Jeeves and Wooster Intro and Outro

Jeeves and Wooster is a British comedy-drama television series adapted by Clive Exton from P. G. Wodehouse’s “Jeeves“ stories. The series was a collaboration between Brian Eastman of Picture Partnership Productions and Granada Television. It aired on the ITV network from 22 April 1990 to 20 June 1993, with the last series nominated for a British Academy Television Award for Best Drama Series. Set in the United Kingdom and the United States in an unspecified period between the late 1920s and the 1930s, the series starred Hugh Laurie as Bertie Wooster, an affable young gentleman and member of the idle rich, and Stephen Fry as Jeeves, his highly intelligent and competent valet. Bertie and his friends, who are mainly members of the Drones Club, are extricated from all manner of societal misadventures by the indispensable Jeeves. When Fry and Laurie began the series, they were already a popular double act due to regular appearances on Channel 4’s Saturday Live and their own show A Bit of Fry & Laurie (BBC, 1987–95). In the television documentary Fry and Laurie Reunited (2010), the actors, reminiscing about their involvement in the series, revealed that they were initially reluctant to play the parts of Jeeves and Wooster, but eventually decided to do so because the series was going to be made with or without them and they felt no one else would do the parts justice. The theme (called “Jeeves and Wooster“) is an original piece of music in the jazz/swing style written by composer Anne Dudley for the programme. Dudley uses variations of the theme as a basis for all of the episodes’ scores and was nominated for a British Academy Television Award for her work on the third series. (Wikipedia)
