My Man Jeeves, first published in 1919, introduced the world to affable, indolent Bertie Wooster and his precise, capable valet, Jeeves. Some of the finest examples of humorous writing found in English literature are woven around the relationship between these two men of very different classes and temperaments. Where Bertie is impetuous and feeble, Jeeves is coolheaded and poised.

Once again we find ourselves at that idyllic country seat, Blandings. This time it's debonair charmer, Frederick Altamont Cornwallis Twistleton, fifth Earl of Ickenham (known to most as 'Uncle Fred') who has been lured to the castle by affable Lord Emsworth. His lordship requires an expert in human behaviour to prevent the egg-throwing Duke of Dunstable from stealing Emsworth's treasured pig, Empress of Blandings. The plot's eccentricities naturally include love and romance and, crucially, three imposters.

Loved it
Wodehouse is enough all on his own, but this cast gets it just right. Amazing voice actors and some parts are just sublime. This is the audible recording I go back to over and over again when others disappoint. Never fails to bring me to laughter.

Delightful from beginning to end
Can there be a more respected, versatile, talented English actor than Richard Briers? For him to shine above this excellent cast shows how truly singular he is. There's not a weak moment in this entire performance. It is clear that all of the actors involved know exactly how to coax every nuance out of their characters, and the result is a thoroughly enjoyable radio play that amazes and amuses me each time I listen...which is quite often. No one does this sort of comedy like the Brits. If you are, like me, an Anglophile, of if you simply want to experience something delightful, this is for you.

Do not pass go, get Jonathan Cecil instead
Joy in the Morning is a wonderful story, one of my favourites in the Wodehouse canon. But while this dramatization is amusing in spots and the performances are enjoyable enough, the adaptation is disappointing. I don't know if the BBC original was a serial, but there are multiple "chapters" that begin with repetitive exposition of what's already happened.
This was pretty disappointing. Wodehouse is meant to be read, not played. And that's why recommend you check out Jonathan Cecil's reading of the book instead of this abridged adaptation.

A fantastic adaptation of a wonderful story
Would you consider the audio edition of Jeeves to be better than the print version?
Of course not! However, this audiobook is dominated by Richard Briers' brilliant narration as Bertie Wooster, and does a great job of adapting Wodehouse's wondrous prose to audio.
What did you like best about this story?
In this novel, unlike most other Jeeves stories, the famous gentleman's gentleman frequently finds himself short on ideas, making Bertie's problems seem graver than usual.
Which character – as performed by Michael Hordern and Richard Briers – was your favorite?
Richard Briers is easily my favourite Bertie Wooster: he nails the breezy, brilliant, sparkling speech patterns filled with Woosterisms that makes this character so much fun. Michael Hordern is a very good Jeeves, but it's hard for me not to imagine that Stephen Fry might have done it better.

Typical English
If you could sum up Jeeves in three words, what would they be?
Clever, intelligent and patient
Who was your favorite character and why?
Jeeves because he was able to solve any problem presented to him.
What about Michael Hordern and Richard Briers ’s performance did you like?
I love the typical over the top English accents and could picture Richard Brier in this role which made the performance doubly enjoyable. It suited him to a tee.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It was very amusing and I look forward to listening to it often.
Any additional comments?
I will certainly obtain other books in this series particularly the dramatizations as I enjoy this droll type of humour.

Perfectly cast audio drama
Would you listen to Jeeves again? Why?
Absolutely.
The wonderfully witty dialogue is brought to life by actors who obviously share Wodehouse's love of the English language in telling a tale.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Jeeves?
The interplay of the characters at the climax.
What about Michael Hordern and Richard Briers ’s performance did you like?
You couldn't play the parts better. Differently yes, but never better!
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The book is sometimes hilarious, often funny and always enjoyable.
Any additional comments?
Fantastic.

classic Wodehouse fun
What did you like most about Jeeves?
I must confess I heard these first time round on the radio, so there is an added nostalgic joy to these stories. Michael Horden and Richard Briers are Jeeves and Wooster to me. More important perhaps is the dramtisation here is true to the original so that Wooster is not too much of a fat-head. .
What did you like best about this story?
I love the gentle comedy and farcical situations
Which character – as performed by Michael Hordern and Richard Briers – was your favourite?
I think they compliment each other and to choose would be pointless
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Absolutely great for car journeys

Spiffing
Would you listen to Jeeves again? Why?
I already have.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Bertie Wooster is one of the greatest creations of the twentieth century along with all of Woodehouse's cast of upper class toffery.
What does Michael Hordern and Richard Briers bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Briers particularly emphasises the foolish but loveable nature of Wooster whilst Horden's haughty authorativeness is perfectly apt for the fix-it-all gentleman's gentleman.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Well, when Bertie realised that he would have to obey the summons of various horrifying aunts and demanding grandees to attend at Steeple Bumpley, I must admit to a slight flutter of emotion for our hero as he was pitched into yet another melee of mistaken assignations and newt pandering nonsense.
