''Wodehouse Playhouse'' is a British television comedy series based on the short stories of P. G. Wodehouse. From 1974 to 1978, three series and a pilot were made, with 21 half-hour episodes altogether in the entire series. ==Overview== P. G. Wodehouse introduced the episodes in the first and second series, shortly before his death. With the exception of the pilot, John Alderton featured in all episodes, and his wife Pauline Collins was in all of the episodes in the first and second series. Geraldine Newman was featured in the first series. Sally Thomsett and Liza Goddard were among the actresses who were featured during the third series. Through successive episodes, we see Alderton and Collins taking on different roles, usually with different costumes and make-up, often playing different members of the remarkable Mullinar family. The repertory theatre skills of the entire cast (including Sidney Taffler as a Hollywood movie mogul in a couple of episodes, notably "The Nodder"), adopting different accents (British or American), and social mannerisms (including the more bizarre antics of members of the Drones Club as they sip their drinks and utter ritual club phrases), provide great amusement. Importantly, the screen-writing, acting, and costume and set-production values ensure that Wodehouse's funny stories are faithfully and vividly brought to life. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wodehouse Playhouse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
