When Bill Bannister meets Dr Sally Smith, love blossoms immediately. Unfortunately there is just the small problem of Lottie Higginbotham, former actress, serial bride and human fireball, with whom Bill is already involved.

The well-meaning interference of Bill's old friend, Squiffy Tidmouth, once married to Lottie, only complicates matters further, until everything is straightened out in a series of comic encounters at Bill's ancestral home and everyone lives happily ever after.

I'm glad to have found this as it's news to me, but it's really very bad and I wouldn't have tolerated it if it wasn't Wodehouse. I thought it must have been from his youthful hack period when he wrote The Swoop - a dreadful imperial propaganda piece- but no, this was written in the PGW golden age of the 1930s. If you've found this, you're a PGW fan, so of course you must read or listen to it, but don't hold out hopes. It does read as if it was written for a suffragette magazine in the nineteen teens. By Julie Birchill. Not that I don't appreciate Ms Birchill's many sterling contributions to art, but she's not a substitute for PGW, nor does she claim to be. Neither, for that matter, is Jack Dempsey, Barry Sheene, or the Archbishop of Canterbury!

Great find but surprisingly bad

Short and simple book without his usual wonderful embellishments and funny turn of phrases. Flat ending.

Not one of Wodehouse's best.

A very minor work, in my opinion, not just because it deals with a settled topic (a female doctor?? Yes, actually: they're very slightly more common than not now). But as well, it suffers from a one-dimensional eponymous female love target and a lacklustre novelisation (at four hours it feels like he just took the play's dialogue and added "she said, bitterly", or whatever, with little added value).

Is this narrator up to the job of taking a poor script for a marathon sitcom episode and extracting humour while playing all the parts? No, and I can't tell the two main English male characters apart. But it was a tough assignment, to give him credit.

Rudimentary novelisation; not keen on narrator
