“Jeeves and the Great Sermon Handicap” is the third episode of the first series of The World of Wooster and was adapted by Michael Mills. It is considered lost.
On October 2016, it was announced as recovered in the form of a 16mm print from an unnamed collector and planned to be shown during the BFI's Missing Believed Wiped1 of that year, but was found prior to screening to be a copy of “Jeeves and the Delayed Exit of Claude and Eustace”2.
