I enjoy both TV writing and novel writing, and they are very similar. The goal is to entertain and amuse the audience, and I subscribe to this P. G. Wodehouse piece of advice: "Try to give pleasure with every sentence. "
Before I came to England, my favorite authors were P. G. Wodehouse and Agatha Christie. I used to devour both.
You should read Wodehouse when you're well and when you're poorly;when you're travelling, and when you're not;when you're feeling clever, and when you're feeling utterly dim. Wodehouse always lifts your spirits,no matter how high they happen to be already.
There are only two kinds of Wodehouse readers, those who adore him and those who have never read him.
I started a funny book from the 1930s called The Code of the Woosters by P. G. Wodehouse. Wodehouse is a comic genius.
