Twenty-three years after the BBC laid The World Of Wooster to rest, Granada TV revived P G Wodehouse's comic stories with spectacular success, casting, in a stroke of genius, comedy double-act Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry in the roles, respectively, of gentleman and gentleman's gentleman. (For a fuller explanation of Wodehouse's characters and stories see that chronologically earlier BBC series, which had starred Ian Carmichael and Dennis Price.)
Although there was some doubt among members of the Wodehouse Society about their appropriateness for the parts, Fry and Laurie were simply perfect in the roles of unsurpassable valet Jeeves and bally ass Wooster, living in a 1920s-30s world of Hooray Henries and splendidly indomitable aunts. Both were major fans of the original books, and Fry had even written Wodehouse a letter, before the master's death in 1975, which elicited a signed photograph that remains much treasured.
Shot on film, production values were high throughout the 23 episodes and all of them were very funny. The scripts were dramatised from the Wodehouse originals by Clive Exton (who also adapted Agatha Christie's Poirot books for ITV), six of them being set in New York City.
Stephen Fry,绝对是出类拔萃的英国演员、编剧、作家及导演,同时是 哈利·波特(HP) 系列小说有声版的朗读者!给小妖我印象深刻的是他在《王尔德》(Wilde) 的表演和《银河系漫游指南》(Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy) 为其中的大头机器人 Marvin(#~:~# Alan Rickman 配音)演唱赞歌 Reasons to be Miserable (His Name is Marvin)。如果各位还没印象,那看看2006年 BAFTA 颁奖礼吧,他担任司仪呢~~

在意大利一城堡内,百姓怀着兴奋心情等待城主古罗凯旋归来,然而,他的同父异母的弟弟却妒忌兄长的才干,计划报复,首先令城主的婚礼告吹,再布局陷害,但最终还是被人揭发。 剧中莎翁经典的诗句: Sigh no more ladies, Sigh no more, Men were deceivers ever, One foot in sea, And one on shore, To one thing constant never. Then sigh not so, But let them go, And be you blithe and bonny, Converting ail your sounds of woe, Into hey nony nony! 别再叹息夫人, 别再叹息, 男子从来都是欺世盗名, 一脚在水中, 一脚在岸堤, 何曾执着于任何事情。 别在叹息, 让他们去吧, 你何必愁眉不展, 收起你的愁思哀绪,唱 一曲清歌婉转。——一开头,爱玛汤普森念得诗句,十分婉转优美。. 作者: shineyale 时间: 2010-7-22 10:45
