2. Jeeves Intervenes

Blackmail is afoot, petty larceny and fisticuffs by the rhododendrons. Gussie elopes, but with whom? Starring Joanna Lumley.

Local curate Rev 'Stinker' Pinker is in love with Sir Watkyn Bassett's niece, Stiffy Byng. They can't get married until Pinker gets a vicarage of his own.

Sir Watkyn holds one in his gift, but he's not keen on Stinker. Control-freak Stiffy orders Bertie to help.

Bad idea.

Blackmail, petty larceny, elopement and knock-out blows ensue. Can Jeeves untangle these threads and keep the young master out of jail? Will bibulous Major Plank or cheery Aunt Dahlia hinder things?

Of course, it's Jeeves who engineers a surprising conclusion.

Martin Jarvis reprises his award-winning Broadway characterisation as Jeeves.

Also starring Joanna Lumley, Ian Ogilvy and Michael York.
