Compiled by Sam Pollock
with Michael Redgrave as P.G. Wodehouse
Narrator Martin Jarvis
We find him sitting at his desk, tapping away at his favourite old 1927 Royal typewriter ...
It is a serene summer afternoon at Remsenburg, Long Island, and at 87, P.G. Wodehouse is hard at work on another instalment of the comical adventures of Clarence, ninth Earl of Emsworth. He breaks off to provide an account of "my way of life, past and present, and my opinions and reflections on practically everything under the sun."
Wodehouse died in 1975 at the age of 93, and this self-portrait has been compiled from his autobiographical writings, including "Performing Flea", "Plum Pie" and "Over Seventy".
(Repeated: Friday 11.5 am)
