Propose Merge

I propose a merge of the several short articles on minor Wodehouse characters to P. G. Wodehouse (minor characters) in line with normal practice for fictional subjects on WP. This should also give a more consistent style and cover age (as copied from the small articles, you'll see quite a disparity between them) - Just zis  Guy, you know?

Spode is a star in the TV series 'Jeeves & Wooster' & a shining exception to the general miscasting (Jeeves isn't old enough, Bertie isn't youngenough, Madeline Bassett isn't silly enough & Sir Watkyn isn't nasty enough). There's a brilliant scene (not in the book) where he outlines his five-year plan. "Norfolk shall make umbrellas and Suffolk shall prodice their handles." In spite of this, Spode is less grotesque than Mrs Bingo Little's caricature of him as the wholly unbelievable 'Sir Oswald Mosley.'
