We were talking tonight of the BBC series we most liked. For me, Rumpole is the all time favorite. I read the books too. Worthy: Mortimer is a fine writer. Far better than Dexter of the Morse series.And Leo McKern was the perfect Rumpole. He made the video better than the books. Spouting poetry: "a beaker of the south" and carping about "she who must be obeyed", irascible with humanity and humor. If this ever comes out in DVD, I'll buy a player.
Something about the Brits. They come up with those characters we(I) love.
