Considering Wooster's empty-brain-induced-by-hangover condition in which Jeeves first met Wooster, I imagine Jeeves figures it's only a matter of time before Wooster looses all ability to have another thought, even with a double or triple shot of Jeeves' hangover restorative that benefitted Wooster to no end, soon after they first met. Jeeves must be constantly relived when thoughts continue to manage to form in Wooster's head. 😂
Having read all of Wodehouse that I could lay hands on (and if you haven't, by all means go and do so now), I can honestly say that this series does full justice to the word, the spirit, and the tone of the Jeeves and Wooster stories. Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie are perfectly cast, the sets, costumes, and music are flawless, and the dry humor is as refreshing as a dash of tonic water after the cloying syrupy grape soda of current "comedy".
I was reading a Wodehouse novel at one point and thought to myself, "He does such wonderful dialogue. Such a shame they never made it into a television program. Stephen Fry would make an excellent Jeeves, and Hugh Laurie a fantastic Bertie." I was utterly delighted to discover this series existed.
I am also a huge fan of PG Wodehouse having first read the various Jeeves and Wooster books more than 40 years ago and like you, I think this series really hits the spot. Fry and Laurie are amongst the most perfectly cast actors I've seen in anything.
Surely not? Being a Plum fan, if you are an autocrat, it will be one of those jolly, breezy autocrats whom it is a pleasure to know. (Pinched from a description of Aunt Dahlia)
In a priceless moment in one episode, Jeeve's supreme aplomb slips away upon seeing the florid tie being worn by one of Bertie's friends. We find him in a psychologically unraveled state, hiding in the kitchen, the sight of the tie having necessitated his escape thither, to, as it were, that sanctuary.
Father Brown also comes close. Even the author of the books enjoyed the televised take on very well. The thing that does reacquire is that the UK tv world. Has a good talent at recreating 1950's like tv series.
Love the oh-so subtle put-downs Jeeves manages; but the facial expressions and body-language Fry puts into the character are even better! Case-in-point, the discussion of Bertie's white dinner jacket. (10:34) When Bertie says: "I will have you know I bought this in Cannes!", Jeeves actually takes a step backward in horror! "And wore it, sir?!" hahahahaha God these two were great in these roles!!!
+Medic Webber And the look on Jeeves face when he realizes Wooster out-witted him with said jacket. (21:40) Look up the definition of "utterly perturbed" and you'll see Jeeves making that face!! Fantastic!!
Jeeves: "Indeed, Sir." Wooster: "Jeeves, I'm sure that nothing is further from your mind...but you know you have a way of saying 'indeed, Sir' which gives the impression that it's only a feudal sense of what's fitting which prevents you from substituting the words 'Says you.'" Jeeves: "I am distressed to hear this, Sir." Wooster: "Well, so you should be, Jeeves." ........."Indeed, Sir."
When Bertie told his aunt (after she openly admited that's it was Jeeves' intervention she sought) that HE was the man for the job, and then I saw the face she made (as if; "oh, of course, YOU are in charge of Jeeves, and I must let you believe it"), I remembered how "layered" these stories are... I don't remember who signed Jeeves' paychecks, and I don't think Bertie Wooster ever knew either... I always got the feeling that Jeeves was a bit of a "private eye" for the larger family, and that he actually worked for the aunts, rather than Bertie himself.
So many bitingly funny lines and subtle gags. Not to mention the hypnotically well-done period setting, and perfect casting. I'm so glad I discovered this series years after reading the books.
Gotta say, I love the Drone Club members. They always seem so in support of each other; see someone acting silly and they're like, "I say, let's all try that!" They all seem to exude this really positive masculinity.
Hahaha!!!! They're in the Drones because that's what they are. Immature, over-privileged but under-funded ex-public-schoolboys. They haven't grown up, and in many ways never will. Unfortunately most of them are destined to head straight for the House of Lords or House of Commons, with a few going into banking as a hobby.
@@anthonytaylor7590 The Wooster stories are set in the 1920s. Bertie and his friends would still have been at Eton or Oxford during WW1. But all those absent fathers probably died in the war.
@@anthonytaylor7590 this was 1920s after world war 1. Given their upper class situation most of them would be high ranking officers in ww2 and so probably wouldn’t even see action.
This may well be my favorite episode. The emptyheadedness of the Drones really comes out in this one, and there are so very many wonderful quips. Never ceases to lift the spirits!
Poor old Chef Anatole. Even dodging bombs and shells while cooking for a French General and his staff during 1914-18 was nothing compared to working at Brinkley Court.
I spent 17 years as a butler/house manager and thank god I was not someone's valet! Tying my employer's shoes would have made me think devious thoughts.
I will say that, having been a Marine for quite a piece, there are some get ups that are downright impossible to breathe in, let alone tie one's own footwear. I do agree with you though. Puts my........everything.....on edge.
The opening of this series, with Hugh as Bertie thoroughly hungover, barely capable of thought, incapable of speech, meeting Stephen as Jeeves for the first time, had me barely able to breathe through the laughter.
Sigh... Standard British talking point #25. Please educate yourself on single camera vs. Multicamera sitcom production. BBT is filmed in front of a live audience. Do you whinge about the "laugh track" on Graham Norton?
Yes! But Bertie's the best of the bunch. It's all a commentary on the lost generation from the Great War, Bertie and his mates all grew up without fathers so are all a bit directionless.
@@MajorT0m that's probably why everyone's head over heels for him. For older folks, he's the son they wish they had - with necessary emotional distance considering class disparity; reliable, supportive, and courteous. To younger ones he acts as a father figure
@@tertiaritus He even does some of the "wife" part: cleaning, cooking, pressing and preparing clothes and socks and ties and such, dealing with the family matters, fixing up bad hangovers and cold, remembering daily habits of Bertie, making vacation plans, and more, BUT not the nagging and gossiping, Jeeves is the most ideal caretaker. 😂
Since the mid-nineteen-thirties Wodehouse has brought to me and earlier the world joy,love of language,precise word-smithing,love of the ridiculous, puncturing of the pompous, modesty of the superior mind, and love of the simp (today, the wimp). Forever, Jeeves.
22:15 That moment of hesitation before Jeeves handles the jacket... as though he is trying to evaluate the most quick and painless way to get it out of there.
There is so much deliciousness in this, but I think the Drones Club takes the cake. The "overgrown school boys" background events manage to beat even Jeeve's body language & mimics, and that is saying something.
See the creative energy that makes up new dances. That is probably just how a lot of them were invented, energetic twits fooling around. Shimmy, Bunny Hug, Jitterbug... Also, girls can like the whole male energy thing. That’s important.
@@HooDatDonDarAs they say in Mystery Science Theater 3000: Catalina Caper. "Yes, a girl can't resist the moves of a gyrating guy!" Then again another quote helps "Everybody let's do The Dork. The Idiot. The Lamebrain. The Drone Male Reality!"😅😂
I'm posting this comment before seeing the episode, knowing full well that reading those that came before mine would reduce the likelihood of missing a fine point or two almost every scene is imbued with. Yet, despite all that, it doesn't mean that I don't rewind at the end of the first run to enjoy the numerous nuances and niceties too subtle for me to notice the first time round. The most minor character, as well as the most minor line, is an utter delight to see and hear. It is so sad that British productions in comedy have come to what they are now, considering what they once were.
This is the producers idea, padding out the show with a comic version of a crabby old man ranting. Well, not a bad pastiche of Plum. In the stories, he sits with his head in his hands, muttering about the sinister trend of modern Socialistic legislation, and what is to become of us all if this continues.
Im so grateful that there's still a place to get good honest entertainment not flooded with sex, violence and godlessness. I love British humor and drama. This is so aw,, thank you so much for providing such quality programs like this. I LOVE these guys. So FUNNY!!!🤣😂😄😉😀👍🏽👍🏽💗
I love how old Travers goes blaming for ruining the nation further and further in the past, from Disraeli to Cromwell to Runnymede, Hastings and finally the Romans.
The one thing I miss about this adaptation is not seeing the moment when Gussie Fink-Nottle goes out dressed up as Mephistopheles and gets into trouble with the cabman, though they do put Gussie in the red horns and tail later in the series.
"This white mess jacket is brand new!" "l assume it had got into your wardrobe by mistake, sir. Or else that it had been placed there by your enemies". "l will have you know, Jeeves, that l bought this in Cannes". "And wore it, sir?"
These actors are marvellous... the elderly actors especially are superb in the roles they play... Where do we have such people today, to fill in their shoes: The brilliant 'old school ', well trained... like old wine, in class of their own... Thank You for the memories: Year 2023:
This is so well done and in fact describes so much of human nature even today including men (some men) not quite sure how to speak to women and to let them know how they feel etc. Nothing changes really.
Just wonderful! Thaks for posting. (I think most people forget to thumbs up because we go to big screen and forget - THUMBS UP -303,000 + ties for you, dear poster!) cheers
"Deeply regret Brinkley Court 100 miles from London as unable to hit you with brick." 😂
Love it
“I’m not awake. I haven’t had my tea. Yet you bring me Fink-Nottles.” 😂
Favorite lines: "I've just had another thought." "Oh I am relieved, sir"

