Amazon.co.uk Review
In the second hilarious series of Jeeves & Wooster, Pelham Grenville Wodehouse's immortal characters are once again brought to glorious life by Hugh Laurie as the chinless but charming Bertie Wooster and Stephen Fry as his valet and frequent saviour, Jeeves. Superb period detail, performers who seem to have been born for these roles, and a hearty helping of Wodehouse wit make these shows essential viewing for anyone in search of a sophisticated chuckle. All six episodes are included here: "Jeeves Saves the Cow-Creamer", "A Plan for Gussie", "Pearls Mean Tears", "Jeeves in the Country", "Kidnapped!" and "Jeeves the Matchmaker". --Simon Leake

 Great TV - Bad DVD copy October 11, 2001

Fry and Laurie are off once again as the wonderful Jeeves and Wooster with the able assistance of a cast of brilliant characters. It was a joy to watch. The performance is worth 5 stars at the least.However Granada cheated us again with a poor quality picture. This time providing no extras whatsoever !! They show their respect for the buying public and their product by this kind of behaviour. Do they really believe I they can get away with it ? I will not be buying any more of this series until they produce a better product. I hope that Amazon passes on this review to Granada.

The second series kicks off with an excellent two-parter "The Code of the Woosters" and has another four episodes to delight Jeeves and Wooster fans. Excellent - nothing else to say.

Series two is, in my opinion, the best of the four series of Jeeves and Wooster. Some of the more faithful adaptations of P.G Wodehouse's books are here, and the situations in which Bertie Wooster finds himself and Jeeves gets him out of, are not so farcical, but very funny.

Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry return as the scatterbrained aristocrat and his brainy butler in the second season of "Jeeves and Wooster." The series based on P.G. Wodehouse's classic novels is almost as funny as the books, with the goofy characters and tangled storylines... which are always untangled by Jeeves.
Hugh Laurie, who is now winning raves in the TV show "House," is wonderfully manic as Bertie, using his expressive face and gangly body like a less demented John Cleese. And Stephen Fry embodies the catlike grace and intelligence that Wodehouse always wrote Jeeves as having. The impeccable hair and ever-present suit don't hurt.
"Jeeves and Wooster" only got stronger in its second season, full of disgraced newt-fanciers, angry Nazis, and stolen helmets. I'm sure P.G. Wodehouse would have been quite proud.
