Synopsis

“I managed to come in on this occasion just as a button-slide voice murmured: ‘People have frequently said that the sea is in my blood’. I gathered that, whereas Bertie did not want a cruise—matters of extreme urgency kept him in the metrop.—Jeeves, the sea-dog, was resolved to get him afloat.”
Listener and BBC Television Review, September 1st, 1966
