This is what the Brits did so splendidly in the later decades of the 1900s - adopting books for television and actually preserving the "finesse" (in search of a better word) of them. Eg Jeeves and Wooster, Pride and Prejudice, the adoptions of John Le Carré's books starring Alec Guinness, and (of-course!) the Jeremy Brett version of Sherlock holmes.
@John Thomas Genuine question: are you new to the internet? It's just that the errors to be found are as sands on the beach, so either the internet is perfectly new to you, and you have encountered a grammatical error for the first time... or you must have a _lot_ of time on your hands.
Showed my roommate Jeeves & Wooster for the first time. He was in awe of Jeeves and finally understood where all the references come from. That being said, it's amazing what a wonderful constant P. G. Wodehouse created with that character. Final thought: Stephen Fry's eyes are absolutely perfect in every expression. A perfect contrast with Hugh Laurie's beautifully over the top performance.
Fry and Laurie absolutely MADE this show. We had two Madelines, two Gussies, two Aunt Agathas and Aunt Dalias, and so many others between them, but Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie were the lynchpin - the constant rock, the lighthouse in a lonely sea - that kept us going!
The sad part is since it was done perfectly by these two, any further attempts at adaptation would only be a deterioration. Which would be fine except you just know someone will be foolish enough to try.
A story much like Crosby and Hope for the Road pictures. They had been together in the four Adder series and had a comedy duo skit show with Emma Thompson. She had suggested they had a Wooster and Jeeves vibe from the Jeeves novels...and they produced these BBC series. Fry even topped the Wodehouse written character making him just as broadly funny as Wooster, whom Laurie did to perfection to the writing)
They must have had the best time filming this. It's always fun watching actors who are friends in real life working together. They bounce off each other so well.
Loved the books when I first read them in the late 1960s as a schoolboy. Would sit in bed at night reading these stories and chuckle away to myself. They were introduced to me by my father who first read them when he was at school in the 1930s. He loved them as well. Fry and Laurie captured Jeeves and Wooster perfectly. My children and I watched the series when it first appeared and this was how I passed on the antics of Bertie, Gussie and the members of the Drones not to mention Bertie's man Jeeves on to the next generation.
Except he didn't. No matter how good the Jeeves and Wooster series and the playing of Fry and Laurie is, I still prefer the books. Which PGW did write.
@@irbennettOf course, everyone is entitled to their respective opinions, but as someone who’s read several of the novels, I have to say the show absolutely did Wodehouse’s stories justice
The finest version of the Jeeves books ever made, albeit with storyline adjustments to fit the one hour slot. The attention to detail and character representation were superb.
The best part is the delecate act Fry does, it would be so easy to look down on his idiot master but instead he projects he really wants to make him a better person.
The manner in which Fry & Laurie continually play the perfect foils for each other is quite uncanny. My impression is that they must have genuinely enjoyed each other's company outside of their respective roles.
Wooster isn't really an idiot though. I think he became the template for the foolish idol rich stereotype of that era (and I don't doubt his role in Blackadder Goes Forth was inspired by the character), but the Wooster character was really just affable but stubborn. Most of the stories revolved around him getting out of situations that had been forced upon him by family connections, or by him wanting to help others get out of situations they (in most cases) had brought upon themselves.
@@rogerforsberg3910Yes!! Their chemistry and timing in anything they do is electric. They’re definitely close friends as well; I think Stephen Fry is even the godfather to one/more of Hugh Laurie’s kids!
Hands-down the best, most entertaining J&W edit I've seen. This brilliantly and hilariously summarises this duo, their comedy, and their chemistry; the wit and charm of the show, the situational avalanches, and Jeeves' genius and devious extrication tactics which ultimately resolve everything. This is just. PERFECT. 👌Well done.
I grew up watching Jeeves and Wooster with my parents, and I can safely say that this show has impacted our family subculture, if I can put it that way :) We still repeat the jokes and phrases from the show with no need to remind where they came from. Every now and then I watch Jeeves and Wooster for comfort when I feel down, it's just so simple and lighthearted!

