The biggest difference between Hugh Fraser's Hastings and Jonathan Cecil's Hastings is that Hugh Fraser's is ready to jump into action at the slightest command while Jonathan Cecil's would just...stand there.

#original post #Poirot #Hastings #Hugh Fraser #Jonathan Cecil #Hugh Fraser's Captain Hastings may be perpetually three steps behind but Jonathan Cecil's isn't usually on the same planet #teddy bear musings #kinda wanna rewatch Thirteen at Dinner now that I'm more accustomed to the characters though

I know most people mentally hear the Jeeves books in Hugh Laurie's voice, which is all well and good, but I think Jonathan Cecil deserves some appreciation too, so I've put together a collection of some of my favorite line deliveries from the audiobooks! This is what Jeeves and Bertie sound like in MY head.

Ryan O'Neal with Jonathan Cecil and Anthony Dawes (?) Barry Lyndon (1975) Dir. Stanley Kubrick

"Oh, Jonathan. It's times like this that I realize how much I care for you, and how impossibly empty life would be without you."

"Oh, Frederick!"

The Diary of a Nobody (BBC, 1964)

"In the evening, Cummings unexpectedly dropped in to show me a meerschaum pipe he had won in a raffle in the city and told me to handle it carefully, as it would spoil the colouring if the hand was moist. He said he would not stay, as he did not care much for the smell of paint, and fell over the scraper as he went out. Must get the scraper removed - or else I shall get into a scrape. I don't often make jokes."

Wooster fans! If you are looking for a good audiobook version of Jeeves and Wooster, I'd recommend any version read by Jonathan Cecil, he's narrates the series the best imo. (This isn't a paid promotion or anything, I just like his narration a lot! )

Hot Millions! I used to watch this or A Private Function at least once a week when I was little to get my requisite Maggie Smith fix. Ustinov is very cuddly here (ditto Topkapi) and reminded me of Walter Slezak during his Hollywood period; I prefer Ustinov a good-natured working-class villain over his more, erm, erudite roles. Good Poirot, though, and I loveloveloved Jonathan Cecil as his Hastings.
