Horace Rumpole is an aging barrister, plying his trade at the Old Bailey. He only does crime trials and is always representing the defendant. We follow his cases, his eccentricities, his relationship with his wife Hilda and his interactions with his colleagues.
An entertaining courtroom drama series. The cases are often quite intriguing, sometimes seeming unwinnable but with Rumpole as the defendant's barrister anything is possible. The home life and the office stuff can be a but dry at times but also provide some of the lighter moments of the series.
The episodes could be a bit hit and miss though, depending on the case. Some are quite plain affairs while others are quite profound and thought-provoking.
Overall, reasonably interesting and entertaining.
