Jeeves &Wooster S04E01 Part 1/5

[LeBubblesSan]

I say, I wonder if any of you chaps might help me out. You see I'm looking for a specific scene I've been told of, where one of Bertie's friends makes a remark about his clothes that Jeeves might object to, so Bertie shouts "Don't listen, Jeeves!" or something to that effect. I don't suppose any of you could point me in the right direction of such an episode? I rather thought it might be in season four, hence my picking it up here.

[girlofjuly]

@LeBubblesSan are you referring to the scene where Rocky Todd tells Bertie that he doesn't change out of his pajamas until 5pm and even then only puts on a sweater? Bertie says "You shouldn't have heard that, Jeeves," or something similar. It's in s03e02 I believe.

[LeBubblesSan]

@girlofjuly Oh, thanks ever so much! *lavishes gratitude onto your person*

[girlofjuly]

@LeBubblesSan I endeavour to give satisfaction ;)

[lucke001]

Your in soup?

Berite: Well eum... not yet!

HILARIOUS!!!

[TheMagicSax]

Helloooooo Mr. Pim!

[UnfoldingWings]

Hahahaha, Mr. Slingsby's accent is terrible.

[ALEXSLINGSBY]

@UnfoldingWings I understand.

[littlemisstheater]

Did anyone else notice that the woman in the soup song never wears that hat? What a scandal that would cause!

[nakedmambo]

The replacement Aunt Agatha is actress Elizabeth Spriggs, the 'witch' from Simon and the Witch.

[lillkutty007]

i like the previous aunt agatha she was totally subreme...i don't think i like this episode so much its all changed and connected nothing of the books essence brought here.... but poor old bertie, jeeves on purpose never lets him marry

[lillkutty007]

well, in the book the portrait is of bertie's, that lady hits the guy with wavy hair...

and the guy is put at bertie's home...the guys sister's husband comes and shouts at bertie and falls and is admited to bed and bertie runs away... in the end bertie's portrait is sold to sligsby's soup and bertie din't like it...he seems to be malnourised with that hungry expression eyeing sligby soup...before aunt agatha would caugh him for the ad he runs away i guess...the drama has changed it...

[WiZSOC]

A woman piloting a motor coach AND wearing long trousers?!? She must be one of those "flappers" I've read so much about in The Daily Mirror.

[jeanpauljh]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOO!!!!! What happened to elevator man?

[shildret1]

"One must never discount wavy hair, Jeeves" HAHAHA I love it

[60sto80s2]

lol does bertie end up marrying any1 in the end of the 4th book? just asking..

[wolfxbloed]

@60sto80s2

Nope. Well, just in point of fact, there's more than 4 books-the seasons take several liberties with the stories, and most of the "books" are just compilations of the stories.

But that's beside the point. *spoiler alert* At the end of "Much Obliged Jeeves" or, "Jeeves and the Tie that Binds" it's implied that Jeeves is going to remain in Bertie's service till death do they part. So no, Bertie never does marry...

[orchardlea]

@wolfxbloed one does not imply the other... marrying someone would still require him to have a job! It was frequent for live-in servants to be married.... odd married life it was but there you have it... my grandmother was housekeeper at a manor and had to live in while married.... odd, odd, odd...

[wolfxbloed]

@orchardlea True but bringing a fem. servant into a bachelor's flat would have probably been something scandalous at the time; for someone of Bertie's crest and class, that is. Your grandmother working at the manor was, I'm just guessing, probably one of many servants, and/or worked for a family rather than in a menage-a-trois household.

Also in the canon Jeeves is considered to be significantly older than Bertie (or Fry) , so the likelihood he'd get married would be slimmer.

Who knows.

[LoramirOfGondor]

@wolfxbloed Well, Jeeves did have "understandings" with at least two ladies, in "Jeeves in the Springtime," so he apparently considered it at some point. Though I still find the concept of Jeeves unbending and loosening up enough to romance a woman somewhat mind-boggling...

[gamerguy50]

@orchardlea In the books Jeeves tells Bertie that should he (Bertie) ever marry, it would then be impossible for Jeeves to continue as Bertie's man servent. There can only be one master in the house and it has been Jeeves experience that no wife is willing to forego that position of authority. The clear implication is that Jeeves only works for those who allow him to be in charge.

[Harlequin70]

@60sto80s2

There is this however,

In the fictional biography Jeeves: A Gentleman's Personal Gentleman by Northcote Parkinson, Bertie comes into the title of Lord Yaxley upon the death of his uncle George Wooster, marries Bobbie Wickham and makes Jeeves the landlord of the Angler's Rest pub, which is on the Yaxley estate. Jeeves then supplants Mr Mulliner as the resident expert and storyteller of the pub.

