Right Ho, Jeeves

(Jeeves & Wooster)





A classic Jeeves and Wooster novel from P.G. Wodehouse, the great comic writer of the 20th century

A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation starring Michael Hordern as Jeeves and Richard Briers as Wooster. Mayhem has broken out at Brinkley Court... Gussie Fink-Nottle has fallen in love with Madeline Bassett. Angela has argued with young Tuppy and the air is full of mangled fragments of engagement. Aunt Dahlia has lost a fortune at the gaming tables in Cannes and dare not tell Uncle Tom. And all the while the spectre of the Market Snodsbury Grammar School prize-giving hangs over the assembled company. It's a situation which cries out for Jeeves you would think. But Bertie is fed up with the assumption that he is merely an addendum to his personal attendant. There are more brains in the Wooster household than just Jeeves, you know! Stand back - Bertram Wooster is on the case!

About the author

P.G. Wodehouse

Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (always known as ‘Plum’) wrote about seventy novels and some three hundred short stories over seventy-three years. He is widely recognised as the greatest 20th-century writer of humour in the English language.

Perhaps best known for the escapades of Bertie Wooster and Jeeves, Wodehouse also created the world of Blandings Castle, home to Lord Emsworth and his cherished pig, the Empress of Blandings. His stories include gems concerning the irrepressible and disreputable Ukridge; Psmith, the elegant socialist; the ever-so-slightly-unscrupulous Fifth Earl of Ickenham, better known as Uncle Fred; and those related by Mr Mulliner, the charming raconteur of The Angler’s Rest, and the Oldest Member at the Golf Club.

In 1936 he was awarded the Mark Twain Prize for ‘having made an outstanding and lasting contribution to the happiness of the world’. He was made a Doctor of Letters by Oxford University in 1939 and in 1975, aged ninety-three, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. He died shortly afterwards, on St Valentine’s Day.
