Jeeves and Wooster in Perfect Nonsense, review
The absurdities of the upper classes are visited on theatre audiences again. The master is the nice-but-dim chinless wonder Bertie Wooster who parries with his indefatigable valet Jeeves. Writer PG Wodehouse was a masterful social critic and wordsmith but this world of deferential butlers, dotty aunts and upper-class twits and the gentle ribbing they take may seem to some a little hollow in a modern-day Britain that is lorded over by an Old Etonian ruling class.
Ken Wilson, TV Bomb, 13th May 2015Jeeves & Wooster: Perfect Nonsense review
A lifelong fan of the works of P. G. Wodehouse, I was very much looking forward to tonight's performance of Jeeves And Wooster: Perfect Nonsense at the Kings Theatre, Edinburgh.

Becca Moody, Moody Comedy, 30th April 2015W1A's Clarkson episode was clever and funny

Becca Moody, Moody Comedy, 25th April 2015W1A: can a BBC satire about the BBC ever really bite?
If W1A were made by ITV or Channel 4, the storyline would have shown BBC executives desperately wondering whether they could get away with exonerating Clarkson for alleged violence - or, as satire works by exaggeration, even murder - because of his commercial value to the organisation. External writers might also have had fun with the negotiations between PR and legal teams that presumably led to the use of the antique term "fracas" to describe his actions.
