Littler and his co-adapter Rosie Tricks, who sounds like she belongs in a Georgian comedy herself, play fast and loose with this plot, its characters and dialogue.

Though Jack’s bellowing servant Fag, renamed Gieves (pronounced “Jeeves”, in an act of Wodehousian character association), runs him a close second. Source link
