The Duke of Dunstable is as mad as a box of frogs - and therefore my favourite. A special mention to Pongo Twistleton for having the funniest name. I laugh everytime I read it.
I have a serious soft spot for Aunt Dahlia too, and her constant fear of losing Anatole the marvellous French chef.
How Wodehouse thought up all his amazing characters I will never understand, but I'm so glad he did.

I just finished listening to Money for Nothing, and I have to say Emily the Dog (as voiced by Jonathan Cecil, of course) is my current favorite character.
Lord Emsworth... His love for Empress and need for peace. Bertie is my second favourite of the Wodehouse characters and somewhat similar to Emsworth when it comes to being absent-minded. It seems like Wodehouse related a lot to these two.
I love Jeeves and Bertie, but I have an especially fond feeling about Lord Emsworth. And his son, the Hon. Freddie Threepwood, is a gem also. John
Bertie! Pauline Stoker said it best when she described him as having "a sort of woolly-headed duckiness." And he's the soul of chivalry,however goofy his knightly quests may be. Sweet, kind, loyal, blathering idiot of the mixed metaphors and the botched cliches, zany and eccentric, true-blue Bertie Wooster. What's not to love?
