unlike some tv shows these days where women wear trouses years and years before that was ever allowed in public, let alone at work or when in uniform. or when they show women wearing ill-fitting clothes, in a time when everthing was tailored to the edge of breathtaking, the comfortable slouch is a very recent fashion item.
😁😄😅🤣This episode hasn't a laugh break! I'm archiving it for therapeutic retrieval whenever I find myself leaning towards becoming morose about ANYTHiNG: LiFE is Too SHORT!👌
Best opening credits sequence in the history of TV! Captures the period and the whimsy of the stories perfectly! Still looks & sounds great 30 years later.
Absolutely what a treat how enviable and wouldnt have been lovely to ride in one of those my grand pa and grandma owned one of those a rolsroyce an 6 seater and they’ d go for country rides and throw parties and my grandma was an excelent cook and they had one of those lovely old mansions not a overly big one but a suburban size with upstairs and palm trees and ferns at either side of the steps then in WW2 they lost it all they were sheltering jews and then they were ratted on by some ( better not say what Iam thinking ) and were put in a german prison camp anyway lucky they survived but the Jewish family didn’t unfortunately anyway they were human rights activists in their time in those days they were called humanists it was rather incredible time obviously my grand father was a Lithographer and a clever artist as well anyway great for the people who had money and dreadful for the poor like my mothers family but they all looked fabulous because they made their own clothes saved up for a few luxury items like her earings and necklaces allthough my father bought her some beautiful Jewellery and clothes which she loved they allways looked fabulous right up till their old age thanks for that comment it got me started iam 82 now and a lot of memories go through my head 🙂⭐️🌸👋🌺🍀🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🌻🌻🌈🌈☔️☔️🌹🙏💟☮️☸️🕉️have a good life a healthy one and lots of happiness 🥰
Jeeves: "As long as Lady Florence remains unattached there is always the danger of her turning her attentions toward you again, Sir. She becomes what is known in nautical terms as a 'loose cannon'." I really can't get enough of this.
The Wooster & Jeeves books by PG Wodehouse are an absolute delight. His turn of phrase and timing are nothing less than masterful. A true pleasure to read.
@@sueedwards9334 If Bertie marries, Jeeves will have not just one more dotty person to handle, but soon a half a dozen dotty children as well... 😳 🤾🤾♀️🤾♂️🤸🤸♂️🤸♀️
I once met Jean Heywood who played Aunt Dahlia in this episode. She was a charming and down to earth lady to talk to. She was very small and dinky which made her even more appealing. I told her how much I had enjoyed When The Boat Comes In - a series the dialogue of which had to be adapted so that the rest of the country could understand it. It was funny and moving simultaneously. And like these Wodehouse gems a landmark in British T.V.
@@cruisepaige Why do you hope that? It’s not like it’s commonly used where I live, I see nothing wrong with not knowing something, it happens to everyone.
@@upandit9 chechi pazhe English comedy oke kano. Me too! Love Wooster. And Laurie, what an actor!👌 I knew him more as House. How he pulls that American accent off I don't know
when i was younger i was convinced that Bertie was extremely stupid, but rewatching the series makes me realise that he does have quite immense intelligence, he just applies it in the wrong way so many times 😭
Love the exchange between Wooster and Cheesewright @19:30: "I shall break your spine in FOUR places." "Four? you said three last night." "Well its four now." "are you going too [Worschestshire]?" "No I'm not! Talk sense man! I'm growing a mustache--I'm not going out at all while it's sprouting!"
If you were a member of the Royal Navy and got permission to grow a beard (moustaches alone are not allowed), you would find that you were confined to ship for a fortnight until the beard was long enough to look respectable!
Bertie using his friends/peers as marriage shields. Bertie's friends/peers always asking him to pinch things ever since he got caught stealing a policeman's helmet.
