Plum - A Portrait of of the life of P.G. Wodehouse (1989x12)

Air date: Dec 25, 1989

P.G. Wodehouse, perhaps best known and best loved of English comic novelists, is still something of a mystery. Affable and accessible to journalists, he was cripplingly shy and remained inscrutable about his private life. Bookmark traces his career, from an Edwardian middle class family to his experiences in a German internment camp, with the help of Tom Sharpe, Barrie Pitt, Lady Frances Donaldson, Sir Edward Cazalet and Lt Col Norman Murphy, a Wodehouse scholar who claims to have discovered the origins of Blandings Castle.
