Jeeves and Wooster
From Free net encyclopedia
Image:Jeeves-n-wooster.jpg Jeeves and Wooster was a television series adapted by Clive Exton from P. G. Wodehouse's Jeeves stories, and produced by Granada Television for the UK's ITV network from 1990 to 1993. It ran for four seasons, and starred Hugh Laurie as Bertie Wooster (a jovial but empty-headed young gentleman) and Stephen Fry as Jeeves (his improbably well-informed and talented valet). The series was produced by Brian Eastman. All four series are available on DVD.
