Now brilliantly restored, digitally remastered and newly packaged to save space on your shelves, the comic adventures of Britain's original odd couple take you on 23 hilarious romps through English drawing rooms and aristocratic playgrounds. Superstars Hugh Laurie (House) and Stephen Fry (Gosford Park, Wilde) star as Bertie Wooster, a likeable but dim-witted young man of means, and Jeeves, his indispensably resourceful valet. Brace yourself for a dizzying swirl of romantic entanglements, unbidden guests, indomitable aunts and hopeless muddles, all deftly addressed by the unflappable Jeeves. Includes every episode of the popular series, based on the stories of P. G. Wodehouse and masterfully adapted by Clive Exton, screenwriter of Poirot and Rosemary & Thyme. 19¼ hours on 8 DVDs.
