-
- I thought he was great, if you remember from the original stories, Bertie
- first thought that he was 7 feet tall, then he realized that his first
- impression was wrong and that Spode was 8 feet tall, then he realized that
- Spode had to be at least 8 foot 6.
-
- The character in Masterpiece Theater's Jeeves & Wooster was a couple of inches
- shorter than Bertie, as he probably was in real life (did I just say that?).
- Anyways, I thought it funnier that this growing giant was actually shorter
- than Bertie.
-
- Another note: the new Aunt Dahlia was terrible, who could have imagined her
- shouting a strong hunting expletive at anyone? The original one was much
- better.
