PIECE OF CAKE was shown on PBS some years back. I watched it and liked it very much.

Rumpole, as much as he protests and complains about "she who must be obeyed", is really still in love with his wife. She's a nag and a bit foolish and he's resigned to it, maybe even endeared by it, appearances to the contrary. I think he's truly irritated at her constant prattle but he seldom listens, anyway.

And McKern makes him so very real. What a splendid actor!
