Michael Hordern stars as Jeeves with Richard Briers as Bertie in a BBC Radio full-cast dramatization. It is the stuff of nightmares for Bertie as he is hauled back to Totleigh Towers and the whole loony crew of Madeline, Gussie, Roderick Spode, Stiffy Byng and the dog Bartholomew—stiff upper lip, Jeeves.

Review
Christopher Buckley author of Little Green Men It is impossible to be unhappy while reading the adventures of Jeeves and Wooster. And I've tried.
Kurt Andersen author of Turn of the Century Wodehouse can be extremely funny, of course, and Bertie and Jeeves are echt-Englishmen, but the surprising and surpassing pleasure of these books is their cheerful humanity. Reading Wodehouse always makes me feel good.
David Foster Wallace author of Brief Interviews with Hideous Men Timelessly funny and mean. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

First Sentence
I MARMALADED a slice of toast with something of a flourish, and I don't suppose I have ever come much closer to saying "Tra-la-la" as I did the lathering, for I was feeling in mid-season form this morning. Read the first page

Format:Audio CD
This is one of a series of audio books of P G Wodehouse novels, read by Jonathan Cecil.
I've heard several of the audio books in this series; all that I've heard are excellent. Jonathan Cecil handles Wodehouse's prose really well. He does a very good job of voicing all the various characters in the books.
If you iike the Jeeves and Wooster books, you'll like the way they're read in this audio book series featuring Jonathan Cecil.

Format:Audio CD
Once again the BBC shows the rest of the world how to produce brilliant radio drama. All members of the cast, headed by Richard Briars and Michael Hordern, attack their respective roles with gusto. Briars' comic timing is impeccable and Hordern produces multiple shadings of emotions and meaning from the single word "sir".

Previous: How Right You Are, Jeeves (Jeeves in the Offing)
This volume of the series sees young Bertram Wooster deeper in the soup than ever before, when his desperate measures to salvage the floundering Fink-Nottle/Bassett romance fail utterly. Although Jeeves's solutions are always brilliant, this one is probably the most ingenious (and for a moment, shocking) of them all. While the plot is beginning to feel a bit contrived (it is, after all, basically the same as all the others), there are always enough eccentric characters (notably Captain Plank, who has Bertie nailed as a villain named Alpine Joe), lively interaction between the two principals (this time over a blue alpine hat with a pink feather), and wonderful, Woosterian language to keep us laughing along the way. Not the best of the lot, but certainly good enough!
Next: Jeeves and the Tie that Binds (Much Obliged, Jeeves)
