Jeeves and Wooster is a British comedy-drama series adapted by Clive Exton from P.G. Wodehouse's "Jeeves" stories. It aired on the ITV network from 1990 to 1993, starring Hugh Laurie as Bertie Wooster, a young gentleman with a "distinctive blend of airy nonchalance and refined gormlessness", and Stephen Fry as Jeeves, his improbably well-informed and talented valet. Wooster is a bachelor, a minor aristocrat and member of the idle rich. He and his friends, who are mainly members of The Drones Club, are extricated from all manner of societal misadventures by the indispensable valet, Jeeves. The stories are set in the United Kingdom and the United States in the 1930s.

The Jeeves and Wooster books offer readers a window into the sunlit realms of 1920s London and beyond, where whimsical plots and spot-on characterizations bring to life the escapades of the hapless Bertie Wooster and his unflappable valet, Jeeves. The elegance of Wodehouse's prose and the exquisite comedic timing of his dialogues are best experienced through the written word, where his mastery of language paints every scene with impeccable detail. Reading the original Jeeves and Wooster stories allows one to luxuriate in the full breadth of Wodehouse’s genius, observing not only plot developments but also the inner thoughts and musings of his memorable characters. The books' humor is nuanced and sophisticated, infused with a subtlety that often finds itself diluted on-screen. Each story provides a gentle yet incisive commentary on social class and human folly, making it all the more rewarding.

Wodehouse can deliver, savoring every clever twist and turn that the series offers, one page at a time.
