I introduced my sister to the resurrection of the TV series "Doctor Who," recently, and in exchange, she introduced me to the old British comedy "Jeeves and Wooster."

The story revolves around Bertie Wooster, a young man of the idle rich persuation, and his valet, Reginald Jeeves. Jeeves is a man with a masterplan, while Wooster is just stupid. It has befallen Jeeves to bail Wooster (and his friends) out whenever necessary.

The series is hilarious. And dry, of course, since the stories were created by the Brits, but very very witty. If you’re used to slapstick humour, this show would probably bore the pants out of you, but the acting and the writing alone is ingenious beyond words.

Here’s a short clip from the start of the series: the first meeting of Jeeves the valet, and Bertie Wooster.

If you can tell me who the guy acting as Bertie Wooster is, you get a prize. The entire show was adapted from the collection of Jeeves stories written by author P.G. Wodehouse.
