Description:
To millions of devoted fans, P.G. Wodehouse's "Jeeves and Wooster" stories are a delightful obsession, an irresistible and irreverent romp through the drawing rooms of Edwardian England's tweedy elite. Now, these comic masterpieces come to life in acclaimed productions directed by Simon Langton (UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS, PRIDE & PREJUDICE). The extraordinary cast features Hugh Laurie (Sense & Sensibility, Strapless) as the well-meaning but dim aristocrat Bertie Wooster and Stephen Fry (A Fish Called Wanda, Peter's Friends) as Jeeves, his hilariously arch and resourceful valet. Included in this collector's set are six Wodehouse gems:Jeeves Saves the Cow Creamer; A Plan for Gussie; Pearls Mean Tears; Jeeves in the Country; Kidnapped; Jeeves the Matchmaker.

Pelham Grenville Wodehouse's immortal characters are brought to glorious life in this hilarious series starring Hugh Laurie as the chinless but charming Bertie Wooster and Stephen Fry as his valet and frequent savior, Jeeves. Superb period detail, performers who seem to have been born for these roles, and a hearty helping of Wodehouse wit make these shows essential viewing for anyone in search of a sophisticated chuckle.
This collection comprises the second season of this delightful show, including the following six episodes: "Jeeves Saves the Cow-Creamer," "A Plan for Gussie," "Pearls Mean Tears," "Jeeves in the Country," "Kidnapped!," and "Jeeves the Matchmaker." --Simon Leake

This humorous series always makes me wonder... WHY do so many women WANT to be engaged to Bertie Wooster?
Anyways, this is a great series. The scene where the village judge talks about "providing assumed names" is priceless! The costumes, the scenary and the acting all contribute to making this a great program, but of course it is Wodehouse's writing which clinches this as an awesome show (even though some liberty has been taken with his work).
Well worth finding!

Ah, but the best, the very best part of Jeeves making Bertie's tea at the final scene of "Jeeves in the Country" is the sly Ralph von Williams (Lark Ascending) spin on the theme song in the background. I was laughing hysterically.
As a devoted reader, who was so very reluctant to go to video, I was finally smitten with the rumminess of the medium. What ho! Stephen Fry and the producers won my heart with this scene!

Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry return as the scatterbrained aristocrat and his brainy butler in the second season of "Jeeves and Wooster." The series based on P.G. Wodehouse's classic novels is almost as funny as the books, with the goofy characters and tangled storylines... which are always untangled by Jeeves.
Totleigh Towers is not a friendly place for poor Bertie Wooster. But when he accidently loses his uncle's cow creamer to Sir Watkyn, he finds himself being enlisted to get the creamer ... Read More

These six episodes are best described as great, great, great, great, great, and so-so. The humor is excellent. Hugh Laurie is very much fun to watch. And they hold up well under repeated viewing.
I read that Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry ... close friends since their college days at Cambridge (where they were introduced to each other by none other than Emma Thompson) ... were reluctant to accept the "Jeeves and Wooster" roles ... but the high quality of the writing made them take a second ...

First off, as a die-hard fan of P.G. Wodehouse, I am critical at best. The First season surpassed my wildest dreams, in short, it was excelent. The second season fell short, however, inasmuch as many of the characters previously introduced in the first season were reintroduced being played by entirely different actors. That was semidisapointing. Also, some of the acting is a little less Wodehouse-y then in the first. I was delighted with Gussie once again, though, and I would still recomend buying it; its ...
