A perfect storm is brewing over Blandings Castle. As Lord Emsworth battles to prevent a pig-napping, Lord Tilbury lurks, desperate to filch Gally Threepwood's sensational memoirs, and those formidable sisters, Julia and Constance, will stop at nothing to sabotage the nuptials of Ronnie Fish and his chorus girl sweetie, Sue. Also in the mix are Parsloe-Parsloe, Monty Bodkin, Percy Pilbeam, and a very confused Beach the butler, drawn into events by a heady cocktail of loyalty and self-interest. Surely the storm will peter out and the thunder roll away...but what will it leave in its wake? Heavy Weather is P.G.

Martin Jarvis inhabits this masterpiece of cross-purposes with dazzling vocal dexterity, adding another laugh-out-loud performance to his many Wodehouse readings.
