[@toolittletoolate3917]

Long ago, when I was a young lad at university, I discovered some of Wodehouse’s works in the library. I knew of Bertie Wooster and Jeeves, but had never actually read any of the stories. I plucked one of the volumes from the shelf and sat on one of the settees in the library lobby to sample it. Thirty minutes later, I had quite literally fallen off the settee - twice - from laughing, and I was asked to check the book out and read it elsewhere because I was creating a nuisance for other library users.

[@kapitankapital6580]

this is the only show where I can binge watch it and still enjoy listening all the way through the intro and outro every time.

[@martinpaveymusic309]

Good point!

[@sapa8246]

[@dwaipayanroychowdhury7035]

I couldn't agree more !

[@risenshine2783]

Patrick Ellis me too, I love the music and animation and have even slowed ot down on youtube so I can see how the images change, it is a work of art! A perfect match for the actual episodes of course!

[@brenpresell]

Patrick my question is unrelated to the video here. I was wondering which country does the flag in your profile image represent?

[@alistairhann2094]

These adaptations and the books are my happy place. Pure pleasure.

[@barcode8459]

Just when you think that there are only so many ways that one can misinterpret the name "Jeeves", the subtitles pull another fresh one out of the kitchen like a shambolic waiter who can never get the order right. 1:04 - "The time, Bees." 1:45 - "Actually more that cheap chime, Jeans." 3:12 - "You don't disapprove, Jeez?" 12:52 - "That'll be all, Jesus." 13:11 - "Your Hardman, James." 43:37 - "Well, T's..." 45:11 - "Thank you, Chief." 47:55 - "Jeet!" 48:33 - "This is very sad, Cheese."

Spode - the only side character they couldn't recast :) He's too iconic.

[@robalexander8065]

Far too many recasts.

[@marilynpenner9196]

[@universallovepeaceharmony2258]

Delightful morality comedy going on with Jeeves in this episode. He informs Bertie that he will not risk his freedom safe-cracking but then shows no compunction in whacking the explosives expert Bobby Oates . Genius television from start to finish. The books are brilliant but this is one of the few cases where the show outdoes the novels. In these odd 21st century times i find am incorporating elements of Jeeves and Wooster into my persona to feel the best of British🧐😞🤗

[@fansinatra]

Madeleine: “Augustus isn’t a man of action like you.” Bertie: blush blush... Madeleine: “He is a man of intellect.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Great timing and what a punch!

[@bas8116]

really spode is so perfectly portrayed. A pompous hot headed toad like Mussolini the one moment and all friendly and nervously driveling the next xD "oh you say such amusing things wooster" haha cracks me up every time. Love's how Wooster plays of on him to. "it isnt all a bed of roses trying to be a dictator wooster" "why don't you give it up then" "I can't well how can I people expect it of me, my mother..." Reminds me of Kevin Spacey somehow.

[@shugaroony]

I actually cheered out loud when I saw Spode again - I'm 42! Wonderful stuff.

The women are top notch in bringing the mores of this era to life!

[@2011littlejohn1]

This is made even funnier because certain things are presented seriously - for example the violin playing woman was pretty good and the keyboard player. Which meant the joke was how the crowd reacted rather than making the playing farcically bad.

02:34 , that is the fanciest insult I have ever heard 🤣Also I love Madeleine Bathett 's und Gutthie's lithp : very upper clath

[@thunder8bunny]

well well, in comparison to Florence, Madeline here appears as being the sweet, charming, reasonable lady. I do recall Florence's character being the most awful out of the lot of women Bertie has been involved with - even surpassing that of Honoria. In fact, not even Honoria treated Bertie with such a demeaning attitude.

[@wolfganghendery8298]

It takes a certain man to love a dominatrix such as Florence. Some men however find a scary domineering woman as her incredibly endearing, like a terrifying goddess such as Athena or Ishtar.

[@thunder8bunny]

Highclere has been a popular filming location for a LOT of TV shows. It was also used in some Miss Marple TV episodes. You see the famous main staircase in "4:50 from Paddington".

Despite Googles information, this and other episodes were shot in and around "Highclere" and not albeit fine homes,not a patch on the castle.

[@carolleenkelmann4751]

Now, just who came first, the comedy character of "Mr. Bean" or Hugh Lauri's "Wooster" interpretations? P. G. Woodhouse is such a delight and so hilariously funny at times. So good for the soul

[@muuanmies7372]

the contrast between "today's" Drones and all these lords is becoming pretty obvious , if it wasn't so earlier. meaning that they are the future version of Biffys, Bingos and what not. bertie has fine taste indeed jeeves won't destroy a manuscript but will thump a police officer?

[@InceyWincey]

Of course he wouldn’t destroy the manuscript, he wanted it published.

[@Sunshine-nq6wv]

I really enjoyed this series. There is only one issue that I have and that's the actor's playing some of the recurring character's, changed. Madeleine, Fink Nottle, Steph, Florence etc. and some not for the better. Other than that, top notch stories and plenty of humour!

[@jackcole3146]

Elizabeth Morton's Madeleine is perfect, the best by far.

[@jackolas2007]

It's funny, the usual actress for Styffy came back for a later episode, this is the only time she played her. I don't mind either really.

[@AdzSONLINE]

Jeeves' facial expressions near the start reminds me of Gromit. Inspiration maybe?

[@thunder8bunny]

I realised they changed the dog too - it was a black highland terrier previously and now it's white.

[@lorenzomagazzeni5425]

[@dtedfontenot]

The women and the girls in the Wooster-Jeeves canon tend to be real ball-busters. They own the guys. They rule. And to think in other works, particularly the earlier pre-farce stuff, Wodehouse created some admirable, resilient, women protagonists full of character.

[@dtedfontenot]

Yes, they do serve their purpose. And. even compared to the women in his early work, they are admirable in a way. They are tough. They know what they want, and they aim to get it.

Good lord! I never realized what calculating, evil, manipulative, bitchy shrews the women in Wodehouse's works were, until I saw this series!

[@lackadaisicale492]

Yes he rather was one of the preeminent realists of his day. It is this timeless quality that allows his work to stand out even now.

[@RufusTheBaptist]

Vikram Radhakrishnan Jeeves is the most calculating and manipulative character in the series, but I suppose that's different, isn't it? How dare that evil woman want to marry the man she's in love with? Manipulation should only be used for noble ends, like convincing your master to get rid of a hat you don't like.

[@SaintSwithinsDay]

It is part of the comic conceit of Wodehouse's novels that upper-class men are all gormless dullards who are consequently open to manipulation by scheming or imperious women (aunts, wives, fiancees, etc.) and by their social inferiors. A comic inversion of social realities, if you like.

[@deecee796]

[@mayflowerlash11]

I do not know the name of this piece but, it sounds remarkably similar to the theme of "Around The World In Eighty Days", the David Niven version. And I would also like to know its title and who composed it. I dont think it is called Destiny as the book of music on the stand is quite thick and appears to have many scores in it. I'm also interested in the piece played on the piano immediately before the violin piece. It is familiar. Pity it's not in the credits. I bet Stephen Fry or Hugh Laurie could identify them. Any J & W fans who know. Cheers
