"Rumpole and the Genuine Article" - Rumpole defends a forger, makes fun of the art world and deals with Justice Featherstone. Great fun.
"Rumpole and the Golden Thread". Rumpole goes to Africa- a country based on Nigeria and wins a case he's meant to lose. The setting makes this very fresh.
"Rumpole and the Old Boy Net". Very funny with Rumpole defending some old school tie types who run a brothel. Rumpole meets his new head of chambers, Soapy Sam Ballard - a nasty stuffy little Christian, presumably introduced because he's more of a decent antagonist than Guthrie.
"Rumpole and the Female of the Species". Rumpole decides to champion female barrister Fiona. Some very funny comedy although the sexual politics are dicey.
"Rumpole and the Sporting Life". Rumpole defends Fiona's sister who is accused of murder. Fun satire of country life.
"Rumpole and the Last Resort". Hilarious ep with Rumpole faking his own death.
