Yes, Minister (1980)

The Compassionate Society - S2-E1

Corrected entry: At the start, Hacker's driver says that the hospital has 500 administrators. Just afterwards, Bernard tells Hacker that the correct figure is 340. Then for the rest of the episode, the figure goes back to 500.

Correction: Wrong. Bernard tells Hacker there are 342 *administrators*, and adds that there are a further 170 *ancillary staff*. That adds up to 512, which rounds down to 500. Whenever anyone refers to the staff for the rest of the episode they simply refer to the *workers*, meaning the total staff.

Correction: The Guardian is well known for typos (being referred to by Private Eye as the Grauniad). This was a joke.
