Product Details

Product Description

Video Details
Bertie Wooster is feeling a bit shy of the mark when his new valet reports for duty, bringing with him a much-needed cure for the effects of the previous night's excesses. On the strength of this sterling debut, Jeeves is formally retained, and the unsuspecting servant is thrown headlong into the glorious mix of overbearing aunts, unbidden guests, friends in need and romantic entanglements that is Bertie's lot in life.

To millions of devoted fans, P.G. Wodehouse's "Jeeves and Wooster" stories are a delightful obsession, an irresistible and irreverent romp through the drawing rooms of Edwardian England's tweedy elite. Now, these comic masterpieces come to life in acclaimed productions with an extraordinary cast that features Hugh Laurie (Sense and Sensibility, Strapless) as the well-meaning but dim aristocrat Bertie Wooster, and Stephen Fry (Wilde, Cold Comfort Farm) as Jeeves, his hilariously arch and resourceful valet. This 8-DVD collector's set includes 23 digitally restored and remastered episodes.

4.0 out of 5 stars great entertainment, bloated packaging, Feb 22 2007
By Shemogue (New Brunswick) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
I have no complaints of the content, just the opposite, being a fan of Jeeves & Wooster for many years & would normally give it five stars for entertainment value.
I am taking away one star for the bloated DVD packaging.

I have 2 reasons for buying DVD's: #1. I can't get videos any more; #2. DVD's of Complete TV series' are generally more compact than videos.

It was with some annoyance therefore that I realized the "Complete Jeeves and Wooster" set, which I bought to replace my old videos (which in turn I fobbed off on my sister), actually occupies more space than the videos, taking up 4 inches on my shelves. Each DVD case could easily hold 2 disks. British productions for some reason all suffer from this problem, which probably explains why they cost twice as much as American sets.
Compare with the Complete Third Season Law & Order SVU, approximately the same viewing time, which occupies only one inch of space (& cost half as much ).

When you have thousands of books and hundreds of videos, space is an important consideration.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!, Nov 14 2006
By Victoria Lechler "torial" (Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This series is perhaps the funniest thing I have ever watched. Fry and Laurie do outstanding jobs as Jeeves and Wooster. The English humour and wit is not only superbly written but acted believably. I bought this as a birthday gift for my husband after seeing one episode. We both enjoyed the series immensely. It is hard to find humour that is not crude or filled with scantily clad women. This humour is intelligent rather than crude and it is not offensive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another wonderful rendition of Wodehouse's Characters, May 11 2003
By Peter Smith "petersm52" (Northern Wisconsin, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There are not a lot of glowing words I say about this DVD collection that haven't already been said, but I will try. Having read numerous books about the characters of Jeeves and Wooster, and listened to BBC radio collection performances, I have to say all the characters seem to hit the mark in bringing P G Wodehouse's creations to the screen. I have laughed a lot watching the amazing Bertie Wooster botch well-meant attempts to help(?) his friends. Mr Laurie and Mr Fry really do all they can to bring out the humor and wisdom of the stories. The other characters, both the recurring ones and the infrequently appearing ones, are also spot on with their roles. The twins, Claude and Eustace, had me rolling on the floor with their relentless pursuit of the singer. If you enjoy P.G. Wodehouse's stories, you will truly enjoy these DVD's. I know I will watch them over and over, as I have listened to BBC tapes I bought in the 1980's. Two very good comedic actors put their marks on some excellent Jeeves and Wooster stories. I only wish there were more of them in the series to watch.
