So very sorry for the long gap between uploads! I've been having trouble with my internet connection. Enjoy! Jeeves and Wooster Season 3 Episode 5 Full:Sir Watkyn Basset's Memoirs Does not belong to me!
Long ago, when I was a young lad at university, I discovered some of Wodehouse’s works in the library. I knew of Bertie Wooster and Jeeves, but had never actually read any of the stories. I plucked one of the volumes from the shelf and sat on one of the settees in the library lobby to sample it. Thirty minutes later, I had quite literally fallen off the settee - twice - from laughing, and I was asked to check the book out and read it elsewhere because I was creating a nuisance for other library users.
Patrick Ellis me too, I love the music and animation and have even slowed ot down on youtube so I can see how the images change, it is a work of art! A perfect match for the actual episodes of course!
Just when you think that there are only so many ways that one can misinterpret the name "Jeeves", the subtitles pull another fresh one out of the kitchen like a shambolic waiter who can never get the order right. 1:04 - "The time, Bees." 1:45 - "Actually more that cheap chime, Jeans." 3:12 - "You don't disapprove, Jeez?" 12:52 - "That'll be all, Jesus." 13:11 - "Your Hardman, James." 43:37 - "Well, T's..." 45:11 - "Thank you, Chief." 47:55 - "Jeet!" 48:33 - "This is very sad, Cheese."
Madeleine: “Augustus isn’t a man of action like you.” Bertie: blush blush... Madeleine: “He is a man of intellect.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Great timing and what a punch!
really spode is so perfectly portrayed. A pompous hot headed toad like Mussolini the one moment and all friendly and nervously driveling the next xD "oh you say such amusing things wooster" haha cracks me up every time. Love's how Wooster plays of on him to. "it isnt all a bed of roses trying to be a dictator wooster" "why don't you give it up then" "I can't well how can I people expect it of me, my mother..." Reminds me of Kevin Spacey somehow.
Delightful morality comedy going on with Jeeves in this episode. He informs Bertie that he will not risk his freedom safe-cracking but then shows no compunction in whacking the explosives expert Bobby Oates . Genius television from start to finish. The books are brilliant but this is one of the few cases where the show outdoes the novels. In these odd 21st century times i find am incorporating elements of Jeeves and Wooster into my persona to feel the best of British🧐😞🤗
"I took the liberty of glancing through the volume and thought it might make an excellent remedy for insomnia" This has to be among the best ways of saying a book is boring as hell
Thanks for these-whenever I am feeling a bit down, I turn to "Wooster and Jeeves"-somehow their silliness brings me back up. British Comedy and Drama rule-none better ! If you want melancholy-turn to the Scandanavians- high state of the art egoism-go American. There you have it !
Another episode!!! !! The brains behind the contents, timing, splendor and energetic entertainment. Entertainment extremely rare. I shall return! > BRAVO!
You remember me asking you if Lady Florence reminded you of anyone Jeeves? Indeed I do sir. Well I just realized who it is, my aunt Agatha. that one had me cracking up :D
The actress did an excellent job of evoking that feeling from the moment she showed up. The later Florence was a bit softer than this one, I see why they called her Lady Caligula.
I also detect a hint of Lady Mary Crawley's personality as well. I wouldn't mind seeing a crossover series featuring both of them just to see who will win in a battle of banter and wits.
I really enjoyed this series. There is only one issue that I have and that's the actor's playing some of the recurring character's, changed. Madeleine, Fink Nottle, Steph, Florence etc. and some not for the better. Other than that, top notch stories and plenty of humour!
This is made even funnier because certain things are presented seriously - for example the violin playing woman was pretty good and the keyboard player. Which meant the joke was how the crowd reacted rather than making the playing farcically bad.
Highclere has been a popular filming location for a LOT of TV shows. It was also used in some Miss Marple TV episodes. You see the famous main staircase in "4:50 from Paddington".
Now, just who came first, the comedy character of "Mr. Bean" or Hugh Lauri's "Wooster" interpretations? P. G. Woodhouse is such a delight and so hilariously funny at times. So good for the soul
the contrast between "today's" Drones and all these lords is becoming pretty obvious , if it wasn't so earlier. meaning that they are the future version of Biffys, Bingos and what not. bertie has fine taste indeed jeeves won't destroy a manuscript but will thump a police officer?
well well, in comparison to Florence, Madeline here appears as being the sweet, charming, reasonable lady. I do recall Florence's character being the most awful out of the lot of women Bertie has been involved with - even surpassing that of Honoria. In fact, not even Honoria treated Bertie with such a demeaning attitude.
