Hi,
I recently got my wife the entire 'Darling Buds of May' series on dvd. I also have 'Piece of Cake' on dvd. Buds is a light hearted comedy about a lovable rogue, set in the 50's. Piece of Cake is a brit docudrama about a Spit squad that starts just before the war, carries on to the peak of the Battle for Britain. The book, Piece of Cake, is even better. My favorite Rumpole moment is the one where he comes home after a brutal day at work, and the wife announces they are not only going on a cruise....but that the cruise will also hold someone Rumpole loathes, and he thunders.."No force on Earth...." And then, of course, there is a cut to a cruise ship stack blasting it's whistle.
