@@cruisepaigeI'm shocked at the lot of you! I've never spent the day in my pajamas. I haven't even HAD pajamas in decades. I sleep in my clothes. Blue jeans of course. With everything left in the pockets. The lot of you are lazy beyond any description. 😂
Fry can't actually play, of course. Wasn't that last line, "Why don't you take the right hand this time?", strange? They're playing four hands (or at least three hands), after all.
From what I understant from Fry's autobiographies, he does can play. He had piano lessons for quite a while. But he considers he can't play because altough he can play some pieces he learns, he doesn't have a real talent to it, like Laurie does.
Herbert Wells I think he meant Jeeves sit on the right and play the right hand side,at least that’s what I took it to mean,then it would make sense even if they are playing with 3 or 4 hands
Hugh Laurie is irresistible when he's enjoying himself in front of the piano. nothing more attractive than a genuinely talented man! I see that he was already showing his jazzy talents here.
Me too. My favourite is in the scene on the coast of Cornwell when Barmy Fungy-Phipps (Martin Clunes) in black-face greets him and Bertie doesnt recognize one of his best friends just because he has some shoe-polish on his face.
Absolutely one of my favorite shows! These two are incredible actors. I don't know who I love best Jeeves or Wooster! Their mannerisms and facial expressions are incredible. This is a masterpiece. I have come to love British shows more than American. Their attention to detail and script is incredible. Thank you so much for downloading these. I truly enjoy them.
"Jeeves, you seem to have a fatal fascination for the women of this country." "Yes, it is a problem, sir." "There's no chance of your switching it off or something, I suppose?" "I regret not, sir. I have to learn to bear it." Hahaha, that really slays me!
The Brits & the Americans express themselves differently in spite of both speaking English & I love the confusion it causes, The cop yo Jevves: "No I'm not dressing you I talking to you", how funny is that!!!!
@@elenapanova4809 I think they were aware of that, they were merely quoting what the Police officer said. It seems Americans don't use the word 'addressing', so the officer got confused.
So lovely including the piano. In the 1960s it was a big thing for my parents to ensure all of us had piano lessons and my sister and I even did 2 piano duet examinations. I still play today. I hope people keep on helping their children learn the piano.
Seeing Jeeves and Bertie playing piano together is so satisfying. You just know that despite them being employer and employee, they're probably one another's closest friend.
@@maxie-q4r Very much so. And in his autobiography Fry, who is gay, expresses relief that he never felt an attraction to Hugh, who is straight, as they worked together for several years while students at Cambridge.
@@granthurlburt4062 not to mention the fact that the show is based on a famous set of books written by someone else. P.G.Wodehouse. So, unlike Americans, who alter everything to suit themselves, the writers of the episodes didn’t see the need to change the relationship between them in the show.
There's so much love and cherishing in the design and production of these episodes, I find myself tearful when there doesn't seem anything that emotional going on!
Dion Lindsay. I keep thinking that it is like looking at a collection of rare old treasures in a museum that are no longer part of daily life in Great Britain.
Billy Sunday (Jimmy Mundy here) was the forerunner of TV evangelists. He spoke (or shouted) to packed audiences at large halls and stadiums. A former baseball player, Sunday was especially famous for his flamboyant gesticulations, flailing his arms and feet. He claimed to be fighting with the Devil during his sermons. In particular, Sunday preached against Demon Rum. When the Prohibition Amendment was ratified, He announced that all the prisons, poorhouses, and hospitals would close for lack of inmates once alcohol was banned.
Thank you so very much for posting this series, I had not seen it before. I have really enjoyed it and I don't remember the last time I laughed so much. M.
This is the only episode I can remember where Jeeves made two terrible miscalculations. But the way he manages to get away with it is hilarious. I love this episode.
You know something hilarious? He sounds adorable as a children's narrator (as I learned while watching my little nephew). Check out a Pocoyo with Stephen Fry as narrator 😂
@@thepresence365 There's a Roald Dahl audio book series where Stephen Fry narrates The Enormous Crocodile, and Hugh Laurie The giraffe and the pelly and me. I must have heard the former a hundred times.. my children's favourite!
I love how Jeeves is confused by all the women flirting with him. Also, I believe P.G. Wodehouse would have loved these two playing his classic characters.
You are absolutely right! Fry and Laurie were BORN to play Jeeves and Wooster. Of course, they have been excellent in other roles too, as Laurie in "House" and Fry as Oscar Wilde.
@@cslloverHe stands out in his way. Where the rest of the people shown are stiffer upper class British/American people. The liftboy shows that he is more streetwise. Without going over the line I say.
The preacher's name is a play on "Billy Sunday", for those who don't know, a gentleman who played a similar role in New York at the time of this story.
I love the minor touches. Like the difference in the reactions of Miss Rockmeteller and the Duke of Chiswick on Bertie's presence in the flat. The Duke sees nothing odd about it, and takes Bertie as an authority on Bicky's life in New York. Meanwhile, Miss Rockmeteller treats him like a beggar, and wants him gone immediately. It's a cunning way to illustrate cultural differences.
44:09 Not once before in the history of fiction has a character paused, quite calmly, in the midst of a fiery chase, to say, with impeccable intonation, "Sir, My Lord, Your Grace, this is our floor"
In an interview Hugh Laurie said they were given the choice by the producers as to who would play which role. Ultimately Stephen got Jeeves by virtue of being slightly taller!
9:23 "Is he being funny?" "No, he always talks like that." Laurie is truly a great actor. Jeeves out on the town, taking notes: "... and Josephine Baker really cooking with gas..." ☺
The rent of US$500 in this episode, at 21:00, compares to about US$8500 to US$9000 today. Curiously enough, that would be just about what such an apartment would do today. So, the rent has not gone up in real terms.
@@asterix811 The Coca Cola sign with the "white wave" underneath, which shows up sometimes, including in this episode at 35:43, is actually much later than that; as best I can tell, that design dates to 1969. That has irked me in several episodes (but not very much--I have better things to worry about).
This episode vaguely reminds me of Gilbert & Sullivan's musical play "Cox & Box." Still great fun, comedy of deception, but not malicious. Just helping a friend in a difficult situation.

