I have recorded it and looking forward to seeing it and also reading more of him. I wish I had never given away my books a few years ago.

I caught the Wodehouse programme yesterday evening when searching for something to watch before bed and what a treat! It really is an engaging programme and I thoroughly endorse your recommendation. Also Happy Birthday Karen. Many congratulations on 5 years of blog writing. I read your blog every day and really enjoy the quality of your writing and observations. Thank you!

I have just followed your link and watched this delightful programme. What comes across, as well as the genius of Wodehouse, is what a good interviewer Sir Tel is.
I say "genius" simply repeating what others have said because I'm one of those people that Stephen Fry envies: I've not yet read a Wodehouse book. Perhaps now I might.
And finally ... as they say on TV programmes ... the place where Wogan was standing was the grounds of the Danesfield Hotel, Near Marlow, on the River Thames. What a magnificent building it is, but why was the programme shot there, I wonder? Perhaps it appears in another guise in Wodehouse's novels?

I wondered about the location, so thankyou for letting us know, Margaret. My resident Wodehouse expert says he doesn't know what significance, if any, it may have to the books, though.
