Review

 

Though he is best remembered as the creator of "Jeeves And Wooster," P.G. Wodehouse wrote hundreds of other hilarious stories featuring equally memorable characters. These supurb adaptations star husband-and-wife team John Alderton and Pauline Collins, whose other natable pairings include "Upstairs, Downstairs" and "No, Honestly." Wodehouse himself gave this BBC series his blessing and appears in person to introduce each of the seven stories. The stories: "The Truth About George"-George stammers so badly he is unable to declare his love for Susan. "Romance At Droitgate Spa"-Freddie falls in love unwisely but too well with a lowly magician's assistant. "Portrait Of A Disciplinarian"-Reginald and Jane have tea with their old nanny and find her personality as forceful as ever. "Unpleasantness At Bludleigh Court"-A romance between two poets in endangered by the malignant influence of a house seeped in the traditions od blood sports. "The Rise Of Minna Nordstrom"-A star is born in 1920's Hollywood, the era of silent movies and prohibition. "Rodney Fails To Qualify"-The relationship of William and Jill is threatened by the advent of Rodney, who is not only a poet but, even worse, a non-golfer. "A Voice From The Past"- The memory of a voice from his youth haunts a timid young man but in the end proves the key to his future hapiness.
