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.

In "Pearls Mean Tears" Bertie takes a seaside vacation with the dreaded Aunt Agatha, who continues her efforts to marry him off to the proper sort of girl. Sometimes, however, appearances can be deceptive, and when the aged A's pearls are purloined, everyone is under suspicion. If that weren't enough, Biffy Biffen is in town and as confused as ever--this time he's managed to get engaged to two different women. Of course it's up to Jeeves to unmask the thieves, straighten out the romantic entanglements, and save the day once again. --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. Off on holiday with his indomitable Aunt Agatha, Bertie is paired with the supposedly genteel Aline Hemmingway. But when Agatha’s pearls disappear, Jeeves becomes suspicious and launches his own investigation. Meanwhile, Bertie’s absent-minded friend Biffy Biffen is promised to both a chorus girl and the lady Honoria Glossop. Jeeves’ solution is highly theatrical.

This review is from: Jeeves & Wooster: Pearls Mean Tears [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Bertie recieves an unexpected call from Aunt Agatha to join her at Westram On Sea. To Bertie's indignation his aunt has led him there to meet a potential wife and her charming curet brother.... More is at foot and this particular story has an excellent sub plot tieing in Jeeves niece and Berties good friend "Biffy". As ever Jeeves provides the super dry wit and a 'satisfactory conclusion to the proceedings'! BUY IT