It takes a certain man to love a dominatrix such as Florence. Some men however find a scary domineering woman as her incredibly endearing, like a terrifying goddess such as Athena or Ishtar.
I always had a slight soft spot for Honoria. A friendly athletic country girl type with none of the horrific deviousness of Stiffy or Florence or Bobbie, and not a catastrophic dippy drip like Madeline.
The women and the girls in the Wooster-Jeeves canon tend to be real ball-busters. They own the guys. They rule. And to think in other works, particularly the earlier pre-farce stuff, Wodehouse created some admirable, resilient, women protagonists full of character.
Yes, they do serve their purpose. And. even compared to the women in his early work, they are admirable in a way. They are tough. They know what they want, and they aim to get it.
@@LoneKharnivore They are not ‘evil to the core’! Just funny, shallow and self-absorbed. But go to the Drones, and you will see they have no monopoly on that.
Vikram Radhakrishnan Jeeves is the most calculating and manipulative character in the series, but I suppose that's different, isn't it? How dare that evil woman want to marry the man she's in love with? Manipulation should only be used for noble ends, like convincing your master to get rid of a hat you don't like.
It is part of the comic conceit of Wodehouse's novels that upper-class men are all gormless dullards who are consequently open to manipulation by scheming or imperious women (aunts, wives, fiancees, etc.) and by their social inferiors. A comic inversion of social realities, if you like.
duccio agreed, this rather mildly sexist outlook of fans of this show on women in this series annoys me when in fact near all individuals have their flaws, regardless of genitalia
@@risenshine2783 A chamois cloth woven from the soft throat hair of goats from the mountains of cashmere (Kashmir) will achieve the required effect, I believe sir.
the one true doddze - not me. I would never have made it to Berty's age as I almost died when I was a child of a disease. Were it not for antibiotics - which did not exist in the form I required - I would have died at 2 or 3 years of age. When people pine for the 'good ole days', they usually gloss over the reality of the time. But I get your meaning. It does look like a fun kind of life.
@@rachelr-j96 To be fair he did portray men as one dimensional as well. It's a comedy series, you see, meant to parody the two sexes. And in this sense he captured it very well, not just the over-emotional girls or the overbearing bitches, but also the smug twats and cowardly cunts among the men. Great portrayals, I should say.
Lady Florence dressing down the staff at 48:30. Are you a Footman or an Osler? Oslers where also mentioned in an episode of Rumpole Of The Bailey ...G...
Oh Jeeves how could you - one surely does NOT dust a car without water: You are runining the laquering - and you SHOULD know better!! And why does Floence not wear her hair as it was it was customary in nice waves? She looks like she experienced a perm gone bad.
Does anybody know what the piece of music played by the violinist at 51:06 is? It appears to be called 'Destiny' but I'm finding it hard to read the name of the composer/arranger, or anything else on the cover.
I do not know the name of this piece but, it sounds remarkably similar to the theme of "Around The World In Eighty Days", the David Niven version. And I would also like to know its title and who composed it. I dont think it is called Destiny as the book of music on the stand is quite thick and appears to have many scores in it. I'm also interested in the piece played on the piano immediately before the violin piece. It is familiar. Pity it's not in the credits. I bet Stephen Fry or Hugh Laurie could identify them. Any J & W fans who know. Cheers
just love deze gyz....da best comedians r frm england...in doze times....da black adder series,fawlty towerz,are you being served,jeeves nd wooster....mind your language..,,later on da thin blue line...ohh i cant forget allo allo....thank you for uploading diz one....u got good taste...
LoneKharnivore You can also stop acting like you are the Gatekeeper of the RU-vid comment section. You don’t know why they wrote the comment that way, they perhaps chose to write in short-hand to save time or English may not be their native language . Whatever the reason may be your comment was uncalled for.
Wasn't Bertie's uncle the one who was writing the memoirs, how did it change to Bassette? Also, didn't know Florence and Bassette were cousins. The way they keep changing the characters, it's really difficult to get a continuity. Bertie's voice is really wonderful and although the story isn't the same as in the book, this version is really funny
the video stopped at 7:44 and will not continue. There is a circular sort of thingy going round and round, but even though I click it, it won't go. What to do?
