| abstract | - Yes, Administrator is a long running satirical British e-politics show, that was first transmitted by UBC TV, radio, email and text message in 2003, running up to 2005. It was then succeeded by the equally long running Yes, Bureaucrat, which continues to run up to the present day. All episodes last for half an hour each, except for the annual christmas specials, totalling 198 episodes. Set in the harsh politcal environment of the Internet, the Series revolves around the tormentuous lives of three characters on the Administrative Affairs wikia: James (Jimmy) H4xorz, a registered user often trying to bring unusal and bright ideas to the wikia, (Sir) Humble Pie, an administrator on the Wiki, who blocks most attempts by JH to get anything done by reverting, blocking or deleting anything he considers upsetting to the status quo and Bernardo W00ly, a more amicable administrator who often finds himself torn between obeying his more senior colleague Humble Pie, who has his ear in the stewards' office, and assisting his friend Jimmy. The original series, although relatively popular with the masses, has met little critical success, having received a paltry 8 LAFTA awards. This is most probably due to the fact that it violently attacks in its satire its target audience. It became even less popular when incumbent British Prime Administrator, Tony Blair, announced that it was his favourite program. As a consequence, the producers threatened to melt their LAFTA trophies, declaring "they're not worth the gold they're hand-crafted from!". This thinly veiled publicy stunt brought about the end of the first series. Ironically, this brought about the much more popular Yes, Bureaucrat series. The reason that the second series is more popular is heatedly debated amongst pundits, although it may be down to the naked dancing girls in the opening credits. All though a rampant urban legend, the phrase "Yes, Administrator" does not feature once in any episodes.
