Thank you SO MUCH for uploading more of these. They just appeared on my feed at a difficult time when I am caring for my mother who has Alzheimer's and who makes me feel that I am losing my own mind. This gentle but well played humour is perfect for lifting my spirits and I am very very grateful to be able to laugh at the absurdity.
Yes, they're perfect in their roles - the dim-witted, amiable upper-class fop and the unctuous, slightly-smug butler - both played to perfection.prfection.
I have been reading Wodehouse and then listening to the audiobooks on RUclips. Being an American, I didn't even know this was a television show. I almost wasn't going to watch it. I couldn't imagine that they could catch it adequately, but was thrilled to see a young Hugh Laurie playing Wooster! Today is my lucky day.
Facial expressions and how he uses his entire body for comedy. No one can fall or take a punch like Hugh Laurie. Check out some of his work on "A Bit Of Fry And Laurie". There's a really good skit called "Fry and Laurie - Sex Talk in Class" that's very funny. Also the one where he's looking for the book on cricket. But my all time favourite is the scene with "Mr. Burmie" where Stephen Fry loves his daschund WAY too much and can't stop sharing the details of his pet relationship with the whole veterinarians waiting office, especially Laurie's character. Hell, I'm gonna go watch it now, hehe! Hope you like them too!
wmnoffaith1 Same here, except that I grew up in India. didn't think the book could be made into a series, came across this, almost didn't watch it- and yet after watching this it disappoint me. still no match for the book though
You are indeed lucky that this was the first televised series of the Bertie Wooster stories you watched! There was another one made in the 1960s with Ian Carmichael as Bertie. Much as I like Ian and respect him as an actor, he was far too old even back then to play a young man in his mid-twenties. But Hugh Laurie is perfect in the role. Cheers!
Just love the incredible dignity of Jeeves walking or carrying the dog. And "Pardon me for asking, sir, but are you planning to appear in public in those garments?"
@@CH-wh2ji You could start with the three volumes of short stories about Bertie and Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse. The first one is "Carry on, Jeeves", which starts with Bertie engaging Jeeves, then you could read "Very Good, Jeeves", and keep the best (in my opinion) till last: "The Inimitable Jeeves". (These are not in order of publication, but they are more or less in chronological order as regards the actual timeline). If you enjoy them, you could read the full-length novels afterwards. I love these short stories, but I must say I dislike the full-length novels. They tend to get very dreary and repetitive, and the characters are excessively irritating, but don't let that put you off!) Good luck!
I can’t get enough. I rewatch it over again and again! And I am a foreigner (from Russia). Love the details, the actors, the humor! Lovely. Great work. Marvelous!
Genius writing and Laurie and Fry were born to play these roles. But can’t forget supporting cast in these shows. Perfectly cast and wonderfully directed. Wodehouse would most definitely approve.
hydra hydrart the composer for all the music in the series is Anne Dudley - you may be familiar w a lot of her acclaimed work, perhaps you watch Poldark on PBS? More fabulous violin. Google her - she’s a superstar!
I first watched this when it was broadcast when I was 14. There was never a better adaptation of Wodehouse than this amazing series well done to Clive Exton for capturing the essence of satirical comedy P. G Wodehouse was so gifted at. The casting of Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie was a sheer act of genius as they are unsurpassed, even by Richard Briers and Sir Michael Horden in their radio version. Excellent production value is the major theme to be seen in this outstanding Granada series.
Totally agree. There was a fairly decent BBC version with Ian Carmichael and Dennis Price, but the casting of Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry was inspired. "The bally thing about the whole thing is, it's so bally...BALLY!" "Indeed, sir".
Fry and Laurie are to Granada's "Jeeves and Wooster" what Jeremy Brett and David Burke were to Granada's "Adventures of Sherlock Holmes:" Perfect casting; lightning in a bottle.
This series became my antidote for Downton Abbey. I did not know Fry or Laurie existed. I just needed something from that era of Britain's 1920s. What a total surprise. Have since seen much more of them both now. I remain in admiration of this series having seen what came before and after. Those actors played their true selves in this series.
