Martin Jarvis reprises his award-winning Broadway characterisation as Jeeves.

Comic mastery directed by Rosalind Ayres and also starring Joanna Lumley, Ian Ogilvy and Michael York.

When Bertie Wooster embarks on an errand of matrimonial mercy down at Totleigh Towers, he needs all the help he can get from Jeeves. Why?

Because there’s trouble between Madeline Bassett and Gussie Fink-Nottle. She’s forcing Gussie to become a vegetarian. If Gussie refuses to abandon steak and kidney pies, Madeleine will dump him and marry Bertie. Can Wooster avoid such a fate?

Also, human gorilla Roderick Spode is besotted by Madeline and loathes Bertie, mistakenly viewing him as a rival. A midnight encounter between Bertie and an Aberdeen terrier doesn’t help.

And Bertie’s host Sir Watkyn Bassett suspects he has designs on a valuable statuette.

Joanna Lumley pitches in as dominant Aunt Dahlia, with Michael York as whisky-sodden Major Plank.