What an absolutely perfect overview of the show. I had a huge grin on my face the entire time and I was staggered to see that this video was almost 7 minutes long! I could have sworn it was only around 2, and I mean that as a compliment. I adore this show, and I’m tempted to show people this video as an explanation of why. Great work!
Fry and Laurie are the epitome of what PG Wodehouse had envisaged when he wanted to portray the vacuity of the British upper class and the stuffy snobbishness of the middle class. They are timeless.
Superb manner of condensing the entire thing into six minutes of fun. Good song choice as well. I love the bit where Bertie insists that Jeeves get those two telegrams out immediately; his logic is something one wouldn't want to unravel. :D
Absolutely, completely, wonderfully FANTASTIC!!! I've been a lover of Wodehouse for about 30 years (and have read over 50 of his books...some multiple times) and, of course, love the show with Hugh & Laurie...this perfectly gives a taste of the characters, situations and flavor of the show... Well done!!
A fabulous series, best of all, you see the two characters become increasingly close as they rub off on one another. Bertie becoming a better, albeit only slightly, man... And Reggie becoming more accepting, albeit only slightly, of his employer's flaws... It all works marvelously, and could only be portrayed by these two men.
I say Jeeves, are you the trope codifier of hyper-competent sidekick? -Well Sir, I dare say there are numerous examples in history and myth before my time, Enki for example. And I venture to say that one is either competent or not, to go into the superlatives seems to be gauche. Either way, are you sure a gentleman should spend time on that website? They say it can ruin one's life, Sir. -Oh, I don't think so. I have only spend... What time is it? -Eight, Sir. -Now, that isn't bad, only two hours. -Two days later, Sir. -Oh. Well then. I'm going to the club, Jeeves, Gussie says he has the most astounding thing to show. i hope it is not Newts again. And get rid of that machine, we will get another one if we need one. -Very well, Sir. Maybe the joke got a bit away from me :-)
This is my favorite show, and yet I couldn’t find a way to stream it from an official source, so instead I have to watch it on UA-cam in a bad quality. This clip is brilliant, like a piece of sugar to J&W fans!
I love how that's both an original P. G. Wodehouse book reference _and_ a _Blackadder_ reference. To quote Bertie Woo- (cough) I mean Lieutenant George, ”Clever, clever! 😣”
Dude. I'm coming back to this video after having watched all episodes of the show but one to comment on how absolutely perfect it is in every way. This might be one of my all-time favorite UA-cam videos. 🤣 The way that you used “Sing, Sing, Sing” in the background was BRILLIANT, especially considering that I had always thought it would be a good backing track for one of the scenes when reading the books.

WONDERFUL. The show was so just so 'bally bally good' but the books are sublime start with a short story set especially 'Very Good Jeeves which has 'Jeeves and The Yuletide Spirit' and 'Jeeves and The Impending Doom' among others and then just read on. Your life will be enriched.
That is brilliant. I laughed all over again. So glad I discovered this hilarious show last month by accident. P.G.Wodehouse is a British national treasure. Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie are the perfect Jeeves and Wooster just like Basil Rathbone is the quintescential Sherlock.
Quintessential, sir. Derived from the belief that there was a fifth essence, higher that the four essences of earth, air, fire, and water, said quintessence being basic and all-pervasive. First propounded by the philosopher Aristotle, I am informed , sir.
Absolutely marvelous! And I do think ‘sing sing sing’ is a perfect accompaniment to their constant hijinks :D (and it’s one of my favorite period jazz pieces too!)
I feel like this has helped shape (or misshape) America's view of Britain just like Friends has shaped the world's view of America. To me this seems like the most British thing ever though it's set in a different time period.
@@marknewbold2583 Plum said they were: “gone. Pongo, Beefy, Lord Em - all gone. Some said they never existed, I don’t know. I was awfully fond of them, anyway.”
Well done. That was in fact Jeeves and Wooster in a nut shell. And a reminder of how absolutely perfectly cast they were. I can not imagine any other actors doing it half as well.
Thee series was my introduction to not only J & W, but Wodehouse. As well as Fry and Laurie. Hilarious 🤣 And what a shock when a few years later I find out that Laurie played Dr. House, " Waitwaitwait... Bertie is House?!?" 😲🤯😂
Lovely. I've dithered over whether the series or Plum's source material were better (there are some brilliant TV additions), but in the end, like other great adaptations, each complements the other.
