P.G. Wodehouse himself introduces each episode of Wodehouse
Playhouse; a ringing endorsement, eh, what? This much-loved 1975 series, a
sparkling jewel in the BBC crown, brings to the screen several of Wodehouse's
most delightful stories and eccentric characters. The 20th-century's most prolific English humorist, best known
as the creator of Jeeves and Wooster, wrote about a raft of other equally
entertaining characters. Many of them, including the intriguing Mulliner clan,
come to life in these sparkling BBC adaptations starring comedy couple John
Alderton and Pauline Collins (Upstairs, Downstairs; No, Honestly).