My late father started his Police career during this period in Old Hunstanton where PG Wodehouse had his residence in the Old Coach house on the grounds of Old Hunstanton Hall. Often wondered if some of the rather silly police officers might have been based on the young green Pater during his training. Om one fine day a Bentley being employed as Taxi brakes failed running backwards down the road brsides the green knocked a young lady over an icecream cart selling penny licks. The lady fortunately was uninjured. Sadly the same could not be said about the penny-lick cart.
I'd quite forgotten just how delightful these are. Well adapted & beautifully acted. Anne Dudley's music is PERFECT. It's minor key juxtaposed with jaunty swing gives a flavour of 'Let's Face The Music And Dance'.. Superb. Simply superb. 😂👏❤️❤️
The music is just incredibly good (as is the accompanying animation). Sometimes I tire a bit of the theme songs of series but this music is as much a joy a the series itself.
Ah, I just had the biggest burst of laughter when the opera singer started to sing Sunny Boy. I absolutely didn't expect this show to be so cleverly funny. Last episode was great but this one definitely triumphs it.
21:03 "It's called '47 Ginger-headed sailors', Jeeves. It's all the rage at the Drones at the moment." "I can't say I'm surprised to hear that, sir." A maestro of understatement lol
Many thanks Ioreal910 for the opportunity for us to view once again this evergreen old favorite series of PG Wodehouse with Jeeves and Wooster so ably represented by Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie. Such clean and mature comedy!
"Were you an outstandingly brilliant child?" "My mother thought me intelligent, sir." "Well, can't go by that. My mother thought ME intelligent." How can one not love these two?
I've come back to Series 1 after watching Series' 1 & 2 and I've arrived at the opinion that the budget for this must have been massive. The set designers and prop people didn't miss a thing.
Mysterious Squirrel Granada Television and Carnival Films co-production . . . . in short, yes. Sadly, Granada is no more, having merged with another company, but Carnival has gone on to produce Downton Abbey.
@@schoo9256 I heartily wish I had all the ladies wardrobes, along with the ones from Poirot, or any of the Agatha Christies for that matter. Especially shoes!
I didn't arrive somewhere once, most extraordinary thing. I was on my way there when something happened. Cannot remember what. O MY I Love this show... Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you so much. Wodehouse ,fabulous. And Stephen Fry & Hugh Laurie., they are smashing. First fell in love with them in " A Bit of Fry & Laurie. " Really enjoyed it.
***** Sorry late reply. But it is great. Every time I see Fry & Laurie together ,I can not but get the Giggles , and think about the Skit they did on "A Bit Of Fry & Laurie". Singing the Song - There Ain't But one way( Kicking Ass). A great team.
Oh to have found these on You Tube! They just don't seem to have aged at all. Still as funnily brilliant as the first time I saw the show as a teenager. Absolutely adored Fry but then I fell in love with Laurie on House, its pretty cool to see him as the ijiot instead of the sarcastic know-it-all again. Also reminds me of the early days of search engines when you "Asked Jeeves" instead of Google!!
Irish King Right ho, so do I. Barmy, Bingo, Tuppy, Pongo, Gussy etc. The Brits at this time had awesome names and nicknames for their chums. We Yanks have thing like buddy, Pal and all other very generic name for our friends. Pip pip Old Bean. Chaps and such.
Also Chuffy (Lord Chuffnel) and 'Beefy' Bingham. Girls too, though not so much - Stiffy Byng, Corky Pirbright (that's Catsmeat's sister Cora, the Hollywood star).
7:28 When he goes "Hey!!" And runs after MacIntosh, gets me every time. So funny. The dog does very well. Who knew that a little doggie could have such comedic timing!?
It's amazing how clever the writing and performing can be done but also be funny and having such good timing on the physical things they are doing at the same time. So brilliant.
I've been searching for hours for something interesting to read/listen to when I stumbled upon these! Marvelous! Going to listen to the novels and short stories. Thank you.
Note the satirical symbolism of English prudery as the camera goes past a statue of a naked cherub with a strategically placed flower - indicates a very empathic and talented director.
"Satirical symbolism of English prudery": You dumb, pretentious prat. Botticelli's Birth Of Venus has some strategically placed gauze. Empathic is not a word, pretentious twat.
These days this is the only show makes me laugh and forget the horrible things happening. Love it. No movie or any other show can do. Just this old reruns. What a talent, Mr. Wodehouse, Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie. Thank you forever.
