Again, down proverbial lane. I grew up in Hopewell Township , new Jersey between the capital city Trenton and the University town of Princeton. Grief. Now, these episodes of Jeeves and Wooster bring back memories of my childhood. The WW2 years must have prevented commercial development because old farms and estate were all over Hopewell Township, almost a vague copy of this episode. Even then as a child eveything was so beautiful and I knew it would not last. All gone now. The farms are gone. Now, stripmalls and fastfood places. Mansions are gone, motels and covenant stores, discount and garages. A totally different world from 1940's. Bulldozers and backhoes come in and woods, green fields and civilization goes out. Sad. I grieve. "Thanks for the memories."

Hard to believe this was 30 years ago. Timeless classic!

Amongst the very best television ever made. Fry and Laurie were made for each other.

To whom ever uploaded these episode, I thank you warmly.

I love the fact that there is a very real possibility that Jeeves himself has called pretending to be a disgruntled resident.

I just loooove the end of this episode...when Jeeves - in his own way - shows his undevoted love to his master...juuuuust adooorable...and brilliantly played... :)

A gentleman is someone who can play the trombone, and doesn’t.

If the need arises Jeeves is even capable of fashioning a makeshift field kitchen A true gentleman's gentleman

Jeeves tipping his hat to the cow is just sublime

i love the theme music. everything about this show is just done so perfectly.

"Neither Mr. Stoker nor Lord Cuffnell feel themselves quite able to measure up to the required standard." This must be the most wonderful moment in the history of film making.

Just when I think the plot can't get any crazier, I'm wonderfully surprised that it does!

Loved that Jeeves came back to Bertie because the other two employers “didn’t measure up”, according to Jeeves!! Lol.

"It has well been said, sir... that the trombone is not an instrument for the gentleman. I rue the day when you first saw Ben Bloom and his sixteen Baltimore buddies at the Alhambra theatre."

29 years old, still as fresh as a daisy

“The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not mov'd with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treason, stratagems, and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as night, And his affections dark as Erebus: Let not such man be trusted.” Shakespeare. Merchant of Venice. Describes Me to a T.

Such lovely touches like when Jeeves and Bertie walk along the village street with the dog lying in the middle of it, completely unconcerned.

Memo to self; when top notch gentleman's gentleman requests that you stop mangling a trombone....STOP.

It is remarkable how Wodehouse's world is invoked here, without recourse to his narration.. Anne Dudley's music is brilliant, & the violin soloist equally so, very tasty, lovely solid middly sound and PERFECT both in RH articulation & intonation. A blast from the past! I love this.

I love this series what a pleasure to have them on KZfaq ❤ thanks for sharing 🙋‍♀️❤

"Well, this certainly has put the butter on the spinach..."

Love this ...never wearies.. especially the ending..

This whole episode is worth watching just for the last minute. One of the best episodes!

Music at the end is clearly a reminiscence of Vaughan William's "lark ascending" . Pure genius !

The writing really is top notch.

I thought I had watched most of the episodes, but thankfully I missed one! Every episode is pure joy and love! Best series ever!!!

Bertie hanging out w the kids ,watching a Punch n Judy show. I love it !!

The trombone is an instrument that should only be played after it has been mastered.

I think Clive Exton, who Dramatized the series, deserves a mention for his excellent work. He also Dramatized quite a few of the episodes of Poirot starring David Suchet.

The violin solo while Jeeves makes Bertie’s morning tea at the end is a moment of Vaughan Williamsesque beauty ❤️ Edited for time stamp, starts 47:26

I thoroughly enjoy British films. They treat their audience intelligent and don't explain everything but allows one to use their brain. Making for a enjoyable time

The book version differs in a number of ways, Brinkley is an absolute maniac in the book. He’s like the caretaker in the Shining.

Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie were awesome together.

Must be quite hard for Hugh to play the trombone so badly he is after all quite a gifted musician

It takes an incredible amount of skill to play the trombone so badly. Hugh Laurie is a very accomplished musician. Great episode - many thanks!

I’d kill to have that apartment with all its furniture and art deco

Yes, Pauline Stoker is beautiful! Love re, re and re watching these! 😅

loreal9110 I find it hard to understand that so many thousand people watched these episodes and all are too lazy to hit the "Thumbs Up button". Sad! Thank you very much for sharing these delightful episodes :)))

When Jeeves tips his hat to the cow...now that is the mark of a gentleman.

Jeeves, "What the Americans call, 'pure gravy.'" oh my god I died! Why aren't there more humans like Jeeves!

That sofa was brought by Noah from Mount Ararat - genius line!

I would love a Jeeves in my life.

Thanks for upload. Brinkley is a treat with his seething resentment and fabulous profile.

I freakin' love this show! Thank you for the upload! 🩵

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"

Bertie: "I say Jeeves, something amiss? The Chuffnells look like a French army who just got to Moscow and discovered its early closing day" Jeeves: "The simile is an apt one, Sir"

I love the tipping of the hat to the cow. Hahaha

Jeeves's bushcraft tea strainer ! lol

Fidelis Morgan, the woman who plays Myrtle Pongleton, is terrific in her limited role here. She's also a successful writer.

