- I think Laurie plays Bertie perfectly, but while Fry plays Jeeves reasonably
- well, don't you think he looks a bit too young? I always pictured Bertie as
- being in his mid- to late-twenties, with Jeeves at least 10 years older.

- LOVE the series' theme music, though! I find myself whistling it at work and
- annoying my office-mates. :-)
