Right Ho, Jeeves
B.J. Harrison’s The Classic Tales podcast just started doing Right Ho, Jeeves in an eight part, weekly series. The program is free, but only if you get it fresh. After two weeks, it is only available for a fee. So subscribe forthwith.
Stephen Fry’s endorsement: “The masterly episode where Gussie Fink-Nottle presents the prizes at Market Snodsbury grammar school is frequently included in collections of great comic literature and has often been described as the single funniest piece of sustained writing in the language. I would urge you, however, to head straight for a library or bookshop and get hold of the complete novel Right Ho, Jeeves, where you will encounter it fully in context and find that it leaps even more magnificently to life.”

I’m really regretting that another patron of my local library permanently loaned Right Ho, Jeeves! to himself. I may have to purchase it.
I loathe podcasts. They sound like something from Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and I’ve already had too much of my body snatched. Plus consumer electronics has a way of interfering with my medical devices, or vice versa.

Wodehouse cognoscenti will debate whether the prize-giving or the the Lord Ickenham visit to his ancestral home in the suburbs is the funniest scene ever. Hard to say.

Lord Vader, this podcast is really a professional-quality audiobook production.

Dash it, what about the blessed royalties? One may be rolling in the stuff, chests full of golden doubloons that could stretch from here to Piccadilly, not that one would, yet one expects something in the way of financial remuneration for doing one’s bit in the writing line. Dash it, it’s only British. Is this Spain? I ask you. Expect to hear from my solicitor forthwith.

Oh, I say, er, I don’t mean to give the wrong impression and all that. Standing on my rights and all like a jolly good’un, of course, naturally, naturally, but now that I’ve had a glass or two of the fruit of the vine, I am willing to grant forthwith and eftsoons, or whatever I should say in the legal line, permission to anyone to broadcast that really shocking incident at Market Snodsbury without let or hindrance. That blighter Fink-Nottle is an ass and deserves to be the laughing stock of the english speaking w. Lists of the Kings of Judah, forsooth!
