Wodehouse Lived in Remsenburg about a half hour from my house. Never read his books. Dated a girl some time in the early 70s from west Hampton who knew him. Pointed out his house whenever we drove past it.

My wife likes the Wooster-Jeeves books and TV shows staring Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry. Though the only British humor I like is Python and Fawlty Towers maybe Blackadder.

Cheers

You’ve. never. read. Wodehouse?!

You are denying yourself a marvellous treat.

i strongly suggest picking up “The Code of the Woosters” or “Damsel in Distress” - or for more immersive reading “the Prefect’s Uncle”

It’s more Blackadder than Python or Fawlty Towers. The TV shows are good, but the books are infinitely better

As far as TV comedy is concerned, I really like Bournestown - if you can get past the broad Scottish accent, you’ll love it
