The series was produced by Picture Partnership Productions for Granada Television and screened on the ITV network from 1990 to 1993. It starred Hugh Laurie as Bertie Wooster, a jovial but empty-headed young gentleman, and Stephen Fry as Jeeves, his improbably well-informed and talented valet. The stories are set in England and the United States in pre-World War II 20th century (there are aspects of the Edwardian era, 1920s and 1930s).

Wooster is a well-to-do bachelor, and he and his friends are helped out of all manner of scrapes by the genius "life-saver" Jeeves. This situation arises because in Gilded-Age England and America, many of-age gentlemen were financially dependent on their uncles or aunts, who naturally interfered in their affairs. For example, if a friend of Wooster's fell in love, he might want Jeeves's help with some scheme for getting his uncle's permission to marry her. The comic outcomes and eventual resolution of these schemes are the plot of the show. Often, there are multiple agendas and schemes afoot, and there are also "good and deserving aunts" whose wishes are to be considered in a favorable light. <math> </math></math> The Breakers, a gilded-age mansion in Newport, Rhode Island. ...
