The Silver Jug 🎩🧐 Jeeves and Wooster S2E1 🤷‍♂️🏰

Complex romantic relationships become further tangled by a one-of-a-kind silver cow-shaped creamer coveted by Bertie's Uncle Thomas and his opponent, Judge Sir Watkyn Bassett. Sir Watkyn deceitfully acquires the creamer, claiming to the store owner that Thomas had dispatched him. Bertie's Aunt Dahlia and his pal "Stiffy" Byng each have their own motives for wanting him to purloin the creamer. However, Bertie is hesitant, as Judge Sir Watkyn has previously sentenced him for swiping a police officer's helmet, and he wishes to avoid imprisonment.

Trivia:

The shooting site for Sir Watkyn's residence is actually Highclere Castle, the exact location used in Downton Abbey.

This episode and its sequel (s2e2) are derived from the novel "The Code of the Woosters," which is often regarded as the pinnacle of the entire Bertie Wooster series. The two episodes together represent Wodehouse's satirical view of the Nazi Black Shirts, inspired by his experiences during World War II when he was interned in Germany after being captured in France following the German invasion.

The character Roderick Spode is inspired by the real-life figure Sir Oswald Mosley, the founder of the Saviors of Britain, a British fascist group in the 1930s patterned after Mussolini's Black Shirts.
