Michael Kluko Punch and Judy is full of death, torture and violence towards women. The wonder is not Bertie watching it, it is we once allowed children to watch it.

Haha, nice pun there!The original composition by Ralph Vaughan Williams is called the 'Lark Ascending'.Both of these are so harmonic,angelical and euphonious!
Yes! A magical moment indeed, made even more so by the unusual look on Jeeves' face, which seems perfectly matched, somehow, to the Vaughn Williams flavor.
Anne Dudley knew her composers and her music theories. No better way to evoke the moorland, heath, rolling countryside of pastures and lambs than something inspired by Vaughan Williams.
Chuffy: "Why didn't you tell me you have been engaged to Ms. Pauline Stoker?" Bertie: "What?? Look here old Chuffy, haha, the whole thing didn't last more than 48 hours from kick-off to final whistle!"
As much as I'm happy that Jeeves and Wooster are reacquainted, as a trombonist, the sight of that charred and mangled trombone at the end is one of the saddest I've seen. :(
Piano, organ, recorder, wannabe violinist, Chwismas twumpet (age 2) all abuses of instruments wound the heart and must be taken seriously. Capital punishment - especially to those nasty ho'wood producers who present a smashed stradivarius as HUMOR! Black hat to the lot of them!

The Foley work on the smack across the back of Dwight's head was very good. Really sounded like a good clout. Also, there are some great examples in this episode of Hugh's great skill at physical comedy.
Sure - all duty...nothing to do with having a naive and obliging boss, who vacays in Cap d'Antibes, treats him to a month in Cuba believing Jeeves is innocent of the mess from which J eventually tangles W., etc., etc....there is a mutual altriusm between the two gentlemen; however, Jeeves is working for Jeeves, and good luck with Bertie getting down the aisle before Jeeves is ready to retire...treason, stratagems and spoils, indeed!

In the unlikely event J becomes "collateral damage" from a Wooster accident, the fund then endows a Jeeves Chair at THE Ganymede Club.😅

There are a number of old stately homes which get re-used in various British tv shows and films. Highclere Castle for example is used for "Totleigh Towers" in J&W but is also Downton Abbey.
Trombone is a flat and sharp. Making machine .the slide is a temptation to inaccuratecty , and while blowing you twist and flayle around , it's very difficult to tame and impossible , mostly , to master .oh and it's loud , no mistake goes unnoticed ,, it's the hardest phisically to play ,
So far one of the funniest… love the portrayal of the "American Dad," it pissed me off at first but, then I caught on! The rest, shall we say is… gravy.
14:36 Bertie plays down Pauline’s beauty. A change from his telling Tuppy that Tuppy’s girl friend used to call Bertie ‘ her little sweetheart’. Could Bertie be getting smart?
Hard to believe this was 30 years ago. Timeless classic!
I love that Jeeves is the consumate snob & subtly encourages it all he comes in contact with. 😂
JC on a slice of toast! That's a shock. Seems like yesterday...
To whom ever uploaded these episode, I thank you warmly.
Amongst the very best television ever made. Fry and Laurie were made for each other.
They met via Emma Thompson and were friends at first sight
And made for these roles.
I saw a documentary where they said that they at first thought of Hugh as Jeeves. Imagine what weird alternate universe that'd be😁
Don't even think it.
i love the theme music. everything about this show is just done so perfectly.
I love the fact that there is a very real possibility that Jeeves himself has called pretending to be a disgruntled resident.

Just when I think the plot can't get any crazier, I'm wonderfully surprised that it does!
The violin solo while Jeeves makes Bertie’s morning tea at the end is a moment of Vaughan Williamsesque beauty ❤️
Edited for time stamp, starts 47:26
Couldn't agree more, beautifully understated piece of music.
Gorgeous wasn't it,Listened to it three times,2nd time dawned on me it was the same theme slower with a violin
Thank you for pointing it out. I missed it the first time.
Hauntingly beautiful. I keep watching it just to listen.