[gamerguy50]

@Harlequin70 Parkinson did a similar bio of Horatio Hornblower. I hated it and I think I'd be just as reluctant to accept his epilog of Jeeves and Bertie. Bertie is the quintisential bachular and Jeeves is the paragon of discression. He would never be so public with family secrets such as was Mulliner. "The rules of the Ganumied Club are very specific relating to that, Sir. It would not be right to comment."

[Piccadillyo]

Gahh they recast the elevator man :'( he was so hawt before

[lucke001]

Nooooo i want the old mr.coneybear back

[frinnahful]

I wish that they wouldn't change actors. The first Madeline Basset was a much better actress, and the same is for Gussie Fink-Nottle and Aunt Agatha. Actually, there were 2 quite good Aunt Agathas.

[gastonave]

Of all the bad American accents on this show Slingsby's is by far the worst.

[SeventhEve]

@gastonave I have to say, he sounds like someone with a neurological disorder.

[wolfxbloed]

@SeventhEve He should see Sir Roderick Glossop about that.

[MeneerRobinson]

@gastonave but harry ditson, the actor who plays slingsby, is american isn't he?

[ALEXSLINGSBY]

@gastonave Thanks.

[blackcat355]

great, now I'm going to have the Slingsby's Soup song stuck in my head for a week XD

[BrowntheRockCat]

love Jeeves he's ammmmaazzinngg!

Stephen Fry plays him really well!

[Orlabobz]

So eh, theyre back in america?

[ArthurSavillesCrime]

The women are all so fabulous looking in series 3 and 4. I suppose everyone at the time said that American women were better looking. Oscar Wilde never shuts up about it in his essays a little earlier.

[tumadoireacht]

better diets

[ArthurSavillesCrime]

@tumadoireacht Probably.

p.s. There was an engineering place near where I used to live outside Castlebar Co. Mayo with the same name as yours. How come you chose it? Doesn't it mean diving?

[tumadoireacht]

i am a diver.

[ArthurSavillesCrime]

@tumadoireacht Makes sense then.

[guitarsquiddy]

He'd know, would he?

[77helen77]

thanks a lot for posting all these delighful videos. they really make my day.

[osogoodgirl]

Arghhhhhh!!!!! They've changed Aunt Agatha! How?????? Why?????? And the elevator man too!!!! Arghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

[gamerguy50]

@osogoodgirl I'm sure it's got to do with the avalablity of minor actors. Actors have to take what work they can get and many of them get tied up with theater runs. Their chaacters are so fluffy they are easily substituted.

[7677890]

I would love to see Bertie Wooster making a cameo appearance in House.

[Libbathegreat]

Am I the only one who thinks Stephen Fry is a screamin' hottie?

[phemyda94]

@Libbathegreat no, I (and I know many others) find him to be utterly gorgeous and high and true and fine and moist and stick and lovely :-)

[I4gotmyMANTRA]

@Libbathegreat \

In every sense of the expression. ;)

[WonderKid1618]

@Libbathegreat Stephen Fry is hot and juicy beyond description. I just hope Stephen himself takes that to heart and takes a better care of himself.

[WonderKid1618]

Stephen Fry is hot and juicy in the most subtle, intelligent and delicious way. 

[basitkeng]

The characters couldn't have been portrayed any better!Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry are jewels!!!

[RorschachDC0]

What did Mrs. Gregson say at the end?

"What an extraordinary billhook?"

[peregrinusnoctis]

"What an extraordinary daub!"

She's suggesting that the painting's not well-done--in no uncertain terms.

[thebigJM92]

Aunt Agatha's changed! After 3 series!

[dustbunnieboo]

Thank you!!!! :-)

[eiredance92]

haha, Tuppy is SO disgusting!

[mookmeister30]

I bet Rowan Atkinson would have made a better and wholesome Jeeves for sure. I just can't stand Fry's quirky facial expressions. Its actually quite creepy.

[DontTouchMyTea]

I always understand that the man in the elevetor's name is "Mister Teddybear".

[themusicdr]

not quite sure id want a "chum" like tuppy. he seems to drop bertie in it quite freq

[mmokbel24]

Totally agree. He and Stiffy are the two least likeable characters, landing Bertie deep in the soup. Poor old good-hearted Bertie....

[themusicdr]

yes he's a jolly decent chap and far too obliging.

yeah stiffy always stuffs him up

[manikraina]

Tuppy leads to some laughs so he is still bearable. Stiffy on the other hand is humorless and plain bad.
