The feather-brained civil servants get in a flap.

A weekly tribute to all those who work in government offices and to all the others who spend their days there as well.

With Norma Ronald, Roy Dotrice, Diana Olsson, Percy Edwards and John Graham.

Written and produced by Edward Taylor.

'The Men from the Ministry' ran for 14 series between 1962 and 1977. Deryck Guyler replaced Wilfrid Hyde-White from 1966. Sadly many episodes didn't survive in the archive, however the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Transcription Service re-recorded 14 shows in 1980 - never broadcast in the UK, until the arrival of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 Extra.

First broadcast on the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Light Programme in November 1962.
