Return to New York
Once again, Bertie and Jeeves are off to America, and once
again, Bertie meets Tuppy Glossop, this time trying to sell
a recipe to an American soup company. Meanwhile, Bertie has
commissioned a painting of Aunt Agatha from his fiancée,
Gwladys (sic) Pendlebury; Gwladys has run over advertising
executive Lucius Pym in her car; Pym is now recuperating in
Bertie's bedroom; and Aunt Agatha arrives with cousins Claude
and Eustace, who have been expelled from Oxford and are shipping
out to South Africa, until which time Bertie is expected to
keep them out of trouble. Of course, nothing could possibly
go wrong.

The Once and Future Ex
Bertie's former fiancée Lady Florence Craye arrives
in Manhattan, her new fiancé D'Arcy "Stilton"
Cheesewright in tow. When Florence throws Stilton over and
announces that she will marry Bertie, Bertie is faced with
two most unpleasant alternatives: either Stilton will kick
his spine up through the top of his head, or--worse--he might
actually have to marry Florence. Meanwhile, Lady Florence's
father, Lord Worplesdon, is trying to put together a secret
deal with prominent businessman J. Chichester Clam, while
Worplesdon's niece Zenobia Hopwood wants (against his wishes)
to marry Bertie's friend, the playwright George Caffyn.

The Delayed Arrival
Back in England, Bertie once again finds the Florence Craye-Stilton
Cheesewright romance on the verge of destruction, a circumstance
for which Stilton blames Bertie's new moustache. Though Stilton
very much wants to break Bertie's spine in four places (or
five, or perhaps six), he is restrained by the fact that he
has drawn Bertie in the Drones Club Darts Sweep, and stands
to scoop in a matter of 60 pounds if Bertie wins. Meanwhile,
Aunt Dahlia is trying to sell her women's magazine to businessman
L.G. Trotter, while Trotter's stepson Percy Gorringe has written
a play based on Florence's novel and is trying to get financial
backing.
Also known as: Jeeves And The Feudal Spirit, Arrested
in a Night Club
Based on the book: "Bertie Wooster Sees it Through"

Trouble at Totleigh Towers
Sir Watkyn Bassett has recently acquired an African tribal
totem which Stiffy Byng believes is cursed. Naturally, she
turns to Bertie to steal the object and return it to its rightful
owner. Meanwhile, the romance between Gussie Fink-Nottle and
Madeline Bassett is on the rocks over Madeline's insistence
that Gussie become a vegetarian, leaving Bertie in grave danger
of having to marry a girl who would begin every morning by
putting her hands over his eyes and saying, "Guess Who?"
Also known as: Stiff Upper Lip Jeeves, Totleigh Towers
Based on the book: "Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves"
First broadcast: 13th June 1993

The Ties that Bind
Bertie's nightmare has come true: the Ganymede Club book
has been stolen. This book, the property of a butlers' and
valets' club to which Jeeves belongs, contains information
on the foibles of the members' employers--including Bertie.
Worse, Bertie learns that this book is to be used to dish
the political candidacy of Bertie's friend Kipper Herring,
who is now engaged to Lady Florence Craye (but who won't be
for long if he loses the election). Worse yet, if Roderick
Spode (now the Earl of Sidcup) gives up his title to stand
for election, Madeline Bassett (now Spode's fiancée)
might conclude that she doesn't want to be Mrs. Spode instead
of the Countess of Sidcup. With Florence and Madeline both
on the loose, can any man--especially Bertie--be safe?
Also known as: Much Obliged Jeeves, The Ex's Are Nearly
Married Off
Based on the book: "Much Obliged, Jeeves" [aka:
"Jeeves and the Tie That Binds"]
