PRE:Started reading the Blandings novels when he was 10 or 11. Wrote school essay saying Blandings Castle was place he would most like to visit. Are plenty more Jeeves & Wooster stories to film. Will be filming next one in Torquay which is posing as south of France. Sherrin: impersonates Peter McKay's criticism of Ben Elton's play 'Gasping'. Laurie: would answer this criticism "violently". Elton sticking his neck out in writing a play. What play is about. Apart from Bernard Hill everybody involved are first timers in doing a play. Has been told about the ghost at Theatre Royal, Haymarket, which everybody firmly believes in.
