"You have seen this kid in action, and you know what he's like. He told Cyril Bassington-Bassington, a fellow to whom he had never been formally introduced, that he had a face like a fish. And this not thirty seconds after their initial meeting. I give you fair warning that, if he tells me I have a face like a fish, I shall clump his head."
"Bertie!" cried the Wickham, contorted with anguish and apprehension and what not.
"Yes, I shall."
"Then you'll simply ruin the whole thing."
"I don't care. We Woosters have our pride."
"Perhaps the young gentleman will not notice that you have a face like a fish, sir," suggested Jeeves.

Episode of the Dog Macintosh, by P.G. Wodehouse
How is Jeeves and Wooster? A friend of mine was telling me about it.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Jeeves. :D He. Is. Awesome. I also love how Hugh Laurie plays Bertie Wooster. :D
ReplyDeleteMiss Bennet,
ReplyDeleteI've only seen a few clips of Jeeves and Wooster, but it looks pretty good--I'm mostly familiar with P.G. Wodehouse's original stories. I highly recommend them!
Julia,
Jeeves is absolutely amazing. With him and Sir Percy around, how could anyone stay in trouble for long? :)
Miss Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteI've watched the whole Jeeves & Wooster series and it is hilarious and very well made! My whole family really enjoys watching our DVD copies, it's a special favorite of my mom's.
Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie are great actors and they just "are" the characters of Jeeves and Bertie Wooster! (although I haven't read very much of the original works.)
And many of the costumes are very nice! I highly recommend the TV series as much as Miss Dashwood highly recommends the books! :)
Yes, you really must review this series! I've read almost every P.G. Wodehouse book in print, and started the first series on DVD-it is sublime!!!
