Fictional character in P. G. Wodehouse stories

The Honourable Galahad "Gally" Threepwood is a fictional character in the Blandings Castle stories by P. G. Wodehouse. Lord Emsworth's younger brother, a lifelong bachelor, Gally was, according to Beach, the Blandings butler, "somewhat wild as a young man". When he appears in the Blandings books, he is in his fifties, has thick grey hair and wears a black rimmed monocle on a black ribbon.

Galahad is the only one of the Threepwood siblings never to have married. He is the younger brother of Lord Emsworth and has ten sisters, all but one of them (Lady Diana Phipps) disapprove of his lifestyle. His true love was Dolly Henderson, with whom he was in love from 1896 to 1898 but who, as a music hall singer who wore pink tights, was not an appropriate bride for a man of his social status. His father sent him to South Africa to prevent him from marrying, following which he spent most of his life drinking heavily and getting up to mischief. A member of the notorious Pelican Club, he appears to have travelled widely and known many people. The prospect of Galahad's writing his reminiscences causes a good deal of consternation among England's well established upper class because he had, in younger days, been "a notable lad about town," a partier, drinker, prankster, and ladies' man, and his stories are liable to embarrass his former comrades, most of whom have grown into respectable gentlemen. One particularly embarrassing story concerns Sir Gregory Parsloe Parsloe and prawns, though we never learn many details of the incident, other than that it took place at Ascot, "the year Martingale won the Gold Cup". His wildness makes him very popular with the members of the Blandings servants hall, who feel he sheds lustre on the castle, but less so with his sisters, who find him something of an embarrassment, particularly when recalling stories of their now respectable friends. Despite the fact that he "apparently never went to bed until he was fifty", he is in remarkable shape, a sprightly, rosy, dapper man with bright eyes and a jaunty posture. His nice Millicent similarly remarks that it "is really [ ] an extraordinary thing that anyone who has had as good a time as he has can be so amazingly healthy." Galahad is widely known as a "racy and compulsive raconteur".

In the 1995 BBC television film Heavy Weather, Galahad was portrayed by Richard Briers. In the 2013–2014 BBC series Blandings, he was played by Julian Rhind Tutt.

In the 1985–1992 Blandings radio series, Galahad was voiced by Ian Carmichael. Galahad was portrayed by Derwent Watson in the 1999 BBC radio dramatisation of Full Moon. Charles Dance portrayed Galahad in the 2010 BBC radio adaptation of Summer Lightning.
