But for me he will be forever Wimsey:

I was very sad to hear this yesterday. I might have to dig out my DVD of "I'm All Right Jack"

But, as you say, will always think of him as Lord Peter Wimsey

For me, he's always Bertie Wooster. I recall the series, with Dennis Price as Jeeves, from my early childhood. And indeed he was a constant presence on TV when I was growing up in British comedy films like "School for Scoundrels" with Terry-Thomas as well as "I'm Alright Jack."

Always entertaining. Eighty-nine.

I enjoyed him as Lord Peter Wimsey which ran here on PBS in the 1970s.

I always think of him as Wimsey, too, though I did enjoy his Bertie.
