Yes, Minister, Series One (1980)

Hacker:
How many people do we have in this department?

Sir Humphrey:
Ummm... well, we're very small...

Hacker:
Two, maybe three thousand?

Sir Humphrey:
About twenty-three thousand to be precise.

Hacker:
TWENTY-THREE THOUSAND! In the department of administrative affairs, twenty-three thousand administrators just to administer the other administrators! We need to do a time-and-motion study, see who we can get rid of.

Sir Humphrey:
Ah, well, we did one of those last year.

Hacker:
And what were the results?

Sir Humphrey:
It turned out that we needed another five hundred people.
