Before I got engrossed in this brilliant show, I considered Kavanagh QC my favourite legal drama. Now after watching Rumpole of the Bailey, I have changed my mind, though Kavanagh QC will always have a special place in my heart. There is very little I can add to the comments praising this show, but I'll try my best. Rumpole of the Railey is simply brilliant. The writing is always superb and really clever and the stories are engrossing(even some of the weaker episodes are compulsive viewing). The photography is wonderful, as is the music, costumes, locations, direction and music, while the courtroom scenes are a joy to behold. Much has been said about Leo McKern here, and with good reason, he is phenomenal playing one of the most interesting and enjoyable lead characters I've ever seen. Everyone else is very well cast, but it will always be McKern's show. To conclude, Rumpole of the Bailey is wonderful with very little wrong with it. 10/10 Bethany Cox
