This early 90's British comedy-drama promises to give you a new dilemma at the start of each episode and a happy ending at the closing of each episode. It illustrates British aristocracy of the late 1920's and early 1930's. The production value is magnificent with fantastic locations, a wonderful wardrobe and cars that befit the era.
The casting of Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie in the title characters was perfect; since they are friends and have done previous comedy together they play of each other with incredible ease. Mr Laurie is perfect as Bertie Wooster with his musical talent shining through and Mr Fry as Jeeves the valet (gentleman's gentleman) shows his intellectual acting abilities.
At the end of series four you are sad to see the show end with its wonderful and foolish characters. You won't be able to see more of Wooster's crazy antics and Jeeves's ingenious plans and schemes. You also realize that with all the characters and their different relations or acquaintances to the title characters that the valet Jeeves and his gentleman Wooster had the best and closest partnership or friendship, a bond which you were invested in and wish you could witness longer.
The show is an adaptation of stories written by P.G. Wodehouse, unfortunately this reviewer have not read any of his stories and therefore cannot give commentary on the relation between the television show and the short stories.
Recommend this show to everyone who wants some lighthearted comedy with a fantastic English vocabulary.
