hmm. Very brave.
What this sort of project always does is draw attention to just how good PGW was.
Honourable mentions to Finnemore and Titchmarsh (the latter surprisingly).
Roddy Doyle also a good one.
No names but
1) Jeeves is a valet. He is not Bertie's butler. He has butled (for Aunt Dahlia I believe on one occasion), but too many of the authors reveal they didn't do enough homework. Doyle is excepted as the voice calling him a butler wouldn't know better.
2) Jeeves/Wooster has been done. It isn't massively original or edgy.
Very hard to rate so I've gone in the middle.

Marvellous collection, with J&W reimagined in multiple contexts and forms (an AI assistant as well!). The writers pay due respect while letting their own creative impulses sing. May there be many more such endeavours.

Particularly enjoyed the Finnemore, but everyone does a good job.
