9/10
Just one word sir "Eulalie"

What ho!

No spoilers so you'll have to watch the show to find out what "Eulalie" means but its great when you do.

Jeeves and Wooster is a comedy series where each episode takes its time getting to the punchline and I think a good thing too.

Hugh Laurie (Wooster) the epitomy of the upper class English twit is as perfectly cast as his ever eriodite gentlman's gentlman Stephen Fry (Jeeves). These two go hand in glove together at what I would say is their best work.

The early seasons are the best told but even the worst of this series is A class.

Set before the great depression (roaring twentys ) with all the Ludicrousness of that swing era.

Taking shots at the many excentricities of the era from class struggle, matrimony all the way to the rise of local facism (just remember Eulalie) and international travel, it will make sense in its own insane way when you see it through.

While not perfect it is ambitous and hits the target 9 out of ten times for me. It does take its time to tell each story so this show is for those with patience.

So if you like Hugh Laurie & Stephen Fry this is the one to see.
