Rumpole and the Man of God - Rumpole defends a clergyman accused of shoplifting. I'm surprised they didn't use more the fact Rumpole's dad was a clegyman but there's very funny stuff including a great subplot where George Frobisher gets engaged to a flash lady.
Rumpole and the Case of Identity - Rumpole gets involved in Guthrie Featherstone's mid life crisis. Very fun.
Rumpole and the Fascist Beast - he defends an incompetent fascist, Mortimer lets his politics shine through.
Rumpole and the Showfolk - some gentle satire of actors when he gets involved with a theatre set up in the North. Lovely.
Rumpole and the Course of True Love - Rumpole defends a case where a teacher has slept with a student. A hot topic now. Rumpole states the case against very strongly but he does depict the girl as initiating it. Dicey.
Rumpole and the Age for Retirement - Rumpole's family and colleagues try to get him retire, and fail.