Jolly well put sir!
"Aunt calling to aunt like mastadons bellowing across primeval swamps," may be my favorite PG Wodehouse saying.
MastOdons*
Having read that phrase at least ten times and seen this episode at least four, I still laughed out loud at that, yet again.
@@ifthousayestso you kindly corrected my misspelling of “mastodons” 5 years ago and I just noticed it. Thank you. Hope you are well. 💕
"... when Aunt is calling Aunt like mastodons bellowing across primeval swamps..." Simply incomparable writing!
"You've heard of Market Snodsbury Grammar School?"
"No"
"It's a grammar school, in Market Snodsbury."
“You know you always shoot the wrong people.”
I love all the implied backstory in this episode.
"I'll have you know Jeeves that I bought this mess jacket in Cannes."
"And WORE IT, sir?"
I love how Jeeves refers to it as the GARMENT.
Love it
"The women must have mistaken you for a waiter, sir." Oh, Jeeves… ☺️
“Aunts are noted for their strong opinions, sir. It’s a distinguishing mark of the breed.”
I like "aunts are not gentlemen."
That is exactly what my young nephew says about me. His Autocratic old matron.
Surely not? Being a Plum fan, if you are an autocrat, it will be one of those jolly, breezy autocrats whom it is a pleasure to know.
(Pinched from a description of Aunt Dahlia)
Bertie is king of back handed compliments!!
I love when Jeeves hesitates and finally touches the jacket like it was an infection.
In a priceless moment in one episode, Jeeve's supreme aplomb slips away upon seeing the florid tie being worn by one of Bertie's friends. We find him in a psychologically unraveled state, hiding in the kitchen, the sight of the tie having necessitated his escape thither, to, as it were, that sanctuary.
and a stinky one at that!
@@catherinehawkins3211 Jeeves and for that matter Wooster would ever use such a gauche word.
@@chrisdiver6224yes that was funny
And he's right. That jacket is just dreadful. It makes Bertie look like a waiter in a bad Italian restaurant, or a bartender on a cruise ship.
23:32 "I SAY, JEEVES! I've just had another thought!"
"Oh I am relieved, sir..."
“Beautiful women used to try to catch my eye..”
“Presumably they thought you were a waiter Sir..”
Yep, great line.
Lol
Reminds me of Maggie Smith in Downtown Abbey.
@@grigturcescu6190, I'm pretty sure that moment when the Dowager Countess took her son for a waiter was copied from this episode in Wodehouse.
A better book-to-television adaptation there never was.
I dunno, Poirot is also up there.
Father Brown also comes close. Even the author of the books enjoyed the televised take on very well.
The thing that does reacquire is that the UK tv world. Has a good talent at recreating 1950's like tv series.

