Now that this idea of George as Bertie Wooster was introduced to my brain, I seem to be unable to shake it off! Now I see him as a Bertie Wooster with a dash of Blackadder, and a tendency to bright ideas a la Baldrick's 'I've got a cunning plan...' Poor George.

I guess I'll just have to actually *buy* that biography about George when it's published! Doug Who wonders if the Earl of Blandings mightn't be better as a comparison, rather than Bertie? It's been so long since I've read them, though...
