That's an interesting question. I agree with Hazeltea that Rowan doesn't quite exude the suavity and grace that I would look for in a good Jeeves (although that's not to say he wouldn't be capable of it). His Blackadder is not only more malicious than Jeeves, but generally cruder -- he's more tactless and easily riled.

I do think that Stephen Fry's Jeeves is considerably more gentle and indulgent than book!canon Jeeves. Plum's Jeeves always struck me as much more devilish and dry. Martin Jarvis in this version of By Jeeves (http://www.youtube.com/playlist?p=PL6FEA0D00900A2BCD) is actually a bit closer to what I always imagined when reading the books.