Quite the film critic aren’t you... good job you’re here to explain things to us all
I have to agree with Jeeves, it does look more like a waiter’s jacket than anything else.
@@medicwebber3037 🤣
Jeeves: "Indeed, Sir."
Wooster: "Jeeves, I'm sure that nothing is further from your mind...but you know you have a way of saying 'indeed, Sir' which gives the impression that it's only a feudal sense of what's fitting which prevents you from substituting the words 'Says you.'"
Jeeves: "I am distressed to hear this, Sir."
Wooster: "Well, so you should be, Jeeves."
........."Indeed, Sir."
Between this series and the brilliant Poirot, my cup runneth over.
"I absolutely forbid it! You know you ALWAYS shoot the wrong people!!" - another Wodehouse gem.
This show is an absolute masterpiece, it seems like everybody involved in it deserves an award, it's utterly brilliant !
The "Newt's Mating Dance" had me in tears! I couldn't stop laughing.
its a change from champagne and flowers
My fav scene as a kid
7:55 Making new dance moves that are better than the Foxtrot even! I mean just look at 9:27 alone! 😅
Especially carrying the phonograph like a beat box in procession. So hilarious! For a brief moment I wished I was a bright young thing.
When Bertie told his aunt (after she openly admited that's it was Jeeves' intervention she sought) that HE was the man for the job, and then I saw the face she made (as if; "oh, of course, YOU are in charge of Jeeves, and I must let you believe it"), I remembered how "layered" these stories are...

