😁😄😅🤣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.

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.
@@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
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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...
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
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 😭
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.
@@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.

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!
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
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!!
«I thought for a moment that a caterpillar might have lost its bearings»….. I almost choked at that one!

AGREE 100%
Fry's acting as Daphne is excellent. The part where Cheesewright tries to get fresh, 'her' outraged reaction is so funny.
"I'm not that kind of a girl."
"What sort of a girl are you, then?"
"Well, I think you might be just awfully surprised..."

Cant get enough of Jeeves & Wooster.
"You don't know how important my spine is to me. I'm very attached to it!"
“London’s full of chaps who look like me. There’s a fellow called Ephraim Gatsby who’s my absolute double.”HAHA
Fry and Laurie are the best combination ever.
The look Bertie gives Jeeves when Aunt Dahlia says little Beryl is “in trouble.” 🤣

This is one of the funniest episodes of this delightful series.
Love Jeeves and Wooster!
The soup episode!
😂😅😁
There is something incredibly relaxing and wholesome rewatching this.
I loved this series, it was utterly madly British humour at its silliest.
‘It’s a scandal that Mr Trotter has never been recognised!’ ‘I recognised him straight away!’ Classic Bertie Wooster 😂

"She's slapped him on the back. Now she's helping him up." lmao Aunt Agatha is a badass!
Aunt Dahlia. (Aunt Agatha would be far more dangerous.)
Mr Laurie is such a handsome man. Seeing him in these elegant clothes all through the series doesn't exactly hurt :-D
Lisa Boisen hear hear! In blackadder he played a similar role but something about him more so in this.
Love it
Nothing like the full soup and fish to decorate a man!

This is probably my favorite Jeeves and Wooster episode. It’s so hilarious through and through!
My childhood reading - just wonderful fun! The best of British!
Poor Bertie he was always being cajoled into helping others and getting into trouble himself.
👒👗💄👠 Jeeves in "drag" and acting effeminate receives an honorary mention from me. His acting as Daphne was extraordinary. Bravo! 🎭
Oh my god, the whole time, I thought they were talking about a dance tournament. This is why I need subtitles...
I do enjoy seeing Jeeves get into the soup from time to time. Most amusing.
Laurie and Fry ARE Wooster and Jeeves!

Dahlia's always been the best character. I suspect she had a wild youth.
Gosh I hadn't seen this show in years, it's incredible I'm so glad it holds up.
Also Stephen Fry was Gorgeous

I usually find cross dressing comedies tedious, but Jeeves as not only a woman, but an American socialite of the time... Priceless.
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".
Drag is classic British humour. Shakespeare often played with the fact that men were playing women dressing as men.
Watch Blackadder Goes Forth man.

The Trotters are so well observed.
And Jeeves in drag is excellent.

Stilton Cheesewright - Roderick Spode in training!
Stilton is positively BARKING.
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
Fry in drag is the tonic I needed today!
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 😭
hahahaha Jeeves in drag. I can't stop laughing. 🤣
I like the idea running through this story. Showing how rampant and aggressive some men can be when left alone with a woman. Jeeves knows this!
36:43 the look on Cheesewright's face hearing that Daphne likes him better sans mustache!!!🤣
He can pull off any gender flawlessly
Aunt Dahlia always seems to be getting Bertie to pilfer something...last time it was a picture
Oh, for the age of ocean liners, art deco, top hats, woolen top coats and scads of money to toss about, assuming one had it to toss!

Dead.
"If that doesn't leave me without a stain on my character, well, then I don't know what it does leave me without a stain on."
Bertie is just adorable.
Hahaha so hilarious.... She becomes... What we call in nautical circles as a loose cannon...🤣🤣😂😂
A most enjoyable interpretation of Woodhouse.❤❤
Gotta say, his eye makeup is on point.
"Bertie! You're such a romantic!" "Eh???" :-D
"I turned him down, like a bedspread."
And that is when my giggle turned to fits of laughter and never stopped until the end.
A great series. Brilliantly done
Absolutely brillant! Love the music so much!!!
Percy’s stupid ‘loved-up’ facial expression 46:25 slays me!
Brilliant portrayal of social climbing by the Trotter woman character.
Shades of the Middleton and the Markle.
Just brilliant; and I’ve read every Jeeves: spot on!
"Stilton" Cheesewright ? 🧀
"Looks like a dying duck in a thunderstorm."
"that human gum-boil"
Always twists and turns ... the best mystery series ever!! I always come back to Bertie and Jeeves !
I say - I liked that mustage quite a lot!
Cheesewright acts like a villian from a melodrama!!
I've really warmed to him, he really is a silly oaf!
because he is the villain..
The way Jeeves wails the sex pest with his handbag is so satisfying.
YEP! 😂😅I rewound~watched that segment~laughing so hard!
Just where do you go to get Jeeves-sized dresses on short notice?

The old fellow who played Trotter was John Rapley. He has a long list of credits. In 1974 he played a badass Hauptsturmführer in Colditz s2e4.
I've never understood why they found it necessary to have Bertie actually steal the pearls when they could just stage the burglary
I thought so too
To fit in all those extra scenes, with Wooster in wrong room & getting caught in the armoire, etc..
Bedroom farce is never believable.
@@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).
