"The Death List" is the tenth episode of the BBC comedy series Yes Minister and was first broadcast 9 March 1981. In this episode, the final Yes Minister is uttered by Sir Humphrey Appleby.

Jim Hacker is in his office when Bernard enters with an urgent matter. He has a copy of Private Eye and requests that the Minister read one of its articles. Sir Humphrey Appleby joins them and Hacker reads aloud. It is reported that while in opposition, he was subjected to covert surveillance, including phone tapping. Furthermore, as Minister for Administrative Affairs, Hacker is now in charge of supplying all the government's bugging equipment, thus making him its "chief bugger". The Minister rounds on Sir Humphrey and asks if the story is true. His Permanent Secretary is nonchalant and tells him not to take it too seriously. However, Hacker believes the report and presses Sir Humphrey. Eventually he is told that he was placed under surveillance before the last general election because the eventual Prime Minister was considering making Hacker the Defence Secretary. It was therefore up to MI5 to ensure that he wasn't a security risk. Hacker is still unhappy and asks Sir Humphrey if he has ever been under surveillance himself. Sir Humphrey replies that he is a civil servant and explains that ministers, by contrast, can't be trusted — present company excepted. Nevertheless, Hacker announces that all future applications for surveillance must be vetted by a Select Committee. He instructs Sir Humphrey to set the wheels in motion and asks Bernard to set up a meeting with Walter Fowler, a journalist. He arranges to have the meeting in a bar, so he can follow the first law of political indiscretion: "Always have a drink before you leak."
