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.

When Chuffy's fiancée, wealthy American heiress Pauline Stoker, notices that a stranger with a red beard is following her, she turns to our man Bertie for protection. Bertram returns to Chuffnell with Pauline (and Jeeves, of course) only to be dragged into an extremely complicated series of misadventures. Quelle surprise! Before long Bertie finds himself trapped on the Stokers' yacht, and his only hope of rescue comes in the form of a band of banjo-playing drones. With a plot thicker than a whale omelet, Jeeves has his work cut out to save the day this time. --Simon Leake

Product 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 snooty drawing rooms of Edwardian England’s tweedy elite. Now A&E Home Video brings Wodehouse’s comic masterpieces to life, teaming director Simon Langton (Pride and Prejudice) with an extraordinary cast, including Hugh Laurie (Blackadder, Strapless) as the well-meaning but dim aristocrat Bertie Wooster and Stephen Fry (A Fish Called Wanda) as Jeeves, his hilariously arch and resourceful valet. The wealthy American J. Washburn Stoker effectively kidnaps Bertie, alleging improprieties between him and daughter Pauline (Chuffy Chufnell’s putative bride). Dressed as black-faced minstrels, Bertie’s chums, along with Jeeves, spring him from his stateroom prison, but their rollicking escape into a fancy wedding celebration lands them back in front of a magistrate--none other than Chuffy himself!

5.0 out of 5 stars J and W review, May 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Jeeves & Wooster: Kidnapped [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Jeeves and Wooster are by far the most witty and downright hilarious British comedies ever created. If you love intelligent, yet easy-to-follow humor; Jeeves and Wooster is for you.
