Rumpole and the Tap End First aired: 12/14/1988 Rumpole defends Tony Timson on charges of attempted murder - with Tony's wife, April, claiming he tried to drown her - while sexist remarks by Mr Justice Guthrie Featherstone give the press a field day and, more importantly, upset the Lord Chancellor. 'She Who Must Be Obeyed' decides it's time for her to begin her own career in the legal profession. Rumpole and Portia First aired: 12/21/1988 Rumpole defends Stanley Culp, a scrap dealer, on charges of selling arms to terrorists. The case comes before a newly appointed Recorder - Phyllida Erskine-Brown. Rumpole and the Quality of Life First aired: 12/28/1988 Rumpole defends Lady Perdita Derwent, charged with the murder of her elderly husband. Meanwhile, Ms Liz Probert complains of anti-gay discrimination at number 3, Equity Court, and the portly Rumpole suffers from a strict diet imposed by She Who Must Be Obeyed.

A Customer from e yorks, 12th August, 2004

Using his wits rather than his legal skills Rumpole wins the case.
Gentle drama with a mix of everything,our hero often raises a smile from the audience.
