Hugh Laurie was perfect as Bertie Wooster, exactly as I’d always pictured him. Stephen Fry as Jeeves, not so much. Fry was always smirking, and Jeeves would never have allowed himself to be seen with a smirk, however justified it might have been.
sir john guilgood would have been a great Jeeves
You have to be from New England or old England to pronounce it correctly.
Take the word "wuss" add "stah" and then "sure" and you approximate the correct pronunciation. Subtract "sure" and you get the pronunciation of Worcester. It's not Wooster (that's in Ohio), Worchester, Worsester, or any other way.
Once you master Worcester, try Leicester and Alnwick.
I see you heard that story too.
“perhaps you’d like me to wash your dick sir”
wash your dick sir sauce... LOL
Leominster is another.
Too old when those shows were made.
I say, what a perfectly foul suggestion!
Lol!!!
And the New England pronunciation differs from old England's, where they pronounce it Lempster with the "p" barely sounded.
There's a Lempster in New Hampshire, which likely was spelled phonetically when the town was first settled.
I think I know Leicester; and Wiki is my friend:
