Not sure if someone's posted this, but just heard this morning that Matthew Macfadyen and Stephen Mangan will in the show based  on The Code of the Woosters in October.

Wow. Mr. Darcy as Jeeves? Sounds fantastic!

This quote made me really want to see it:

"The brilliant thing about the Goodale brothers' adaptation is that there's not really a single line that doesn't come from the book or Wodehouse himself," Foley told the BBC.

Thank you so much for the link. I can't get to the UK to see it, darn. :-)

I'm apparently going to see it on my bday (though I'm not supposed to know that haha). So I'll let you know how it goes :) ! Bet it'll be brilliant.

I am simultaneously delighted for you and green with envy. :-) Do let us know how it went! (I wish they would film it and make it available to the rest of us!)

Happy Birthday to you (in advance?)!
