Thank you very much for finding these! I find it surprising that I remember these quotes from the 90s Hugh Laurie and Steven Fry television adaptation 'Jeeves and Wooster' - few TV programmes are faithful enough to their original book to include the dialogue verbatim!
- detourdog 3y agoThat series was my introduction and it was truly brilliantly done. I consider must watch TV. They managed to preserve everything but the exact context of the story. Fry and Laurie is what makes that show work. I'm not sure anyone else could pull it off. I have seen other adaptations. B&W movies and such and the magic is lost. That series is an exception that proves the rule. I once tried to read him and found it difficult but the audio books ended being a good listen and available on YouTube. What the books seem to reveal is just how central Wodehouse is to modern comedy. There are obvious Wodehouse references in Seinfeld. Such the surname VanDelay.
