Our man Jeeves was there from dawn till dusk, ensuring that the British home and hearth were comfortable and trouble-free. Society may have changed enormously since those days, but today, demand for modern butlers has soared. In this film, we look at the history and traditions of the butler, why they were so crucial to the domestic structure, and why there has been a resurgence in their popularity.

I love the giddy look on his face when he’s talking about how the guy doesn’t know anything about being a butler. He’s so proud of his knowledge and that’s enjoyable to see

The Butler did it. In the library, with the iron pipe.

I will forever respect a butler. I miss mine and wish he was here for other people.

I believe he said shed loads of money not 'shit' Surprisingly quite an accurate picture of private service for hire, although I did notice the lack of gloves while handling items for the table setting, it's usually desired to avoid touching the utensils or napkins (anything that comes into contact with food or the mouth) for hygiene reasons

A young man who wanted to be a butler would of spent a couple of years as a scullery boy and worked his way up to being a footman and then an underbutler and finally he would become a full butler when the current butler retired or an opening for a butler in another household became available and he was seen as being ready for the job.

“He never thought that anyone should refuse him anything” well I guess we found where Ghislaine got it from.

Who attends any sort of interview dressed like that let alone an interview for a butler position?,
