Editing Bertie Wooster (section)

==Adaptations==

{{Bulleted description list|wrap=
; Television <!--CHRONOLOGICALLY-->
: [[Ian Carmichael]] played the part of Bertie Wooster (opposite [[Dennis Price]] as Jeeves) in the [[BBC]] television series, ''[[The World of Wooster]]'' (1965–1967).
: [[Jonathan Cecil]] (who, like Bertie himself, was an [[Old Etonian]]) played him in the [[BBC]] tribute film ''Thank You, P. G. Wodehouse'' (1981), with [[Michael Aldridge]] as Jeeves.
: [[Hugh Laurie]] (also an [[Old Etonian]]) portrayed Bertie Wooster in the early-1990s [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] series ''[[Jeeves and Wooster]]'' opposite his long-time comedy partner, [[Stephen Fry]], as Jeeves and has been widely acclaimed as "the definitive portrayal of Jeeves & Wooster".<ref>Golden Eye Rare Books, http://www.pgwodehousebooks.com/hughlaurie.htm</ref> While Bertie's character is largely faithful to his character in the canon, Bertie is also depicted as being a capable pianist and singer, making use of actor-musician [[Hugh Laurie]]'s musical talents. He plays and sings [[show tune]]s and popular songs of the 1920s and 1930s, including the songs "[[Nagasaki (song)|Nagasaki]]", "[[Forty-Seven Ginger-Headed Sailors]]", "[[Puttin' on the Ritz]]", "[[Minnie the Moocher]]" and "[[You Do Something to Me (Cole Porter song)|You Do Something to Me]]". In the original stories, Bertie sings often and is said to have a pleasant "light baritone voice",<ref>most prominently in "Jeeves and the Song of Songs"</ref> and can read sheet music, though it is unclear to what extent he plays piano. In the episode "[[The Delayed Arrival]]", Bertie crossdresses and assumes an alias when he briefly pretends to be a maid named "Beryl" employed in the Travers household, [[Brinkley Court]]. This did not occur in the original novel on which the episode was based, ''[[Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit]]''.
; Film
: [[David Niven]] was the first, and to date the only actor to play Bertie Wooster in a mainstream theatrical film, in ''[[Thank You, Jeeves!]]'' (1936). This film bore almost no resemblance to Wodehouse's fiction. Bertie was portrayed as woman-chaser, the opposite of the more common situation in the stories, in which Bertie strives to avoid marriage entanglements. Jeeves ([[Arthur Treacher]]) seemed more of a pompous prig than a brilliant helper. Notably, when Bertie grows a moustache that Jeeves disapproves of in ''[[Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit]]'', Bertie cites Niven's moustache as a justification. A follow-up film, ''Step Lively, Jeeves'' (1937), did not feature Bertie Wooster as a character.

Jeeves then supplants Mr Mulliner as the resident expert and storyteller of the pub.

The [[Lovecraftian]] menaces are driven off by Jeeves with the assistance of [[Mina Murray]], [[Allan Quatermain]], [[Carnacki]] and [[Orlando: A Biography|Orlando]] but not before Gussie Fink-Nottle's brain is surgically removed (a condition that, in the end, causes no real difference in his behaviour). Throughout the events, Bertie remains unaware of the true nature of the goings-on.
