Yes Minister works best for very advanced learners who can follow fast and complex English. The complexity of the plot makes listening more challenging because learners also need to keep track of what is happening. Some scenes use denser language, so learners may need to pay close attention to word choice and phrasing. Also, jokes, quick reactions and casual exchanges are a regular part of the dialogue. At an average of around 123 words per minute, the dialogue is generally manageable, though some exchanges require more attention. For learners around C1/C2, this can be a practical choice for building confidence with more complex narratives.
