Summer Lightning by P G Wodehouse - BBC 6 parts

Posted by Peter Gordon on April 22, 2014 at 5:33pm

There is in this group a version of this tale in the form of a play starring Charles Dance.

I am uploading a much earlier production starring Richard Vernon as Lord Emsworth and Ian Carmichael as Galahad Threepwood.

The story is adapted by Richard Usborne who was involved in many of these productions. I have other Jeeves and Wooster stories starring Richard Briers, Michael Hordern and others, which are, as with this story, great fun. If they are not already in existence here, I will be happy to upload a few.

    Thank you, Peter.  Wodehouse is timeless and priceless.

    Peter:

    You and I should compare Wodehouse lists.

      Apologies Bob, but your posting only just arrived - email problems at my end. I listed my Wodehouse offerings just before I read your suggestion.  The list is under 'Discussions'.

    Many thanks, Peter. I love Wodehouse.

      I do too.  In fact I am trying to train my grandson to call me 'guvnor' as did one of the PGW characters. I know, so sad!

      Ha1 My grandchildren address me as "Your Lordship." (At least that's what they say to my face)  :>)  :>)

      As a rather grand friend of mine once said, "And so they should, so they should!"
