What
ho, chaps! Those frightfully good eggs at Colonial
Radio Theatre have seen fit to release some of the
earliest stories by the world's greatest comic writer, P
G Wodehouse. Top hole!
Jeeves
Takes Charge:
In which the incomparable silly-ass Bertie Wooster makes
the acquaintance of the world's foremost Gentleman's
Personal Gentleman, Jeeves. Together, they are thrust
into a dashed tricky situation concerning Uncle
Willoughby's memoirs. The manuscript is sheer dynamite,
and Bertie's love life will be ruined if he doesn't
prevent it reaching the publishers. It's up to Jeeves to
save the day...
Extricating Young Gussie:
On the instructions of his fearsome Aunt Agatha, Bertie
is packed off to New York, ordered to prevent his cousin
Gussie Mannering-Phipps from going into vaudeville. But
the involvement of a beautiful girl named Ray, of all
things, threatens to complicate matters. Jeeves has all
the answers, of course, but Bertie may regret asking for
his counsel.
Jeeves
and the Unbidden Guest: Bertie Wooster is
living the high life as an English gentleman in New
York. But when he's instructed to look after young
Wilmot, a fearful drip who just happens to be the son of
the fearsome Lady Malvern, matters become jolly
complicated jolly quickly. And for some reason,
Bertie's valet Jeeves refuses to be of any help at
all. What's to be done?
Leave
it to Jeeves: Has Jeeves let his master
down? Bertie's attempts to play cupid result in
the most atrocious misunderstanding and it's all because
he took Jeeves' advice! Now, the happiness of
Bertie's pal Corky hangs in the balance and his latest portrait
is...well, let's just say it's not quite up to
snuff. Jeeves will have to exert the old
cerebellum to it's fullest extent to get the chaps out
of this pickle.
The
Aunt and the Sluggard: I say! What's to
be done with Bertie Wooster's chum Rockmetteller
Todd? Rocky's Aunt Isabel wants him to live the
life of a New York socialite, but the poor chap loathes
the city with this whole bohemian soul. Bertie's
valet, Jeeves, has a master plan, of course, but it
requires Bertie to leave his luxurious apartment.
Worst of all, without Jeeves, he has to pick out his own
socks and cravats! Surely this is more than one
man - civilized man that is - can bear!
Jeeves
and the Hard-Boiled Egg: Dear old Bicky (also
known as Alistair Bingham-Reeves) is in the most
frightful spot of bother. His uncle, the Duke of
Chiswick, don't you know, thinks that Bicky is on a
ranch in Colorado, when he's actually living in New York
and dreaming about chickens. I wouldn't fool you,
old top - when I say chickens, I mean actual
chickens! Bicky looks to Bertie for advice and
Bertie, naturally, expects Jeeves to rally round.
But when his apartment is infested with tourists from a
small town in Missouri, the young master starts to
wonder if his trusty servant hasn't gone completely off
his rocker. (Series finale.)