I usually get annoyed with the whole "entertainment nowadays is all shitty and all the same" cliché (there is pretty decent stuff out there with violence, sex and betrayal, and intelligently done) but I have to agree with you. It's so wholesome and lighthearted, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
Thank you for uploading this online, you're an absolute angel. I absolutely love this show and I've been looking for it online for ages. Gotta love Wodehouse.
Thank you for the upload! I have had several sets of the DVDs. Every time I lend them out, I never get them back. Now I can email your downloads and keep my current set. They are too good not to share! :-D
The moral here is obviously never to lend DVDs, CDs and/or books. Like you I used to lend them to people but never got them back, so I don't do it any more.
"Perhaps we are not keeping our eye on the ball with sufficient assiduity"...A line that could apply to just about any politician serving in government at the moment, if not the entire Parliament.
Cracked me up! The reward that Bertie gives to Jeeves, is to destroy his eccentric clothes, priceless! What Americans may not get about this joke is... in the olden days, a valet prided himself on working for a true gentleman and if his employer wore bad clothes, the valet lost prestige among peers and society. If people looked up to your employer, as a valet, your rank and prestige rose accordingly. Of course, this is more subtle in a comedy but was still there.
Thank you for saying this! Anything that helps me appreciate the comedy better is of course always welcome- of course as Americans we are unlikely to know these things, so it’s nice to learn!
I find it so unimaginable Fry suffered from depression, a man so wonderful, if i had known this, i would have written him and asked if we could give parties or do anything in our power to make him happy ! I love not only his performance, but his books are outrageously funny
The dog Macintosh in the book is indeed an Aberdeen terrier (31:50), however this Macintosh appears to be a West Highland white terrier. Super cute just the same!
I lived in Holland for many years. The first three years I did not speak the language so BBC was on the menu. I was already familiar with Eastenders and Madterpiece Theatre..but my mind was completely blown...I think I had already been watching Last of the Summer Wine as well...so it was such a treat to be able to watch BBC 1 and 2 whenever I wanted to!! Such funny shows, great actors and wonderfully written shows....siiiiiigh! The good old days!
I'd like to say that not all ladies named "Roberta" behave as Miss Wickham does.... 😸 Excellent series... it was in my feed tonight... otherwise I don't think I would have ever had the opportunity to see such a gem. I just love Fry and Laurie, they're brilliant! 😸

I usually get annoyed with the whole "entertainment nowadays is all shitty and all the same" cliché (there is pretty decent stuff out there with violence, sex and betrayal, and intelligently done) but I have to agree with you. It's so wholesome and lighthearted, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
i can't agree more!
BigChap J done with the skill of shakespeare. Which makes all the difference.
whats wrong with violence sex and betrayl?
@@romc3733 it is cheap and vulgar by contrast.
Thank you for uploading this online, you're an absolute angel. I absolutely love this show and I've been looking for it online for ages. Gotta love Wodehouse.
Ok it took me watching 6 episodes but i finally started getting the humor. Greatly appreciated Clean fun! Thank you for posting
MacIntosh is so freaking adorable.
Woodhouse was a comic genius and this series perfectly captures and presents it in all its frivolous hilarity.
"Can't go by that, my mother thought me intelligent."
I love this incredibly funny series... I need a Jeeves in my life!!!
But remember, Jeeves will always get his own way, while he's perfectly willing to undermine Bertie at every turn.
Thank you for posting his show. Love it so much. Going to watch every episode I find here. xx
Stephen Fry is the loveliest man upon this earth,
but upon his youth, by Jeeves,
Stephen Fry is achingly beautiful
So, Fry is Lord Neddick? Yes, very handsome.
I love these two SO MUCH!
Hilarious! Miss comedy like this. No swearing, no naked writhing bodies! Just laughter !!!!
Thank you for the upload!
I have had several sets of the DVDs. Every time I lend them out, I never get them back. Now I can email your downloads and keep my current set. They are too good not to share!
:-D
The moral here is obviously never to lend DVDs, CDs and/or books. Like you I used to lend them to people but never got them back, so I don't do it any more.
I have the same problem.... but it doesn't upset me too much because I know I'm creating more Wodehouse fans.
fantastic,watch these episodes every day for the last two weeks
Thank you for your upload
I love this series, I wish they had made more.
