Ditto chez Ferney. Turning Wodehouse's foxtrotting prose into screen images was alwys going to be difficult, but to give up before the first hurdle and turn it into some sub-Viz slapstick - unforgivable!Originally posted by Caliban View Post

Oh well, ferney and Cali, I will not search it out on iplayer. Shame. Although, if it's that bad and like Viz, I very well might!
Have they turned it into some Tom Sharpe thingy?

Having ordered a new pump for the Bissell, I am now primed and ready for you all to seek a Q for me.
This versatile Q had a Voice in spite of disability, he believed with Penderecki, jazzed it up, then stopped.Pacta sunt servanda !!!Comment

I must agree with Mine Host and with ferney. I have long been a great fan of PGW, but that travesty was a disgrace. I stuck it for about ten minutes. I wonder whether anyone involved with that alleged "adaptation" has ever read any of the Blandings books. Lord Emsworth and Beach have been seriously miscast, and I'm not convinced about Freddie and Connie either.Originally posted by Anna View PostOh well, ferney and Cali, I will not search it out on iplayer.

Oh dear. I am far from being gruntled - in fact, I am actually disgruntled.

Have you tottered onto the wrong thread, Beefy?
Either that, or it's a VERY cryptic stab at Flay's Q...
On second thoughts it could refer to the "jazzed it up and then stopped" part of the puzzle, I suppose....

Is it not Mr Quasthoff? A thalidomide victim, he did some jazz recordings near the end of his career, and now teaches... Not sure about the Pender connection: presumably had a work written for him?Originally posted by Flay View Post"...the isle is full of noises,
