TV Shows - Jeeves and Wooster

Jeeves and Wooster is a British comedy television series adapted by Clive Exton from P.G. Wodehouse's "Jeeves" stories. The series was produced by Picture Partnership Productions for Granada Television and screened on the ITV network from 1990 to 1993. It starred Hugh Laurie as Bertie Wooster, a jovial but empty-headed young gentleman, and Stephen Fry as Jeeves, his improbably well-informed and talented valet. The stories are set in Britain and the United States in the pre-Second-World-War 20th century (there are aspects of the Edwardian era, 1920s, and 1930s). Wooster is a well-to-do bachelor, a minor aristocrat and member of the idle rich. He and his friends, who are mainly members of The Drones Club, are aided in all manner of societal adventures by the indispensable "gentleman's personal gentleman," Jeeves. Wodehouse drew the themes of his plots, which concern the entangled love lives of the major characters, from classical New Comedy. An element of the television show not present in the books is Wooster's skill as a pianist. Several scenes in the show feature Laurie playing a humorous song and, occasionally, Fry joining in for a duet.
