The Official Granada Soundtrack CD "The World of Jeeves and Wooster", which included compositions by Anne Dudley and performances of period tunes, featuring Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, was released in the UK by EMI (Catalog Number: CDP 7 990102 2), but is long out of print.

I love the story "Bertie Changes His Mind", that this episode is partly based on. It's the only one of the whole canon told by Jeeves, and we get a first-hand view of his extremely devious manipulations. All in Bertie's long-term best interests, of course. But along the way Jeeves seems to get way too much pleasure out of seeing Bertie squirm. What is with these two? Just get out the handcuffs already, old beans.

To be sure, sir, Mr Jeeves' machinations were never without benefit to himself, though I would never endeavour to suggest that he was ever disinterested in Mr Wooster's well-being.

(For clarification, the story covers Bertie giving the "speech" to the girls' school, as well as some events that only happen in print, such as Jeeves preventing Bertie from bolting before the speech by pretending that the car requires repair.)

What I enjoyed so much about the books was this kind of description: 'Jeeves shimmered into the room.' You can see him doing just that, as if he's moving on rails, at 2:18. So well done.

They try to do that sometimes in the show. Earlier, when Sir Roderick Glossop, thinks he hears a cat, and calls for Jeeves, Jeeves just pops into the picture, with no warning. Think they were trying to suggest the shimmer effect.

Actually, most of them have too little money. In this unspecified period after the First World War, these young men in spats (just too young to have been conscripted) all seem to be dependent on rich uncles for an allowance on which they are meant to live, and which many of them promptly place on Greased Lightning or Ballyrush in the 2:30 at Cheltenham, on the assurance from some acquaintance or other that this horse absolutely cannot lose ...
It is never made clear, but it must be assumed that the absence of so many fathers (and the resulting dependence on uncles for financial support) is because they died during the war. Bertie's own parents are both dead, but he (unlike so many of his friends) inherited a large amount of money when he came of age.

At 6:37, Bingo takes Bertie to show-off his latest love interest Mabel. She works at the 'Aerated Bread Co'. The tea-room/bakery/restaurant actually existed as a large chain. These tearooms provided the first public places where women could eat, alone or with women friends. And the loaves of bread we see were the first to introduce carbon dioxide gas instead of fermentation claiming perfect cleanliness & automation.

In the book, Bingo orders a cup of cold cocoa, slice of veal and ham pie, piece of fruit cake, and macaroon. Offers Bertie the same, but the old tum is revolted.

Bertie studies the menu, and finally settles on a small roll with coffee as the only items on the menu that seem not to have been prepared by some of the nastier-minded members of the Borgia family for people they had a special grudge against.

At even the simplest things, like tying a tie, or turning down a bed, or whatever. I could maybe, as a Wooster, enjoy such pampering for the duration of a paid holiday, yes, but constantly? All my life? I'd feel so embarrassed in front of a Jeeves eventually! Ok, for Jeeves, he gets to have a paid job.....oh well, I guess these days people have maids; I guess it's the same thing. Ok.

thebeauty of these versions is Fry and Laurie play their parts so well. laurie is perfect as the gormless Wooster and though Fry is nowhere near old enough to play the original Jeeves from the books, he carries the part so well that you simply don't notice.

SPOILER: This episode boiled two Wodehouse stories together into the Bingo Little tale.
In the original story, Bertie is exposed as an impostor by Bingo's beloved Mabel, who is the real author of those books, Rosie M. Banks. She was working as a waitress as research for her next novel, and never told Bingo her true identity (proving a well-to-do chump really could fall for a working class girl). As far as Bingo was concerned, she was the real Tabasco, and he gave up his falling-in-love-at-first-sight ways, and they got married.

+Jim O'Donnelly Actually, you're confusing TWO Bingo Little tales. The first one was with Mabel, who is revealed to be Jeeves' love interest, and the SECOND one is actually Rosie M. Banks (yes, another waitress), at which point Wooster is revealed as an impostor.

Wow! After a long separation from the novels I chanced to hit upon these episodes on the YouTube. What a wonderful creation -- the title music and all. If only they had subtitles for the benefit of viewers having difficulty in following foreign accent.

Kevin Lawton

@N C I don't think that it is a case of snobbishness. Given that this is an English series, spoken in about as 'correct' an accent as you can get - known as 'received pronounciation' - then in which of the many possible foreign languages would you suggest the subtitles should be in ? I would not be surprised if it were already available with subtitles in some of the more popular languages, such as German and French, already.

N C

5y↑3

Unecessarily snobbish reactions to a perfectly legitimate request. For some of us, children of the former subjects of the "great empire" , English might not be our first language and a British accent difficult to grasp. It's perfectly reasonable to ask for subtitles in such a case. His choice of words in stating the English accent to be a foreign accent might not have been judicious, however, if a foreigner spoke my mother tongue, I would do everything in my power to help them out instead of being rude to them.

Kevin Lawton

The episodes are not in a foreign accent, they are in English. No subtitles required.

The accent, Sir, is widely regarded as 'the English accent'.

This always happens to Bertie. An ordinary, decentish gentry chap, but people look at him and see what they want to see. Sir Watkyn Basset sees him as a petty criminal, Daughter Madeleine sees him as a noble soul yearning for a love that can never be ( her), Wannabe dictator Spode sees him as a Raffles-like society crook, AND a cad and bounder, a butterfly who toys with women’s hearts and lightly dusardsem, like a soiled glove.

These people are just projecting what they themselves think and have seen on Bertie. He is a sort of human Rorschach blot.

Hahahaha! Nope, he's not a drama queen at all.Jeeves's aim is propriety. A gentleman does not wear plus-fours at dinnertime. Jeeves has taken upon himself the task of keeping alive the traditions of sobriety, elegance and earnestness. Is he a hidebound conservative? Of course! And that's why I love him: relentless, unflinching in the face of chaos.

Not so sure this is satire either. It might just be social observation.

So funny. Since Stephen Fry is gay, it always cracks me up how he says "I was not wholly averse to the severance of my relation to Miss Watson"

How hard is it to make an inspiring speech? Even charlatans are having trouble doing it professionally these days.

Now that was furniture! Oh, the days! And the clothes, too! But, what about the Dickinsonian poor?

At this point, up to 1920’s, they had never had it so good. A dip in the depression of the 1930’s of course - and that war. But after that, things continued to get better. Encouraging.

32:22 So, a bit of funy coincidence and trivia and whatnot...Tubby is played by Robert Daws, who would later play in The Royal series as no other, than Dr. Ormerod.
