Synopsis:

The popular TV series about an eccentric barrister, Horace Rumpole, who plays at being a part-time detective, dishing out his own brand of justice, and defending the 'little fellow'. All the while, smoking his ever-popular cigars and spouting Wordsworth. Contains all the episodes from series 1 to 7 and RUMPOLE'S RETURN. Horace Rumpole is an 'Old Bailey Hack,' one of the underpaid barristers who ply the courtrooms of the Old Bailey, London's criminal court. Rumpole refused to handle most suits and will never prosecute. He always defends. Each of his trials has both a victory and a defeat in them, his clients who are acquitted often angrier than those who are found guilty. There is always at least one and often two subplots.

Horace Rumploe (Leo McKern) is a down-at-heel yet brilliant barrister. Fond of quoting Wordsworth, he comes to the defence of shoplifting vicars, overly amorous teachers and many others who pass through the doors of the Old Bailey. He is famed for always winning his cases, but there is one person who he has never beaten - his wife 'She Who Must Be Obeyed'!
