  Sir Humphrey: Uhm...now wouldn't that mean putting the cameraman in the pulpit?
  Jim Hacker: Will that be all right?

  Jim Hacker: Well, so where will he preach from?
  Sir Humphrey: I think he'll need to be in the pulpit.
  Jim Hacker: Where will my camera be?
  Sir Humphrey: Well, there is always the High Altar, but I think the Arch Bishop may need that as well.
  Jim Hacker: Who does he think he is?
  Sir Humphrey: Well, he probably thinks it is a religious ceremony. Nobody has told him it is a Party Political. [edit]
