Please rise for the esteemed court. Introducing the remarkable Horace Rumpole, a brilliant and clever barrister at London's Old Bailey Criminal Court. RUMPOLE OF THE BAILEY, a highly regarded PBS series that aired from 1978 to 1992, set the standard for all subsequent legal dramas. With a skillful blend of satire and suspense, Rumpole defends individuals facing various legal troubles such as shoplifting vicars, safecrackers, and overly amorous teachers. He frequently incorporates quotes from classic literature into his arguments, ultimately prevailing in his cases. However, he often finds himself outmatched in debates with his beloved wife, affectionately known as She Who Must Be Obeyed. This remarkable television series, flawlessly adapted by John Mortimer from his bestselling novels and featuring the esteemed Leo McKern (A Man for All Seasons), is now available in a four-DVD set. Included are all 12 episodes from the first and second seasons of RUMPOLE OF THE BAILEY. DVD Features include: a feature-length bonus movie titled Rumpole's Return, episode introductions by John Mortimer, a biography of John Mortimer, a bibliography and selected credits of John Mortimer, information about the Old Bailey, details about the official executioners of Newgate Prison, interactive menus, and scene selection.
