* ''[[Jeeves and Wooster]]'' (22 April 1990 to 20 June 1993, 23 episodes of 50 minutes), a hit [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] series starring [[double act]] [[Fry and Laurie]] (with [[Stephen Fry]] as Jeeves, and [[Hugh Laurie]] as Bertie Wooster).  The scripts for this series by [[Clive Exton]] have been praised for their fidelity to Wodehouse's original vision although there are some departures from the stories, including the use of Hugh Laurie's ability to sing and play [[boogie woogie]] piano to have Bertie perform such songs accompanied by Jeeves.

=== Film ===
* In 1919, two silent short comedy films, "Making Good with Mother" and "Cutting Out Venus", were released in the US. These shorts were inspired by the [[Reggie Pepper]] stories and directed by [[Lawrence C. Windom]]. Reggie Pepper, a prototype for Bertie Wooster, was given a manservant named "Jeeves" who was a reformed burglar. The shorts featured [[Lawrence Grossmith]] as Reggie Pepper and [[Charles Coleman (actor)|Charles Coleman]] as Jeeves.<ref>Taves (2006), pp. 16 and 150.</ref>
* ''[[Thank You, Jeeves!]]'' (1936) was the first film to feature Jeeves and Bertie, with [[Arthur Treacher]] as Jeeves and [[David Niven]] as Bertie Wooster. In the film, they meet a girl and help her brother stop two spies trying to get his secret plans. The film has almost nothing to do with the book of that title, and Jeeves is portrayed as unhelpful and pompous.  ''[[Step Lively, Jeeves!]]'' (1937) also featured [[Arthur Treacher]] as Jeeves, who is swindled into pursuing a phony inheritance. Bertie Wooster does not appear, Jeeves is portrayed as a naive bumbler, and the film has nothing to do with any Wodehouse story. Wodehouse was very unhappy with the two Treacher films and did not encourage continuation of the series.<ref>Taves (2006), pp. 74–81.</ref>
* ''[[By Jeeves]]'' (2001) is a recorded performance of the musical, released as a video with British actor [[Martin Jarvis (actor)|Martin Jarvis]] as Jeeves and American actor John Scherer as Bertie Wooster.
