Exceedingly close...so close you rang the "Let's go shopping!" bell on the Numberwang board. So close it would be pedantically petty of me (and thus not something I would do unless it was to my distinct advantage) to say that it wasn't "on being asked to give a yes or no answer", and was on Yes, Prime Minister, and therefore elect not give you a position in cabinet as Chief Minister of Game Shows and Political Satire (I'm not actually authorised to do this, but let's see if we can sneak it past our Queen Zee [cough]not bloody likely[cough]).

By the unholiest of gods from the darkest depths of Dubbo, I so loved Yes, (Prime) Minister.

Cheers,
