* Sir Bernard Oppenheimer, 1st Baronet, of Stoke Poges, in the County of Buckingham ( 1921 ), extant

Hacker goes to his department and meets his Permanent Secretary, Sir Humphrey Appleby, and his Principal Private Secretary, Bernard Woolley.

Consequently, another recurring scenario is one where Bernard must " walk the tightrope " –- that is, arbitrate between his two conflicting duties by resorting to elaborate verbosity ( much like Sir Humphrey ) to avoid choosing one over the other.

After the third series, following Sir Humphrey's promotion to Cabinet Secretary, Hacker becomes Prime Minister and requests that Bernard Woolley continue as his Principal Private Secretary.

The one exception to this neutrality occurs very briefly in " The National Education Service ", when Sir Humphrey explains to Bernard how the policy of comprehensive education is retained through successive governments, using different arguments according to which party is in power.