Watching the whole series - S04 E3 was my favorite until about 30 minutes ago. This is my new fave. Aunt Dahlia is a trip! Her willingness to drop all propriety and correctness and go along with whatever Jeeves suggests - and the bit with Mr. Burwash and Bertie with the vase - hilarious! But even better is "Daphne" - oh my gosh - probably Fry's best performance as Jeeves. And the scene with Stilton is priceless! Also love the look on Gorringe's face at 46:25 - so comical.
Jeeves is incredible. He has to play an American woman and as if it's not a challenge enough he still has time to tell Bertie off for his silly moustache.
Just started watching Gosford Park. Great ensemble cast, including Stephen Fry. Scene one, recognized Hall Barn right off the bat. That's Aunt Dahlia's place, Brinkley Court in season 4. Then they all pull in at Wrotham Park, Chuffy Chuffnell's place.
18:19 was a brilliant touch! Jeeves stands away from the door to reveal that lunatic standing with legs wide apart and the look of a murderous army officer on his face. Whoever directed this had the brilliance of Wodehouse himself!
At 45:50 - Bertie's transformation reminds me of Monty Python. Too darn funny! He looks like Michael Palin. Remember A Fish Named Wanda? Palin's face when the Dobermans took off with a small dog! I was almost dead from laughter. One of the funniest movie scenes ever!
You had a close call then. Word is, a man did die laughing while watching A Fish Called Wanda, at the time of its original run. There ARE worse ways to go I suppose...
That's because the humor is derived from the character herself and Jeeves being ripped out of his comfort zone and playing her masterfully anyway rather than any cheap shots or a sense of "lol that's a man in a dress ha ha".
The humour of the scene with Cheesewright punches up. The butt of the joke is men who (like Cheesewright) try to intimidate women into having sex with them. When Jeeves knocks Cheesewright onto his back at the end of the scene, he symbolically takes revenge for every woman who has ever had to escape from a situation just like this.
He's definitely in love with daphne , Bertie never ' introduces" himself to her. And she knew his name, he didn't catch that. Anyways I love this episode! " aren't you a little naughty sometimes?' Haha
Unless you were among the millions making all of this actually happen, in which case it was cramped stinking two up two down houses with no gas or electricity, toxic smog and a top pay rate of a couple of quid (now £120) a week.
While Laurie & Fry do a great job w the series..the BBC Radio version w Richard Briers & Michal Hordern is remarkable too. Briers with his fast paced delivery conveys Woodhouse quips in a meaningful way. I feel I'm right there experiencing the fun storylines in the 20s & 30s!!
@@LoneKharnivore Is it supposed to be? Over the top fiction needn't be rooted in reality. Especially comedy. Reminds me of a couple of episodes of Frasier, like The Ski Lodge. Completely silly (and hilarious).
Actually, in the book, Bertie steals the pearls by accident. He was supposed to be stealing Aunt Dahlias pearls from the safe and got 'Trotter's' by mistake.'
Bertie Wooster sings @ 1:48 the first line of the Kashmiri Song: Pale Hands I Loved Beside the Shalimar. Also sung by Rudolph Valentino in The Sheik. Love it!!
@@eduardo_corrochio Read you muppet, I didn't say that show is stupid. I watch it because actors are great, and overall the stories are too, but sometimes they are too much naive, way too much. But the acting excellence of Fry and Laurie, and the all team is something to behold.
Oh, what a ham is Cheesewright! Following his threats of harm to Bertram, there is a musical imitation of the breakage of a spine in several places 9:36 - 3 places. 19:29 - 4 places. 24:12 - 5 places. 36:04 - oh, dear--He was about to make it 6. :D
Playing for "best out of six" in darts. 😂 And thinking that another even number, such as best out of eight, rather than an odd number, might help them to not come to a draw next time. That's hilarious!
"6 games? 8 games? 10 games? " I love how Jeeves responds without saying the obvious of playing an odd number of games. He played his gentleman's gentleman role well.
