A comical romp of an adventure involving Jeeves, Wooster and 'Bicky', whose uncle, the Duke of Chiswick, has the potential to be a wealthy benefactor to his nephew. Unfortunately, the Duke is what's known in the right circles as a 'hard-boiled egg' - ie 'notoriously the most prudent spender in England'. When Bicky contacts Bertie, our jaunt begins, and hilarity and laughs, courtesy of P. G. Wodehouse and Martin Jarvis, are bound to follow.

Bingo Little, friend of butler Jeeves' master Bertie Wooster and a member of the Drones Club, is also a hopeless romantic. Our heroes Jeeves and Wooster often try to help him into or out of romantic entanglements but to little avail, or at least they often make matters worse! Sublime comedy from the master of humor.

A typically shambolic and hilarious romp from the inimitable Jeeves and Wooster, who find themselves embroiled in college initiation rites in this story of students, aunts and three rather irate cats. Throw into the heady mix of comedic fancy a luncheon appointment with Sir Roderick, and the scene is set for a farcical showdown of epic proportions....

Right Ho, Jeeves sees Bertie Wooster blithely attempting to assume the role of Jeeves himself as a matters-of-the-heart adviser. Very unwise: from Gussie Fink-Nottle's romance with Madeline Bassett, to Tuppy Glossop and his stop/go engagement to Angela Travers, the young master succeeds only in making a bally mess of everyone's love-lives. Toss int...

But when Bertie embarks on an errand of mercy to Totleigh Towers, things get quickly out of control and he's going to need all the help Jeeves can provide.
