Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves

P.G. Wodehouse

May 2006 · BBC Digital Audio · Narrated by Full Cast and Michael Hordern

About this audiobook

Bertie Wooster looks pretty stylish in his new Tyrolean hat - or so he thinks: others, notably Jeeves, disagree. 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. There are good eggs present, such as Gussie Fink-Nottle and the Rev. 'Stinker' Pinker. But there also is Sir Watkyn Bassett J.P., enemy of all the Woosters hold dear, to say nothing of his daughter Madeline and Roderick Spode, now raised to the peerage. And Major Brabazon Plank, the peppery explorer, who wants to lay Bertie out cold.Thank goodness for the intervention of Chief Inspector Witherspoon of Scotland Yard - but is this gentleman all he seems?

Ratings and reviews

Michael Hordern and Richard Briers excel effortlessly as Jeeves and Wooster, ably abetted by a whole host of enjoyable, well-known acting talent. Best get the full collection of these radio productions from May 16 - much better value for money and they run smoothly from one story to another.

Metto due stelle perché non c'è la possibilità di avere l'italiano. In italiano l'avrei comprata sicuramente
