Although each Jeeves and Wooster episode is a real gem, "Jeeves the Matchmaker" stands out as a masterpiece. The memorable Wodehouse characters included in this episode are Bobbie Wickham (who is, as Bertie says, "chock-ful of both fizz and ginger"), Bingo Little (who is in love AGAIN), Tuppy Glossop (who is single again after telling his fiance - Bertie's cousin Angela - that she looked like a racoon in her new hat), and Bingo's uncle, Lord Bittlesham -- plus a newcomer, a Irish Wolfhound named Patrick. Although Bertie usually abhors the thought of marriage, in this episode he decides that he is lonely and wants to marry Bobby Wickham. However, Bertie changes his mind after a horrible experience he has at a girl's school. While convincing his master that marriage is not a good idea and that young girls are "absolute fiends," Jeeves also finds time to un-attach Tuppy from the clutches of a "corn-fed" country girl while re-attaching him to Bertie's cousin Angela, while at the dame time finding a way to break up Bingo's engagement to a tea shop waitress named Mabel whom Jeeves wants to marry himself. If you want some good, clean, hilarious fun that perfectly blends wit with physical comedy, I highly recommend this, or any other, Jeeves and Wooster episode.