The guy who plays Tuppy is one of the most perfect castings in television history!
😂😂yeppp, even though he's been told that he is getting a double chin😂😂luv it !!!
He looks like Griff Fender in the Darts pop group.
he even was a guest star on "a bit of fry and laurie"(fry and laurie's sketch comedy show)
Also great in "Roger, Roger" and "Outside Edge".
So also Gussie, Bertie, Jeeves, Agatha
.....
So many bitingly funny lines and subtle gags. Not to mention the hypnotically well-done period setting, and perfect casting. I'm so glad I discovered this series years after reading the books.
"Anatole is Foreign Jeeves"
"REALLY sir?"
Every so often, Jeeves' cool sarcasm gives way to mild passive aggression
Love the music! A perfect accompaniment👏
it is superb
Anne Dudley composed all the music for this series.
I shall have to try Jeeves' phrase when someone asks me if something suits them...I supposed it was put there by your enemies, priceless!😂🤣
When Bertie informs Jeeves that he's packed the white dinner jacket, is classic.
Their voices are so spot on. This could work on radio.
Gotta say, I love the Drone Club members. They always seem so in support of each other; see someone acting silly and they're like, "I say, let's all try that!" They all seem to exude this really positive masculinity.

I asumed it had been placed there by your enemies sir... LOL 10:45
What a fine episode. Sheer brilliance.
That smug attitude
Back when “Tut” was the height of insults.
I assumed it had made it into your wardrobe by mistake or been placed there by your enemies. Only Stephen fry could deliver that line.

This is perfect entertainment, from opening credits and cartoon of those musicians to the closing. Perfect!
I should dislike Bertie, but I love him.
As for Jeeves, he is quite simply the greatest of literary characters.
Addicting series. Especially when laid up due to a knee replacement!!
"You know you always shoot the wrong people"
Cracked me up. 😂
To me the funniest part is the old man at dinner going on about Harold at Hastings, Disraeli, Runnymede, Oliver Cromwell, etc
He's not like that in the books. Mind, in the books he can bore you to death if you let him get onto the subject of antique silver.
This is the producers idea, padding out the show with a comic version of a crabby old man ranting. Well, not a bad pastiche of Plum.
In the stories, he sits with his head in his hands, muttering about the sinister trend of modern Socialistic legislation, and what is to become of us all if this continues.
I don’t know why I got flashbacks to Marty McFly giving love advice to George McFly and George taking careful notes.
The absolute cheek of Bertie packing that damned jacket behind Jeeves back. How dare you sir!

"Which way up does it go, sir?"
I feel bad for Poor Anatol.
With those buttons on the shoulders, that dinner jacket makes Bertie look like a Military Officer.
It's a mess jacket style, the kind British officers wear for formal dinners. Hence the brass buttons
Particularly beautiful lighting, sets and locations in the episode.
The one thing I miss about this adaptation is not seeing the moment when Gussie Fink-Nottle goes out dressed up as Mephistopheles and gets into trouble with the cabman, though they do put Gussie in the red horns and tail later in the series.

Written by P G Wodehouse, great scenery and Hugh Laurie as Bertie....it couldn't get any better.
Such brilliant dialogue.
That dinner scene's brilliant.
This is so well done and in fact describes so much of human nature even today including men (some men) not quite sure how to speak to women and to let them know how they feel etc. Nothing changes really.
Is there a better series ever? I think not.
Allen Janz indubitably

Maybe not better, but equally entertaining in a diff way: House.

Thank you! I watched the series years ago and love every episode.
Best Shakespeare reference ever!
Can't decide whether to slap Wooster on the back or on his head...
He does make that jacket look pretty good.

Indeed, Sir?
Bertie: I love * insert any remotely eccentric article of clothing ever * :))
Jeeves: it’s disgusting,,,
every gentleman needs Jeeves in their life
