series is coming to Bath and Cheltenham.

Theatre Royal Bath will host I'm Sorry, Prime Minister, a new comedy written and directed by Jonathan Lynn, from Tuesday, June 2, to Saturday, June 6.

Following its acclaimed run at the Barn, Cheltenham’s Everyman Theatre will also welcome the show from Tuesday, June 23, to Saturday, June 27.

The production marks the final chapter of Yes, Minister, featuring Clive Francis as Sir Humphrey Appleby and Simon Rouse as ex-Prime Minister Jim Hacker.

Princess Donnough also returns in the role of Sophie.

Based on the BAFTA-winning creations of Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn, Yes, Minister first aired in the early 1980s and followed the escapades of cabinet minister Jim Hacker and the savvy Sir Humphrey Appleby.

With Francis reprising his role from the Barn Theatre and the West End, fans can expect the same sharp wit and nostalgia as ever.

Tickets for both venues are now available on their respective websites.
