Publisher Description
Maurice Denham stars as John Mortimer's famous comic creation Rumpole of the Bailey.
Defender of the underdog, friend of South London villains and scourge of QCs, much-loved barrister Horace Rumpole was first brought to life on television, and in 1980 BBC Radio 4 introduced him to the airwaves for a 13-episode series.
In these delightful full-cast courtroom dramas, the claret-drinking, poetry-quoting lawyer recalls his colourful career at the Old Bailey, while being supported at home by the redoubtable Hilda ('She Who Must Be Obeyed'). From a disputed will case to a GP accused of murder, Rumpole must exercise all his talents as an advocate to fight for justice...

Absolutely Fantastic!
Thirteen full-cast dramatization of Rumpole staring Maurice Denham as barrister-at-law Horace Rumpole. I was simply thrilled to find these on the iTunes Store; I haven’t heard these for years since I had them on cassette tapes. What a fantastic way to pass the time on a solo walk or a long drive. Well worth a purchase!
Abridged with too much missing
So much of the audio is missing. So infuriating. Listening to “a bad Apple” it literally just fades out by turning down the volume as the trial is going on. Half of the trial is missing!!!! This happens so often. I want my money back. So mad. This is unacceptable and ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!
