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.
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.
Very Good, Jeeves
by P.G. Wodehouse (Doubleday, Doran, 1930)
audiobook read by Jonathan Cecil (Blackstone, 2011)
Wodehouse give the impression he could dash off a Jeeves & Wooster story between breakfast and elevenses, and would happily do so should ever he feel himself wanting for joie de vivre. Jonathan Cecil gives perfect voice to the frivolous restorative fizz.
