Cast of Jeeves and Wooster

The principal and recurring cast, including changes of actor across the four ITV series.

Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie remain Jeeves and Bertie throughout. The table follows characters rather than actors so that recast roles are easy to compare. Series numbers refer to the original ITV run.

Aunt Dahlia has four actresses, one in each series. Aunt Agatha changes only for series four. Francesca Folan plays Madeline in series one and Florence in series four; Richard Braine appears as Rupert Steggles before taking over Gussie. Elizabeth Morton is the professional name used for Madeline in the later series; IMDb also indexes her as Elizabeth Heery.

The table covers the principal ensemble and named recurring supporting roles, with selected important guest characters. It is not a claim to reproduce every background performer or every single-episode credit. The linked full-credit sources provide that wider list.

Where a series span is not shown, the entry records the verified performer-role credit without asserting an episode-by-episode allocation. Minor credit spellings can differ between databases; these are identified rather than silently normalised.
