Highlights
Search for audiovisual fragments of the original version of the series appearing on YouTube. This search was based on the title, Yes, Minister, and the results were filtered, avoiding the inclusion of full episodes, as well as, by mistake, in our sample, clips from the series that succeeded it: Yes, Prime Minister
The information regarding the fragments of the series to be found on YouTube with more than 200,000 views is presented systematically in Table 2 as follows; title (T), season (S) episode (E) to which it belongs, duration of the video (D), number of views of the video (V) and comments associated with each one (C)
