by bertie tho - so he prob isnt actually like that tbh. i dont really see fry's interp as supercilious tho. i feel like hes subtle when he acts above bertie, but thats how the character is written too - those caustic "indeed sir"s

i think he's good as jeeves but when i read the books i usually imagine a slightly older, graver, less twinkly jeeves. laurie's wooster is definitive imo, almost to an annoying extent (hard for me not to hear his voice when i read wodehouse).

Jeeves is not described as smug or supercilious - by Bertie or anyone else.

Alarmed that somebody early in the thread thinks Rich Hall ruins QI whenever he appears. But he's usually the funniest person in whatever show he's in.
I do get a bit tired of some aspects of QI but I think it has less annoyances than a lot of the other panel shows. It's pretty good for whenever I'm feeling too shit or lazy to do anything else, I never go out of my way to watch it but I usually enjoy it.
I liked Fry's programmes on language, homophobia and bi-polar condition. The homophobia one (2 episodes) had some really uncomfortable moments and I thought he was very gutsy and admirable in it.

to each his own age gap, but his spouse should at least get an adult haircut.
