Jeeves & Wooster, Series 3
adapted by Clive Exton; dir. Ferdinand Fairfax (ITV, 1992)
Three episodes set in New York, three in England. Bertie is equally in the soup in both environments, being put upon by uninvited guests, overbearing aunts, gormless chums and unwanted love interests, to an extent that even Jeeves cannot always save him.
Thank You, Jeeves
by P. G. Wodehouse (Herbert Jenkins, 1934)
audiobook read by Jonathan Cecil (Bolinda, 2014)
The usual hijinks, predictable in outline but spontaneous and delightful in the detail. While Jeeves may have lodged more firmly in the public consciousness than has Bertie, the latter presents as the more quintessentially Wodehousian character, frothing over with witter and wit.
Jeeves & Wooster, Series One
adapted by Clive Exton, dir. Robert Young (ITV, 1990)
A frivolous bit of fun, and well-cast (in the over-the-top support roles as well as Fry & Laurie, who are about as Jeeves-ish & Wooster-like as one could imagine). Ultimately, however, there’s only so much that can be done without Wodehouse’s prose.