Why is this not rated amongst the best British comedy series ever? It's a masterpiece!
Because season 3 sucks and there are two reasons for that: New Director and terrible recast.
I love jeeves and wooster but I was so dissapointed...
@@eemilsalms5092 season 3 is great you're out of your mind
Ha! In Sweden they only showed season 1. You should consider yourself lucky you are even able to talk about it

Yes, exactly! Thought yje same/ Really charming and quite touching.

Seeing Jeeves thoroughly enjoying the night life in NYC has truly made my day.
Hugh Laurie is irresistible when he's enjoying himself in front of the piano. nothing more attractive than a genuinely talented man! I see that he was already showing his jazzy talents here.
Rocky: I don't even get out of pajamas until 5 and then I just throw on a sweater
Jeeves: sitting on a stump, weeping
Poor Jeeves!! Just like the episode when he freaks out about the guy having horse shoes on his tie! hahahaha
Hilarious.
"The last time anything remotely interesting happened was in 1842, when a tree fell over... they still talk about it in the village"
Hugh Laurie's vacant, gormless, disbelieving look is down to a tee in this series. Seems like they were made to play these characters - Huzzah !
I just love the faces Bertie pulls, just adorable.
Me too. My favourite is in the scene on the coast of Cornwell when Barmy Fungy-Phipps (Martin Clunes) in black-face greets him and Bertie doesnt recognize one of his best friends just because he has some shoe-polish on his face.
Really enjoyed seeing Jeeves having a ball.
Yes, heart-melting stuff.
Jeeves had a wonderful time... all in the name of duty
yes he was so different from his usual self!

Both are fabulous so why choose
I like the little ways Bertie tries to take care of Jeeves

Fry and Laurie's finest hour. Makes a fellow proud to be British.
I dunno about that. Their comedy show was rather brilliant too, as was their performances together in Blackadder.
@@shugaroony As much as I love Wodehouse, you'll find no argument from me on that point.

Not being English, I love these stories about Bertie and his friends. Friends up here in Sweden think I'm mad.
Just hold on and ignore them ignorants. I'm not English either and I enjoy the series very much, too!
South African and I love this too. Big fan of anything Fry and Laurie
I am Russian and I watch these all the time! So does a lot of my friends and even my grandgrandma who is 85!

