That's a good ananlogy with Yes Minister. And will there be crossovers?
Back in the day it (Yes Minister) used to get props for being accurate as well as funny but I thnk power has moved somewhat away from the mandarins now. I suppose with the advent of the internet it's much harder to convince people that the knowledge base can only be accessed by the appointed experts. Kind of reminds me of a discussion on superplin's journal relating Willow's Slayer spell to movement from centralised to distributed knowlege. Arguably it was the Council's centralised records that Caleb was targetting rather than the Watchers themselves.
