Jeeves and Wooster: Tuppy and the TerrierITV
29 April 1990
Historical Comedy
DVD
B-
This story combines three in one, with Bertie following Bobbie Wickham's scheme to get vengeance on Barmy Fotheringay Phipps (Adam Blackwood again); Bertie letting her use his flat to host Broadway producer Mr. Blumenfield and his eight-year-old son (Billy J. Mitchell and Anatol Yusef in their first of two appearances); and Tuppy courting an opera singer. Aunt Dahlia (Brenda Bruce, my favorite in the role) wants to break up that romance, since Tuppy was courting her daughter Angela. We'll find out more about Tuppy/Angela later. Bertie's song this episode, not counting his dreadful "Sonny Boy," is the very catchy "Forty-Seven Ginger-Headed Sailors." The beginning of the episode, all that golf, is slow, but Mackintosh is a cute little dog.
Michael Ripper returns as the Drones Porter.
