Curiosidades
Rumpole has a penchant for giving literary or historical nicknames to friends and foes. His wife Hilda's moniker, "She Who Must Be Obeyed," was originally applied to the title character of H. Rider Haggard's novel "She." Phyllida Trant Erskine-Brown's nickname, "Portia," is from William Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice." Samuel Ballard is dubbed "Soapy Sam" after Bishop Samuel Wilberforce', who is now best remembered for debating Thomas Huxley over Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, but regarded in his own time as rather a slick operator. He calls Judge Graves the "whited sepulchre", a Biblical allusion (Matthew 27).

Take a Step Back in Time and Enjoy

Rumpole is an endearing character full of vim and vigor, as they say. despite his casual appearance and his well worn hat, he is a master of the courtroom and a defender of peoples rights to the end.

His little monologues in his mind are both entertaining and educational as he dispenses his thoughts as he walks to the Bailey or as he listens to the prosecutor drone on and on. His dry wit is at times so subtle that I occasionally back up the DVD to listen to his comments again. And I enjoy how most of the other characters don't seem to understand him.

While this show is a lesser known show outside the UK and the legal circles, it is worth sitting down and watching. You may find yourself doing the anti-binge watching as we do - doling out 1 episode at a time because we know there is only a limited number to be watched. We are into season 2 now.
