Rumpole of the Bailey/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The episode "Rumpole and the Last Resort" has one for Rumpole's wife Hilda, and another for Rumpole himself: After Rumpole fakes his own death as part of a Batman Gambit, the slimy solicitor Blythe attempts to persuade Hilda to accept a small fraction of what he owed to Rumpole in back fees, but she forces him to pay the full amount; then Rumpole appears in the courtroom during Judge Bullingham's eulogy for him, and proceeds to question Blythe within an inch of his life.
  • Claude Erskine-Brown finally gets one in "Rumpole and the Reform of Joby Jonson," in which he chews out Sam Ballard--in public--for undermining his application for promotion to QC. Even Phyllida is impressed.
