Based on the stories by P.G. Wodehouse. "Delightful" - Daily Mail (U.K.); "An engaging tribute to the master of polished, joyous foolishness" - The Guardian (U.K.). Starring John Alderton and Pauline Collins.
A deft writer of daft protagonists, P.G. Wodehouse has delighted fans with his razor-sharp wit and marvelously madcap plots for over a century. This sparkling BBC series brings 20 of his hilarious tales to life with Oscar nominee Pauline Collins (Shirley Valentine) and real-life husband John Alderton (Upstairs, Downstairs) playing Wodehouse's uproarious eccentrics. The celebrated writer-still twinkling with comic mischief in his 90s-offers introductions to the first seven stories.
