 Heavy Weather Shines June 21, 2006
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This gem of a comedy brilliantly combines all the complicated neatness of a typically barmy P.G.Wodehouse plot with excellent performances by all the actors, from Peter O'Toole's almost sublime dottiness as Lord Emsworth to Beach the Butler's perfection (why don't we see Roy Hudd in many more films?) Richard Briers and Judy Parfitt are excellent, Richard Johnson, David Bamber, Sam West, Rebecca Lacy, Benjamin Soames..all a perfect fit: Why hasn't this little masterpiece been put on DVD?

Richard Briers is truly excellent as the Hon. Galahad Threepwood in this delightful Wodehouse comedy, as indeed he is as Bertie Wooster in the BBC Radio Collection dramatisations. When this film appeared on the BBC in 1994, the Blandings saga had the makings of a great tea-time drama to rival "Jeeves and Wooster". I could never understand why a series or even a follow up were not commissioned. However, this one-off film is a comic gem of a kind rarely experienced these days- enjoy!
