Jeeves & Wooster - The Complete Fourth Season Reviews
J & W Fourth Season
The last disk in Volumn two titled: "the ties that bind" , I feel was the best of the whole 4th season! That awful
Mr. Brinkly was in it and he stole the private and cherished "book" from Jeeves's Ganymedes club. And of course Bertie got himself engaged again... to two women at the same time! Bertie and Jeeves's antics on this particular disk are quite funny. It shows how far they've come as friends as well as loyal employer/employee. Other than that disk, I can't recall the other ones in that 4th series off hand.

Perfect or not, it's hilarious
Okay, I agree. I don't remember reading about Bertie and Jeeves in a lifeboat rowing across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, but at that point in the episode ("Bridegroom Wanted"), who cares? It's worth it just for the Jeeves's line: "If you will remember sir, that narrow passage of water that you insisted was the Serpentine turned out to be the Panama Canal." So like them.
And, of course, the classic moment in which Bertie is trying to explain a supposedly hypothetical example involving characters A and B and "some other fellow, what shall we call him?" Jeeves: "C, sir?" Bertie: "Well, all right, I suppose Caesar is as good a name as any."
Unlike the previous episodes, this series seems to have much more slapstick humor, all pushed politely to the background. It's an attempt (and, I think, a successful one) to convey the physical stuff that Wodehouse alludes to, such as Stinker Pinker being reminded "Try not to fall over the furniture." It could be just me, but I thought it worked well.
There's a slight disappointment in losing some of the actors who had played characters in the earlier series, but the new ones certainly do just as well. All in all, deliciously Wodehousian. Highly recommended.
