Dramatisations of four PG Wodehouse masterpieces, plus two dramas based on his life and a selection of his correspondence
PG Wodehouse is one of England's foremost comic authors, and this collection brings together some of his funniest and most memorable creations.
The impeccable Jeeves saves hapless Bertie's bacon in The Code of the Woosters, while Psmith in the City follows the adventures of the extraordinary Psmith and his pal Mike in the world of Edwardian finance. In Galahad at Blandings, we join `Gally' and the eccentric Emsworths at chaotic Blandings Castle. And in Uncle Dynamite, the irresistible `Uncle Fred' exploits his talent for mischief - to the despair of nephew Pongo. Among the stars of these blissfully witty adaptations are Marcus Brigstocke, Andrew Sachs, Ian Carmichael, Paul Eddington, Hugh Grant and Richard Briers.
Wodehouse's own eventful life is explored in two dramas starring Tim McInnerny: Wodehouse in Hollywood sheds light on his time in the movie industry, while How To Be An Internee With No Previous Experience reimagines Wodehouse's interrogation by MI5 over his controversial wartime broadcasts.
Further insight is revealed in The Wodehouse Letters, read by Simon Cadell, featuring the reclusive author's correspondence with stepdaughter Leonora, college chum William Townsend and musical collaborator friend Guy Bolton.
