2.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing after the first two volumes, February 23, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Wodehouse Playhouse - Series Three (DVD)

I loved the first two volumes of Wodehouse Playhouse, but the third is quite disappointing. To begin with, the wonderful Pauline Collins is missing, and the chemistry between her and John Alderton was priceless. Alas, no actress here comes up to Ms. Collins' zany delivery, and the results are flat. The writing has lost its edge as well, and even the timing seems off. Only "Mulliner's Buck-U-Uppo" comes near attaining the hilarious heights of the first two seasons. Completists will find it a necessity, but casual viewers should stick to the first two volumes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every Bit As Good As I & II, June 15, 2004

Sure, I love Pauline Collins too, but don't let the switch put you off this DVD set. The stories are every bit as funny as the first two volumes and in some respects better for having chosen some of the better P.G. Wodehouse stories. John Alderton is still worth the price of admission all by himself, but if you'll take my advice and come into the thing with an open mind, you might like the new girl very well as well.

2.0 out of 5 stars Without Pauline Collins pass on Wodehouse Playhouse, March 25, 2004

This review is from: Wodehouse Playhouse - Series Three (DVD)

I would not have bought this DVD if I had known that it was the sans Collins version. First I am a great fan of Wodehouse done well. The PBS Jeeves and Wooster was beautifully done. Playhouse 1 and 2 was in the main beautifully done. Just 2 or 3 weak stories. The Wodehouse series, when played by regular actors, has in essence, some rather dumb scenes and stupid stories. It is the talent of Collins and Alderton that brings a new dimension and makes it so enjoyable. Collins sense of the ridiculous, is superb and quite unique. She has some of the most terrible lines and somehow makes them unforgettable. She:"Pah!", He:"Did you say 'Pah'?", She: "Yes I said Pah. Pah! Pah! Pah!" What can any other actress do with lines like that. Alderton is excellent but Wodehouse is possible without Alderton. Without Collins these stories are not worth much.
