Again, down proverbial lane. I grew up in Hopewell Township , new Jersey between the capital city Trenton and the University town of Princeton. Grief. Now, these episodes of Jeeves and Wooster bring back memories of my childhood. The WW2 years must have prevented commercial development because old farms and estate were all over Hopewell Township, almost a vague copy of this episode. Even then as a child eveything was so beautiful and I knew it would not last. All gone now. The farms are gone. Now, stripmalls and fastfood places. Mansions are gone, motels and covenant stores, discount and garages. A totally different world from 1940's. Bulldozers and backhoes come in and woods, green fields and civilization goes out. Sad. I grieve. "Thanks for the memories."

Just started watching Gosford Park. Great ensemble cast, including Stephen Fry. Scene one, recognized Hall Barn right off the bat. That's Aunt Dahlia's place, Brinkley Court in season 4. Then they all pull in at Wrotham Park, Chuffy Chuffnell's place.

There are a number of old stately homes which get re-used in various British tv shows and films. Highclere Castle for example is used for "Totleigh Towers" in J&W but is also Downton Abbey.

I'm guessing they gave Hugh a trumpet mpc for the trombone to try to make him sound bad....he probably picked trombone right up, as musical as he is.

you often have to be good to be able to play consistently badly

Trombone is a flat and sharp. Making machine .the slide is a temptation to inaccuratecty , and while blowing you twist and flayle around , it's very difficult to tame and impossible , mostly , to master .oh and it's loud , no mistake goes unnoticed ,, it's the hardest phisically to play ,

Personally, I think a trombone played badly is more annoying than a banjolele. Don't you hate when couples get divorced? 4:50-Notice Jeeves is fighting off tears as soon as his back was turned. He probably didn't think that Bertie would tell him to leave. Suddenly, there's a line of prospective employers stretching from Bertie's flat to the Drones Club. 6:58-"Oh have he and Jeeves broken up now? I thought they would be forever." "Yes, Miss Dalia we all last that bet." 7:50-"Please note, no white brass jackets, no monogrammed handkerchiefs, no plus eights, no ugly striped patterns, no purple socks, no stupid hats..." Great Jeeves left Bertie with Lurch "The Valet Serial Killer." He may want to check the news for Bertie's whereabouts in a few days. Clearly, they got a different actor to dub Chuffy's nephew or changed it in post (happens sometimes when young actors voices change or the kid doesn't act well. They do it to keep continuity). When that happens sometimes, it's really distracting. Is there a woman in rhe U.K. or U.S. that Bertie wasn't engaged to? It's a good thing that he's such a gentleman and is bound by that chivalric Feudal code. Otherwise there would be a lot of Bertie Jrs and Little Bettinas running around. 16:18-"Actually, it's Gregory House stuff." 17:35-The couple can't stay parted for too long. "So you got Chuffy on the rebound?" 18:24-"Your pairing inspired me!" No, it's not a coincidence that Jeeves is here. Someone shone the Valet Signal and he had to rush to the Valet Mobile to rescue some Dumb Dandy Dude in Distress. 24:53-"And why don't you put up that clearly unplanned dropped prop picture?" 25:46-Oh that's what that language was? I'm optimistic. 26:40-And awakens the maternal instincts in valets apparently. 27:54-"No wait, I want to see how this ends. Will Punch get beaten up again?" 30:30-"Do you know any other imbecilic friends sir? Wait let me rephrase that, do you know any intelligent friends, sir?" 31:58-"I've seen Game of Thrones!" 36:45-There's that sailing spirit that Jeeves is known for. 42:20-"Like puppets on a string." 43:52-Isn't it nice that Chuffnel Regis' Constabulary comes equipped with cartoon sound effects? It's clear like most great fictional friendships that Jeeves and Bertie are stronger together than they are apart. Bertie needs Jeeves to look after him but I think it's also clear that Jeeves needs Bertie as nuch as he needs him. He needs him to look after and to see him as a human, equal, and friend, not just the faceless help. Jeeves may be Bertie's brain, but Bertie is his heart.
