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.)
