The Whitehall Worrier is a British comedy television series which first aired on BBC One in 1967. Revolving around the career of one of the minister's in Harold Wilson's Labour government, the series was gentle in style and closer to a traditional farce than more contemporary satire.[1]

All episodes are now considered to be lost.
