About this listen

First published in serialised form in The Strand magazine between 1933-34, Thank You, Jeeves is a novel that lends itself to an audiobook, with its diverse range of dotty voices all relayed magnificently by master Wodehouse reader Martin Jarvis.

No longer in master Bertie Wooster’s employ, Jeeves is engaged with a new employer, Lord "Chuffy" Chuffnell, an old friend of Bertie’s. True to form, thus follows a supreme comedy of errors which is guaranteed to raise many a chortle, as Wooster travels to one of Chuffy’s cottages in Dorset to carry on his banjolele practice in (dubious) peace.

This is horribly racist which makes it uncomfortable to listen to.
It is not appropriate to have books with demeaning and stereotypical themes in these times
of awareness and of ethical consciousness.

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

There is a subplot with minstrel band that uses language which is just not acceptable these days I love Martin Jarvis but I don't know why the language used didn't stick in his throat.

What could P. G. Wodehouse have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

The attitudes in the book were no doubt acceptable at the time, and the book is otherwise up to PGW's high standard.

Which character – as performed by Martin Jarvis – was your favourite?

Jeeves, always.

What character would you cut from Thank You, Jeeves?

The minstrel band subplot.

Unacceptable language for these times.