Brilliant. Stephen fry is perfect as Jeeves. Hugh suits Bertie with such finesse. You really take the characters to heart. Fantastic
The two of them together at the piano - they are killing me!!
This series never gets old. Sheer brilliance!
This series should be awarded for the exceptional music that underlines all episodes and by that, I don`t mean just Hugh`s playing.
The theme song alone is amazing.
"You got it"
"...I don't think I have..."
XD

The elevator operator seized the opportunity with a very minor role. Brilliant.
Omg i thought so too! How did he do that?
He WAS the best.
Quite an astute observation.
Yup. Totally agree!
Do you know who he is

Having grown up UK, and read every Wodehouse, up to 50/100, friends and I agree nothing could be closer from the tomes than Stephen and Laurie
Love this episode. It's great to see Jeeves get an opportunity to kick up his heels.
Jeeves playing piano ☺🤗😆with his eyes rolling 🙄❤
This is for sure my favourite episode! I don't think I've laughed so hard in my life. Thanks for uploading!
This is the only episode I can remember where Jeeves made two terrible miscalculations. But the way he manages to get away with it is hilarious. I love this episode.
I sometimes use Wooster's line, "Still, there it is" when tragedy strikes.
I could listen to Stephen Fry’s voice for hours. It’s so hypnotic. He could read the phone book and it would be wonderful

This episode is funny enough to be wicked. Again, the accents are a treat and the designs are perfect. The camerawork is magical. How?
Totally insane! One of the best. Love it!
So many good things about the New York episodes, but I would especially like to point out the lift attendant, who steals every single scene
Totally!!
Why do you think so?
READ THEM!!! P. G. Wodehouse!!
@@cslloverHe stands out in his way. Where the rest of the people shown are stiffer upper class British/American people. The liftboy shows that he is more streetwise. Without going over the line I say.
Remember when he opened the lift and had on Bertie's hat? Brilliant
The Americans are swooning over Jeeves! I know how they feel! I'd share a beer with you Jeeves!
Hugh Laurie plays the piano so unbelievably well. I would fall in love with him in an instant if he were to play Boogie Woogie in my presence❤
The world's most long suffering elevator operator.
free hat tho

And most handsome, my goodness!

@@andybird3956 Great movies
There is no other actor with such an expressive face as Hugh Laurie.
Rowan Atkinson might stand as a worthy competitor in that field.
Definitely a face made for comedy.
"No thank you, no, I shall just sit here quietly I think"
That last scene had so much Jooster my heart almost exploded.
Yes!!! This and the previous episode are deliciously slashy.
Fuck off.

These New York episodes & The Great Gatsby remind me of my trip to New York City.
Ah, these two together.. such magic :)
9:40 “A cup of coffee if you please.”
“You got it”
“I don’t think I have…”
Americans still can't speak English. But Laurie is an amazing pianist. You name it, he can play it.
I just love the way everything goes hideously SOUTH! Like a slow-moving train-wreck.
I love it how Jeeves shines in this episode.
This episode is one of the funniest of them all.

Oh my! This is easily my favourite episode so far!
10:44 when she slaps Jeeves... I don't think I've ever laughed as hard in my life
Very Good mam!
Slaps him, roguishly, should be the phrase. Otherwise, it might be thought that Jeeves had acted incorrectly. Which we can not have.
Sublime.
46:19 is the best face Stephen Fry has ever made!
This episode made me discover some great music by Pinetop Perkins, Meade Lux Lewis, Louis Jordan, Earl Hines, Albert Ammons among others.
I love the bit where they play the piano together!
3rd evening binge watching and remembering simpler times. Thanks so much. =o)
One of the best episodes! The whole general carry on and antics - All just to get away from Aunt Agatha.
"You want a shake with that?"
"No shall just sit here quietly thankyou." 😂
To paraphrase the Bard 'All's well and what not'. Shimmer on Jeeves!
Jeeves causing a complete mess lol, hilarious episode.

“ a most stimulating composition”, how many of us have our vocabularies completed by Jeeves?
Bertie really does need to learn to say NO sometimes.
Yes, his soft hearted nature lands him in hot water every time
Oh, he can say no sometimes, but not when it comes to really helping someone)))
But . . . but . . . where would we be if he ever did?
"Cole Porter's new musical "The Gay Divorce" opened last night."
Cool. That means this episode takes place in October of 1934.