One of the funniest books I have ever read. Had me literally cackling on a crowded peak hour bus. The humour doesn't come out in these clips, unfortunately. Wodehouse's wit is a slow but intense stream, not high speed.
Some years ago, on a YT thread, a chap was absolutely adamant that Hugh Laurie was totally American. He was completely convinced and, for evidence, he pointed to Laurie's accent in House MD. He was, I think, somewhat taken aback when numerous folk swiftly pointed out the error of his assertion citing, IIRC, such things as Blackadder. Happily, whilst bemused and a little gobsmacked, he accepted and conceded the point with grace. Perhaps this would have been an even better argument? 🙂
They're just so right for each other. You keep looking...who's taller? Who's REALLY in charge? Period illustrations don't do Jeeves justice --it just works out so well that they're both...*fairly* good-looking...minus the skewwy nose, of course, but then Bertie looks like a walking Edward Gorey figure..Just perfect.
Plum could turn a phrase. Lots did not make in into these. Just too many: “A melancholy-looking man, he had the appearance of one who has searched for the leak in life's gas-pipe with a lighted candle.” “The Right Hon. was a tubby little chap who looked like he had been poured into his clothes and had forgotten to say 'When.'” “The voice of love seemed to call to me, but it was a wrong number.” “There are moments, Jeeves, when one asks oneself, 'Do trousers matter?'" "The mood will pass, sir.” Har!
Yes, that about sums it up. I have the series on DVD, and I have many of the novels on Audible and Kindle. It’s the P.G. Wodehouse immersive experience.
“Approaching the perpendicular, Sir.” 😂
These clips give absolutely no context for anything, and yet they say everything about this show. Well done. Well done, indeed.
"He endeavours to give satisfaction, sir."
"Will that be all, sir?"
Jolly good, I say.
Agree with my all. I will be sharing this with my 15 year old daughter to convince her to watch series with me
@@patrickhayes3099how would anyone have a hard time convincing somebody to watch this? Show was hilarious.
"A thought has just occurred to me, sir."
"This is no time for thought, Jeeves!"
😂
Righty-ho!
The use of English language in this series is splendid. Such a superb offering.
Except PG Wodehouse's use of language, in the original books, is sublime.
Love Jeeves and Wooster. The show did the books proud and that time period is portrayed perfectly.
The time period never changed and was somewhere in the 1920s. No overarching plotline for Jeeves and Wooster.
This is what the Brits did so splendidly in the later decades of the 1900s - adopting books for television and actually preserving the "finesse" (in search of a better word) of them. Eg Jeeves and Wooster, Pride and Prejudice, the adoptions of John Le Carré's books starring Alec Guinness, and (of-course!) the Jeremy Brett version of Sherlock holmes.

Gosh the edit is everything!
Plum could turn a phrase. Lots did not make in into these. Just too many:
“A melancholy-looking man, he had the appearance of one who has searched for the leak in life's gas-pipe with a lighted candle.”
“The Right Hon. was a tubby little chap who looked like he had been poured into his clothes and had forgotten to say 'When.'”
“The voice of love seemed to call to me, but it was a wrong number.”
“There are moments, Jeeves, when one asks oneself, 'Do trousers matter?'"
"The mood will pass, sir.”
Har!
Gregory House giving orders to Lord Melchett, the indignity of a low ranking nobleman!
Yes, that about sums it up. I have the series on DVD, and I have many of the novels on Audible and Kindle. It’s the P.G. Wodehouse immersive experience.
So glad these program exist that commemorate Stephen Fry at the apex of his masculine beauty.
Jeeves and Wooster would have been Bruce Wayne and Alfred if the Wayne family had taken the car home.
Absolutely criminal that it cannot be found on TV anywhere.
Indeed, I dare say I’d risk a back massage from Spode if it meant region locking was never a thing.
I love this so much! It's so well done.
Love this rendition of the Jeeves and Wooster characters
"Do you know everything?" "I really don't know, Sir." Doesn't say much about Bertie but a lot about Jeeves.
Wonderful compilation, perfect choice of music! 😂
