Before there was Quincy and The Practice, there was Rumpole. Rumpole of the Bailey is, quite simply, one of the finest television series, and it has served as a model for all law dramas that followed it. Edgy and satirical, Rumpole is based on John Mortimer's books of the same name. A determined and committed criminal defense barrister (whose clients have included three generations of the Timson family, among others) at the Old Bailey (criminal court), esteemed actor Leo McKern portrays the antihero Rumpole. As champion of the downtrodden, the self-righteous Rumpole loves to get in trouble with his wife Hilda, his peers, the head of chambers, and judges, to name but a few. A connoisseur of Wordsworth, cigars, and cheap liquor, McKern's usually disheveled Rumpole belies the character's dry sense of humor and astute skill as a barrister. The upwardly mobile Hilda is played by Peggy Thorpe-Bates, known for her Miss Toliver in Alcatraz Island, and Justice Sir Guthrie Fetherston is played by Peter Bowles, known for his Richard DeVere in TV's To the Manor Born.

Volume 12 features two episodes. First, in "Rumpole and the Married Lady," Rumpole helps Mrs. Thripp with her divorce--an unusual case for defense barrister Rumpole--after Mrs. Thripp's husband stops talking to her and starts leaving only written notes to communicate with her. Next, Rumple puts his own name on the line in "Rumpole and the Learned Friends" to have a thief exonerated after being framed by a crooked policeman.

Typical of British drama, production values are low while the caliber of scriptwriting and acting is unsurpassed. A rare example of a television serial that is as appealing and engaging on its 10th viewing as it was on its first. --Erik Macki

Customer Reviews of Rumpole of the Bailey, Vol. 12 - Married Lady/The Learned Friends

More than meets the eye
Just when you think you have the case pretty much figured out; ol' NEVER PLEAD GUILTY Rumpole surprises everyone -- including himself!! He is a tenacious old English bulldog and pursues the right course no matter what. Yet his humility, masked in a bumbling English persona, never ceases to bring a childlike wonder to the screen. What you see is Man in all his charm, deviousness, and pride, Yet there is something positively honest, authentic and redeeming about the barrister. He brings justice to the married couple who do not divorce, and gets "his man" - dirty Dickerson at the end. Runpole is a genuine person, not a religious or secular mannequin who postures for the public. Watch the ol' boy and learn what it means to be a human being.
