Synopsis
Jeeves and Wooster (1990–1993) is the ITV comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Bertie Wooster, an amiable upper-class twit, stumbles into one scrape after another, and his valet Jeeves quietly extracts him from every single one.
Set in the London and New York of the 1930s, the show follows Bertie and his Drones Club friends as they break off engagements, pinch policemen's helmets and dodge a battalion of formidable aunts. Jeeves fixes it all with a perfect parting, a bottomless memory and a soft "very good, sir." Hugh Laurie plays the loveable fool; Stephen Fry plays the man who is smarter than everyone in the room.
Clive Exton adapted the scripts from P.G. Wodehouse's stories, and the final series earned a BAFTA nomination for best drama. Fry and Laurie clicked here years before their solo fame, and the pairing still sets the bar for English screen comedy. If you prefer verbal wit and gentle irony to broad farce, the four seasons vanish in no time. Stream Jeeves and Wooster online on iFILM.
