Mayhem has broken out at Brinkley Court and there would seem to be a desperate need for Jeeves. But Bertie is fed up with the assumption that he is merely an addendum to his personal attendant. There are more brains in the Wooster household than just Jeeves, you know! Stand back—Bertram Wooster is on the case.

In Wodehouse's madcap fashion, this delightful full-cast recording treats listeners to the hilarity of self-centered, scatterbrained Bertie Wooster and his implacable, all-knowing manservant, Jeeves. As they find themselves in another zany situation, lost love, drunkenness, and colliding romantic schemes are all folded into an impeccably recorded and energetically played story. When Aunt Dahlia breezes in, the energy level rises perceptibly. Stealing the show are nervous and repressed Gussie Fink-Nottle and Tuppy Glossop, and a swooning, dreamy love interest--perfectly lightweight as well. The BBC still delivers the best audio theater in the game, and more productions like this would be worthy additions to the genre. D.J.B. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine -

Starred review from October 26, 2009
Martin Jarvis again lends his talents to the works of Wodehouse, this time delivering an outstanding rendition of the misadventures of Bertie Wooster and his indispensable valet, Jeeves. We follow Bertie from one madcap exploit to the next, as he and Jeeves attempt to navigate a wacky world replete with love triangles, meddling aunts and irate chefs, and populated by the likes of Gussie Fink-Nottle, the renowned newt fancier; the gluttonous Tuppy Glossop; and the loopy Madeline Bassett. When a controversial addition to the young master's wardrobe begins to undermine Bertie's relationship with Jeeves, will Bertie be able to go it alone and extricate himself from imbroglio after imbroglio? Jarvis shines; his portrayal of Bertie, Jeeves and the entire bizarre cast is meticulous.
