Yes, Minister, Series Two (1981)

Hacker:
The freedom of the British people is worth more than the lives of a few Ministers. Freedom is indivisible. Ministers are expendable. A man in public life must expect to be the target of cranks and fanatics. [Sliding into a Churchill impersonation.] It is a Minister's duty to set his life at naught. He must be able to stand up and say, here I am, do your worst! And not cower in craven terror behind electronic equipment, secret microphones, and all the hideous apparatus of the police state. [He snaps back to his normal self.] Anyway, Humphrey, I don't want to hear any more about it.

Sir Humphrey:
But Minister, you must allow me to say just one more thing on this matter.

Hacker:
Very well, just one, but be brief.

Sir Humphrey:
The Special Branch have found your name on a death list.

Hacker:
That has absolutely no bearing on the situation... What?!
