Historical Comedy

B-

This episode blends two short stories, the less interesting one with Aunt Agatha trying to matchmake Bertie again, this time with what turns out to be half of a team of swindlers.  In the other plot, Bertie's forgetful friend Biffy has literally lost his love and Jeeves, for reasons of his own,  isn't helpful.  Biffy accidentally gets engaged to Honoria (Liz Kettle again), and so Bertie tries to get him to offend Sir Roderick and Lady Glossop (Roger Brierley and Jane Downs as before).  Bertie gets to sing and, while it's not one of his classics, it's a welcome return.  And Martin Clunes, Richard Dixon, and John Pirkis are back as Barmy, Oofy, and Freddie respectively.
