Full Episode Jeeves and Wooster S03 E4:Bertie Takes Gussie's Place At Deverill Hall

[@russellgrenning1317]

Clive Exton (1930 - 2007) wrote all of the scripts for this series (23 episodes, 1990 - 1993). He also wrote 20 scripts for Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989 - 2000) and 10 scripts for Rosemary and Thyme (22 episodes, 2003 - 2007). He had a prolific output both in the UK and during ten years in Hollywood and wrote or contributed to scripts for many movies including 10 Rillington Place, The Awakening and The Bounty. He dramatized works by Jean Cocteau, Daphne du Maurier, Graham Greene, Ruth Rendell and H G Wells among others.

[@Trytocookthis]

I have enjoyed a lot of ruth rendell books and I look forward to finding some dramatizations of them. thanks for that info.

[@mtm00]

A wonderful talent.

[@russellgrenning1317]

@@mtm00 Indeed a prodigious talent!

[@paulademichele1313]

Exton was one of the best writers working from the late 70's through the 90's. My personal feeling is that in the scenario writing too much quality has been lost since around 2000 when Exton, Brian Eastman and John Hawkesworth passed on. It's a real loss.

[@jilllloyd7792]

Really? I much preferred both the previous Madeline and the previous Gussie. They were a bit hopeless but relatively nuanced and still quite sympathetic characters.These two, on the other hand, are are just a pair of cartoon characters, too irritating for words with her vacant looks and ridiculous squeaking, and his breathless whining. I suppose it's down to personal taste, isn't it?

[@kevinmelton7954]

Regarding Jeeves and Wooster-the brilliant writing belongs to the author of the books-P.G. Wodehouse. Most of the dialog is straight out of the books without much editing. The brilliance of this series is being able to bring it believably into life with excellent acting, direction and real scenery and sets.

[@ronniechilds2002]

You made an excellent choice for learning proper English. It doesn't get any more proper than Jeeves's speech. Most of the characters speak very good, educated British English, including Bertie, but he talks too fast to follow half the time.

[@Ana_crusis]

Lynx South I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. I feel it's an attempted put down but I can't quite see how you think it works, Maybe you'd care to explain? Also the 'decade' bit is a tad confusing. Do you mean a decade after Barrymore *said* it? if so, then no, it would be a lot longer than a decade, as he died in 1942.

[@LynxSouth]

No, no attempted put-down at all. I found it interesting that you used that quotation here in Jeeves and Wooster comments and then Stephen Fry used it many years later (and I'd just rewatched that QI episode a few days before). A time-lapsed coincidence. I simply liked it occurring in two Stephen Fry contexts. My apologies for not being clearer.

This isn’t the books.

[@thedandelion157]

I'm afraid I we aren't eye-to-eye here - I think it's "common sense" that the audience takes pleasure in "reconnecting" again with the action AND the actors. That's - btw - the explanation why "King of Queens" (a US series from the 90ies) flopped dramatically when they decided to replace Leah Remini (one of the lead actors) with someone else. It just doesn't work i. e. minimizes the delight substantially - and the viewers don't forgive that easily . PS: Perhaps you may reconsider your tone - I think it's slightly offending.

[@tami22au]

I have to agree with alison webster - actors just aren't always available for new series, that's just the way it is in television. Imagine how difficult it must be for the producers. Also, the TV audience when the original was aired probably didn't think as much of it as we might, because of the longer interval between series, whereas we tend to watch them all one after another (well, I do, anyway...), so we notice changes easily. To be honest, I sometimes like the new actors' interpretations of the characters better than the originals. As long as Fry and Laurie are there, I'm not really fussed about the others. The more confusing thing is how they suddenly returned to England from New York without so much as a "by your leave"...

[@peterfreeman6677]

In the 1990-1993 television series 'Jeeves and Wooster', Madeline Bassett was portrayed by Francesca Folan in series 1, by Diana Blackburn in series 2, and by Elizabeth Morton in series 3 and 4. In the 1973-1981 radio drama series 'What Ho! Jeeves', Madeline was voiced by Aimi MacDonald ('Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves'). Now there, in the lovely Aimi MacDonald, is the perfect Madeline Bassett. If she were suddenly to say "Today I danced on the lawn before breakfast, and then I went round the garden saying good morning to the flowers" I wouldn't be the least bit surprised. Her excitable, squeaky voice has been likened to "a choir of frantic mice".

***** I suppose that's true... but then again, we Mid-Westerners don't have an accent either. We're the only Americans WITHOUT an accent....especially compared to Southern American accents, Boston accents, Bronx accents, etc. It's all a matter of perspective.

[@mydogsioux]

EngLady80 I respectfully disagree. Midwesterners do have an accent. As a born and raised New Yorker who has spent a considerable amount of time in the Midwest, there are a few different "twangs" that I've encountered. I grew up with British parents who made their children speak "the Queens English" & have regular elocution classes. God forbid we should have a NY accent...

[@EngLady80]
