"Would you like to hear the rest of it?" "I wouldn't..like to put you to any trouble, sir." Jeeves is the bitchiest of bitchy queens. I'm sure Stephen Fry was channeling a few in this role; could not ask for a better casting.

He died in 1975. Didn't know of them. Plum really liked Dennis Price as Jeeves and Ian Carmichael as Bertie - but I think he would have loved Fry and Laurie if he'd seen them. You can hear Ian Carmichael sing What would I do without you, Jeeves? on RU-vid, I think. I think only one episode survives of the TV series of Price and Carmichael. All the rest were wiped in the 70's?

P.G. Wodehouse wrote a lot of lyrics for Broadway show tunes. This song, however, was written in 1928 by one Leslie Sarony, about whom I know nothing else. “Forty-Seven Ginger-Headed Sailors” was a hit in the late 1920s.

Excuse the late comment, but yes, Stephen Fry is quite tall at 6' 4¾" (1.95 m) and so I suppose it's the price of being extremely tall! 😅

@georgielancaster1356 2 года назад

I also discovered that Fry must have, every day of his life, visions of balding and dandruffy heads, whenever walking amongst people. He would see tops of heads, not faces - and I was in a rare situation to experience it - I am not tall - and I found it rather unattractive. I gaze up into people's faces, as a rule, but being in a rare situation of being 6" to 12" taller than more than 70% of the population around me, I was not impressed with what I gazed upon. In fact, I suddenly wished the practice of wearing hats, a la 1920's/30's, would come back immediately.

The USO is the UNited service Organization. Their main function was to entertain the troops. I don't know how strict they are since the USO is an independent organization and not part of the armed forces.

Why do I torment myself with such horrendous ideas? sheesh! 😭

@DayDreamBeliever1961 7 лет назад

Lately I've had an idea for a story where Bertie is very old (maybe in his eighties) and he's trying to get along on his own as Jeeves has predeceased him. He's inherited the title of Lord Yaxley and lives in the mansion. There's some sort of conflict involving his grand-nieces and nephews (dunno what yet) and he is visited by the ghost of Jeeves to help him sort it out.

I swear this dog is a Westhighland "westie" terrier. but Jeeves in the episode says that "one Aberdeen terrier is much like any other" and buys one for the crazy happenings later in the episode. According to a dog book that I own Aberdeen is an old name for what we call Scottie / Scottish terriers. I love this episode and this show and I love dogs so somehow I just would like someone else to concur or say otherwise about the dog. I love the dog reacting to Bertie's singing!

@@MrAlumni72 - Late to the conversation but I've had Scotties for 50 years including a wheaten (colored) Scottie. Aberdeen was the original name for a Scottie their place of origin. This is definitely a Westie, smaller, round face and not nearly as ornery as a Scottie (Scotties are tough with big teeth and bred to hunt badgers!). All were derived from the Cairn terrier...Westies, Scotties, Skye.