Note that at 26:04 Brinkley just dumps the entire kidneys into the pie shell. Fortunately, I can only imagine what improperly prepared kidneys smell like when cooked!

This is such a great episode. Favorite moments: Bertie spotting Jeeves at Chuffy's. Jeeves and the love letter. Walking along the beach. And the end! Sigh...

Chuffy: "Why didn't you tell me you have been engaged to Ms. Pauline Stoker?" Bertie: "What?? Look here old Chuffy, haha, the whole thing didn't last more than 48 hours from kick-off to final whistle!"

Jeeves could make a camping trip elegant.

Oh, those Brits!!!Brilliant acting!

“Come, Dennis, ‘e’s bein’ ob-doo-rate” Lol,

this film just makes my heart sing :)

You know, I'm willing to bet that Hugh Laurie actually plays trombone more than passably.

The best episode so far. And they were all very good.

Jeeves goes all bushcrafty to fulfill his duty to the fullest even under the extremest circumstamces. 👍

"Man who hath no music in himself is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils!"-Lorenzo from Act V Scene I of The Merchant of Venice.Lorenzo says this line when Jessica informs him that she is "never merry" when she hears music.

I rue the day when you first saw Ben Bloom and his sixteen Baltimore buddies at the alehalmbral theatre. 😊👨🏽‍🎨🎭

Being reunited does make for a goodly ending..what a pair they make..

47:26 - I love the J&W theme by way of Vaughn Williams. Call it "The Valet Ascending". :-D

Jeeves is pure class.

The Foley work on the smack across the back of Dwight's head was very good. Really sounded like a good clout. Also, there are some great examples in this episode of Hugh's great skill at physical comedy.

I don't believe for one second that Jeeves didn't somehow orchestrate the shortage in valets.

As much as I'm happy that Jeeves and Wooster are reacquainted, as a trombonist, the sight of that charred and mangled trombone at the end is one of the saddest I've seen. :(

The artistry of this series is amazing. The soundtrack too: Vaughan Williams' "The Lark Ascending" woven with the theme tune as Jeeves makes tea in the morning at 47:25!!!

There, Sir, That's Killed the Beasty spider. LOL! The Tap Dance that the officer did to kill the nonexistent "Beasty Spider"

A wonderful distraction. Thanks for all the posts!

Many thanks for this. Great quality upload. You're providing pleasure for people all over again.

Is it just me or is the music at 47 minutes a wonderful mix of the lark ascending and the j&w theme music?

Chuffy is soooo cute! Love this episode :)

Thanks for the upload. I sure could use a Jeeves myself. Wish they’d made more episodes than they did, but the ones they made are priceless.

"Are those my heliotrope pyjamas??"

The police constable is Les the land lord from Men Behaving Badly. Lovely ending to this episode.

The Art Deco interiors, marvelous!

In the PG Wodehouse book, the instrument Bertie took up was the banjolele (banjo uke) that annoyed everyone, not the trombone.

Absolutely fabulous, excellent, and divine.

"Well, this has certainly put the butter on the spinach."

This music makes me feel so happy🤗🤗🤗

I wish I could take a long look at all the beautifull watercolors and graphic art hanging on the walls

Powerful religious/priestly imagery in the end with Jeeves making breakfast and awakening Christ - er, Wooster from the "tomb."

what is better? the kill the spider dance or the new gentleman's gentleman?

Brinkley showing commendable contempt for the ruling classes.

Funny how the never- get married are the best therapists to those who want to.

Mr. Frye is so attractive as Jeeves...*sigh*😍💘

4:50 bad Bertie -- you make Jeeves cry. : (

I do not think Mr. Fry has ever soared higher than here! And that is no mean accomplishment.

Love these but had to laugh when Bertie tripped over suitcases that were positioned in such a way he wouldn’t have been able to open the door. Lol!

"Give me five shillings!" Hahahaha! Kids are great!

I recognize the actor who plays Chuffy from "The Norwood Builder" episode of Granada Sherlock Holmes!

My first love played trombone in a jazz quintet. It is a unique instrument able to play a continuous scale, I'm told. I don't play anything, alas alack alor. That was in 1969. I remember him fondly. All other kisses were measured by comparison to his. 😉

Just started watching Gosford Park. Great ensemble cast, including Stephen Fry. Scene one, recognized Hall Barn right off the bat. That's Aunt Dahlia's place, Brinkley Court in season 4. Then they all pull in at Wrotham Park, Chuffy Chuffnell's place.

W: well then leave dash it (!) J: very good sir *blinks back tears rapidly* 😢 must ..... Not ..... Lose ..... Composure(!)

I'm guessing they gave Hugh a trumpet mpc for the trombone to try to make him sound bad....he probably picked trombone right up, as musical as he is.

ah ah ah, even in England there are puppets beating each other with a stick :D

Bertie, "Jeeves Is something amiss, the Chuffnells look like a French Army that have just got to Moscow, and discovered it is early Closing Day. Jeeves "The simile is an appropriate one. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Bertie was reluctant to leave the Punch & Judy show to ask Jeeves about the Yacht outcome. His attempt at kissing that young lady was hilarious.

45:19 policeman looks like he could be Bertie's brother :D
