You probably know Hugh Laurie from House . . . but he had a long history as a comedic actor in England, often teamed with the brilliant Stephen Fry. Their rendition of one of Britain's finest comedic novelists ever is a masterpiece. The last season lags a little bit, but it's still great . . . and the first three more than cover the cost of the set.

Product Description

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.

Customer Reviews

Fantastic Series
Whether you've read PG Wodehouse's short stories or not, this series is fantastic for anyone interested in British humor. While he is probably better recognized today as "House MD," Hugh Laurie plays a complex yet relateable character in these four amusing seasons.

While the production quality and general feeling changed between seasons two and three, the first two seasons being excellent and the last two alright, the box set is worth the added price. By the end of the 4th season there was a return to the old style, and brings nice closure to the series as a whole.

Worth every penny!

Jeeves and Wooster--the Complete Set
Absolutely delightful--fun, funny, silly--we love them all. Fry is elegantly long suffering, and Laurie is a delightful idiot.

The pinnacle of British humor
With all due respect to Monty Python, the Goon Squad and Ricky Gervais, there was never a funnier Brit than P.G. Wodehouse. And here you can immerse yourself in his greatest creations--Wooster and Jeeves. My wife and I have regularly wended our ways through these delicious and droll comedies, ever since they first appeared on PBS 17 years ago. Been through the series six or eight times so far. The earlier episodes tend to be stronger. Because of these shows, we find ourselves unable to watch Hugh Laurie on House and take him seriously--because we know that somewhere inside that irascible, misanthropic M.D. is a sweet, inept, clumsy British twit.
