Aphrodite bribes Paris with the heart of Helen, wife of King Menelaus of the Greeks, and naturally, nature takes its course.

Exceptional listening
A must listen for anyone who enjoyed PGW back in the day or anyone who enjoys harking back to an Edwardian ambience and music. I imagined Hugh Lawrie and Stephen Fry as the lead characters and most of the other characters as portrayed in the teledrama but with a storyline much more faithful to the original. Radio drama is always better than an audible book, not only at catching the true essence of the story but also speeding the story along, avoiding some of the unnecessary flourishes of the author. Strongly recommended for light relaxation and good humour.

tracks out of order
At a certain point, this collection jumbles up the correct order of the stories.
Here is the correct order, according to Wikipedia's 'What Ho, Jeeves' page:
The Inimitable Jeeves: tracks 1-8
Right Ho, Jeeves: tracks 9-16
Here's where it gets tricky. Track 17 skips WAY ahead to one of the very last stories. So after track 16, go to track 30.
The Code of the Woosters: tracks 30-36
Thank You, Jeeves (4 episodes), The Mating Season (5 episodes), and The Ordeal of Young Tuppy (single episode) are missing from this collection entirely.
But if you go to track 43, you can pick up from there...
Joy in the Morning: tracks 43-49
Now you'll need to skip back to track 17...
Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit: tracks 17-29
And finally, go to track 37 for the final run of episodes that closed out the series.
Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves: 37-42
It's nice to have the bulk of this extraordinary series finally collected in one place, but I wish someone at the BBC or Audible had been paying attention to the track order. It would also have been nice to see the 'missing' episodes included.

The third best way to experience Jeeves & Wooster
Saying that this is the third best way to experience the books may sound like a back-handed compliment, but when you consider that number one is to listen to the Jonathan Cecil unabridged audiobooks, and number two is to read the books proper, it's actually high praise indeed.
Performances are generally excellent. Briers occasionally overacts, but is usually very good, and the Madeline Basset isn't quite right, but that aside these are studied performances.
The scripts really are wonderful, they are incredibly faithful to the source material. It's as fine an adaptation as you can possibly imagine. This is where the TV adaptation starring Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie fell down, with some poor quality and unfaithful adaptations which failed to capture the spirit of the original. In my opinion, it wasted the two brilliant stars and an amazing opportunity to commit the series to film.
The only real issue with this set is that the books are in the wrong order, which feels like a bit of a 'you had one job' problem. If you're going to the trouble of issuing this set, surely it'd only take minutes to make sure they're in the right order.

The only thing to note is they've messed up the order of the different series so when listening in order you realise they are referring to stuff occurring in previous series etc.

Wonderful, but flawed.
I have loved these recordings for some time, and was delighted to find them collated into one handy Audible download. However...THEY’RE OUT OF ORDER! Two (so far) of the stories are mixed up with one another, which has ultimately ruined them both.
The performances themselves are, for me, utterly perfect, as are the stories when listened to in the correct order. I hope the errors in ordering can be corrected.
More than worth the cost of a credit, and probably the price too. Just a little disappointing.

I had my doubts as to Richard Bryers playing Bertie Wooster but these plays were fantastic and he played Bertie to a tee!

I love listening to these Jeeves and Wooster stories. Richard Briers and Michael Hordern are perfect . My only criticism is that the books are not in the correct order. It seems so simple to get this right, and yet, whoever put it together didn’t bother to do that.
