He's rich, he's idle, he's hip to all the comforts of 1920s living and quite happy to keep it that way. His valet, Jeeves, is a genius, dedicated to his master's happiness and self-improvement. The pair of them are enjoying a comfortable weekend at Bertie's aunt's house, looking forward to nothing but joy and good living. And a broken engagement. And an accidental engagement. And a drunken newt-breeder. And an enraged virtuoso chef. And a pathologically furious schoolmate. And the potential collapse of every happy part of Bertie's London life. But, apart from that, nothing can go wrong. Adapted from the side-splitting PG Wodehouse classic this new take on Jeeves and Wooster is written by Delmar Terblanche and produced by Ameena Hamid Productions Ltd.