All episodes are brilliantly perfect!
Faultless. Perfect. Immaculate.
Only Jeeves can look that dignified while walking a dog
I love the averted gaze to give the dog some privacy while it goes 😂
Love Jeeves and Wooster
GRAVITAS! That's it!
Only Fry can play Jeeves!
@@sonyonker Loved that, but the dog was not interested, nor appreciated.
I constantly have envisions of Monty Python's: "UPPER-CLASS TWIT OF THE YEAR" COMPETIONS
John E McCormick I knew it wasn’t just me
I’m sorry, did you say “I have envisions of”? Are you always this articulate or did you get hit in the head with one of Wooster’s straying golf balls?

I am American.. we suck at proper writing skills
@@johnwriter8234 Speak for yourself, John. I am sorry you have come to that seclusion.

I thought I came to that concussion obstinctivly
"Perhaps we are not keeping our eye on the ball with sufficient assiduity"...A line that could apply to just about any politician serving in government at the moment, if not the entire Parliament.
Cracked me up! The reward that Bertie gives to Jeeves, is to destroy his eccentric clothes, priceless! What Americans may not get about this joke is... in the olden days, a valet prided himself on working for a true gentleman and if his employer wore bad clothes, the valet lost prestige among peers and society. If people looked up to your employer, as a valet, your rank and prestige rose accordingly. Of course, this is more subtle in a comedy but was still there.
Thanks for telling..It would have been difficult to get this for non Brits 😊
Heck, I'm a Brit and I didn't know that.
Thank you for saying this! Anything that helps me appreciate the comedy better is of course always welcome- of course as Americans we are unlikely to know these things, so it’s nice to learn!
Based on their parent/ child relationship ... That makes sense. Whoever dresses you in the morning, gets judged all day.
Helping me through the Pandemic. Thank you!! ❤️
PERFECTION!!!
thank you for uploading jeeves and wooster, i adore it, what ho
I have found my new favorite show to binge.
If not for the cars for the humor.
These are just what I needed during this election season. Something to take my mind off all of this.
It is thoroughly enjoyable!
I feel so lucky to have found them.
I had forgotten what a marvellous actor Robert Daws is. A good voice too!
You mean Rik Mayall 🤭
Like is far too mild a positive descriptor for this delight!
Agree!
I say, Jolly good of you to upload this Squire!
thank you for posting these wonderful shows. so much fun. thanks!
I'm happy to see this video. I have missed seeing these two fine actors in their heyday. Wonderful, funny period piece.😊❤️
I find it so unimaginable Fry suffered from depression, a man so wonderful, if i had known this, i would have written him and asked if we could give parties or do anything in our power to make him happy !
I love not only his performance, but his books are outrageously funny
Lovely! We so love Wooster and Jeeves. The book is better of course.
Of course. But I remain in awe at how well Fry and Laurie capture their essence.
Banger of a golf club. Cute dog. Wicked good fun.
Professor Kludge & wife, reminiscing on there homeland, get’s me every time!
But things are better here, he adds. No intention of returning to Romania.
He keeps making her cry as he keeps mentioning Romania.
I wonder whose dog that is; he looks at both Fry and Laurie as though they've been giving him treats and attention between takes 🤣
The dog Macintosh in the book is indeed an Aberdeen terrier (31:50), however this Macintosh appears to be a West Highland white terrier. Super cute just the same!
I thought he was a Caen Terrier!
Oh-
That's what I was thinking.
Absolutely loved these and missed them when they went off air!
I lived in Holland for many years. The first three years I did not speak the language so BBC was on the menu. I was already familiar with Eastenders and Madterpiece Theatre..but my mind was completely blown...I think I had already been watching Last of the Summer Wine as well...so it was such a treat to be able to watch BBC 1 and 2 whenever I wanted to!! Such funny shows, great actors and wonderfully written shows....siiiiiigh! The good old days!
But this was made by itv!
I'd like to say that not all ladies named "Roberta" behave as Miss Wickham does.... 😸 Excellent series... it was in my feed tonight... otherwise I don't think I would have ever had the opportunity to see such a gem. I just love Fry and Laurie, they're brilliant! 😸
