Radio Times review

The series loosely based on PG Wodehouse stories rolls to a close with yet another bit of farcical matchmaking nonsense sprinkled with daft names that Lord Emsworth can turn into malapropisms. He gives us a grand tour of American attractions while trying to recall the name of Niagara Donaldson in this episode.

There's also an oversized pumpkin called Desdemona being cosseted for Harvest Festival and a pipe-smoking, suit-wearing, monosyllabic young woman hanging around the castle, although such details are really irrelevant.

You either enjoy the undemanding pantomime silliness of it all or you don't. And between three and four million people obviously do. Capital, as Lord Emsworth would say.
