Thoroughly enjoyed this. It's quite brave of the BBC to produce a series based on what some would call an outdated style of humour; not an indecent scene nor foul word in sight! Could this be any more different to Mrs Browns Boys? Incredibly, Browns Boy's scores more highly here at IMDb; that totally perplexes me. In my opinion, none of the principal roles are easy to play. The cast all take aim and have a very good shot. Occasionally the performances are priceless; there is some very skillful acting here. Sometimes something seems missing; perhaps a little more could have been extracted from the script. However, the sum is greater than the parts and the result is charming and funny. For those who criticise it as a poor reflection of Wodehouse's writings, I cannot comment as I have not read him. However, this series inspires me to do so and surely that is a great complement.
