Tony Staveacre - Wodehouse in Hollywood
Writer PG Wodehouse is taken to 1930s Hollywood by a major movie studio. Is it a match made in heaven? Stars Tim McInnerny.
In 1930 MGM shipped PG Wodehouse out West and thrust $104,000 into his hand - in return for zilch. The stories and novels that Wodehouse created out of his Hollywood experience were his satiric riposte to those that had made a dishonest man out of him. Comedy combining Wodehouse's own writing with dramatised fictional scenes by Tony Staveacre.
