Herbert Attwell Yes Minister Television 1980–1984 The unnamed and unseen prime minister throughout the original series, he is mentioned by name only in companion books for the series. (His name would appear to be a portmanteau of three real prime ministers: Herbert H. Asquith, Clement Attlee and Arthur Wellesley.) Attwell appointed Jim Hacker as minister for administrative affairs upon becoming prime minister in "Open Government", principally as an act of revenge against Hacker for managing his rival's leadership campaign. In "Party Games", he unexpectedly retired after his home secretary and deputy was forced to resign following a spectacular drink-driving incident; Hacker surmised that Attwell held on to the premiership only to deny it to his then likely successor. Spending his retirement writing his memoirs, Attwell's sudden death in the Yes, Prime Minister episode "A Diplomatic Incident" saw his state funeral serve as an unofficial summit, during which Hacker discussed the terms of joint British-French management of the Channel Tunnel with the French president.
Alan B'Stard The New Statesman Television 1992 Rik Mayall In the final episode "The Irresistible Rise of Alan B'Stard", a special general election is called over British membership of the European Economic Community. Alan B'Stard, as leader of the Eurosceptic New Patriotic Party, became an extra-parliamentary prime minister, having not contested a seat and having threatened to use his party's mandate to become a dictatorial Lord Protector (after his deputy leader Paddy O'Rourke suggested that he rather than B'Stard would become prime minister as a result).

Jack Barker The Queen and I Novel 1992 In this novel written by Sue Townsend, the leader of the People's Republican Party, Barker won the 1992 election through subliminal messaging organised by the television technicians' union. Upon becoming prime minister, Barker abolished the monarchy and forced the Royal Family to live on the Hellebore Close council estate. However, due to fulfilling expensive campaign promises, such as raising pensions and renewing schools, Barker announced that Britain was to become part of Japan (with himself as Governor General) in exchange for the suspension of debt repayments, with Prince Edward having to marry the Emperor's daughter as part of the agreement. At the novel's conclusion, the story is revealed to have been a nightmare, with the Conservatives under John Major winning re-election (as in real-life).
