A two-minute Yes Prime Minister scene in which Sir Humphrey persuades Jim Hacker to buy Trident, using tortured logic about nuclear deterrence.
HN mostly quotes it as a joke about the nuclear missile Harrods would sell, and one commenter praises the show as political education.

I love this part as well, when Sir Humphrey is arguing for Trident: [VIDEO] "In the world of nuclear missiles, it is the Savile Row suit, the Rolls Royce Corniche, the Chateau Lafite 1945. It is the nuclear missile Harrods would sell you."
Thought the same - always think of this when I hear Trident - the nuclear Missile Harrods would sell [VIDEO]
Voted up just for the reference to Yes Prime Minister, one of the UK's best contributions to political education and entertainment. On the other hand, there's Sir Humphrey's opinion on Trident. "It's the nuclear deterrent Harrods would sell." [VIDEO]
