What: Blandings adapts a set of connected P.G. Wodehouse stories for television, much as Jeeves & Wooster did in the early '90s (what ho!).
This series plays fast and loose with plots, but makes a solid go of capturing Wodehouse's steady parade of crispy dialogue.
Evidence (representative dialogue):
Exhibit A: "Do you bash the shuttlecock from the feathered end?"
Exhibit B: "Clarence, that doesn't even qualify as a lie. That's just noise leaking out of your face."
Exhibit C:
"I don't quite catch your drift."
"Then I shall continue snowing."
Connections to previous Wreckage: I adore Wodehouse's writing. See List #43 for more.
