By the way, is Wodehouse pronounced /Wood-house/ or /Woad-house/? I've heard both used, but someone told me Wodehouse himself pronounced it /Wood-house/.

It's /Wood-house/.

The first two seasons of the TV series are perfect - the second two are a bit inferior, because a different director took over and seemed to think he needed to add occasional elements of slapstick to the show - a decision which misses Wodehouse's point entirely. Seasons three and four are still worth getting, though, mostly because Fry and Laurie are so perfect in the roles.

Thanks for the tip. I'm considering the purchase. Do you like the Blanding's Castle series also? I've just started one of them but so far it doesn't hold the same enchantment.
