Your Opinions and Comments
The fourth and final time out for the Fry/Laurie pairing playing the upper class wastrel playboy, and his gentlemans gentleman.
The Plot
Its the usual scrapes for Bertram. Avoiding engagements left right and center, whilst trying to keep the Aunts at bay. It ends up in the last episode with him actually getting to the alter, whilst being engaged to two different girls. Will Jeeves enormous fish powered brain be enough to save the day?
The Cast
Perfectly matched as ever, Fry and Laurie deliver their usual seasoned performances, supported by most of the usual characters, although the Aunts have tended to vary throughout the series.
The Visuals/Audio
Reasonable video for a few years old made for TV stuff. Some grain and sometimes a little washed out.
The Extras
Nothing. The animated menus and soundtrack get better with each series, but we are lacking anything that might be considered a real extra.
Summary
A fine round up of the talents of Fry and Laurie with the writing of Mr Wodehouse. One can`t but help be amused.
