'Yes, Minister' and 'The Thick of it' are satire. They don't show government in a very favourable light.

The thing is though, large chunks of yes minister are true stories. This is less true for the thick of it.

Having worked in a UK government press department I can tell you that The Thick of It is very close to the truth in more cases than most imagine.
