Ring-a-ding-ding for Jeeves, old sport—P.G. Wodehouse’s sparkling 1953 comedy-thriller Ring for Jeeves kicks off with Episode 1 of 2, now on YouTube (WolveMarine) and Rumble (WolvMarine)! In this BBC Radio 4 gem (dramatized by Archie Scottney in 2014), the unflappable valet Jeeves (voiced by the masterful Martin Jarvis) steps in as temporary butler at crumbling Rowcester Abbey, aiding the cash-strapped young Earl Bill Rowcester (Jamie Bamber) amid a whirlwind of hidden diamonds, diamond-hard debts, and a smarmy American widow with eyes on the estate. Cue Wodehouse’s effervescent elixir of mistaken motives, matrimonial mix-ups, and Jeevesian ingenuity—think Jeeves sans Bertie, but twice the toffs and trouble! With a stellar cast including Rufus Sewell as Rory, Joanne Whalley as Monica, and Glenne Headly as Rosie, this full-cast production is a corker. Enhanced with subtle visuals to complement the audio without stealing the spotlight, it's pure Plum perfection for Wodehouse devotees!
