Rumpole: The Primrose Path & Other Stories: BBC Radio 4 Dramatisations
Timothy West takes on the role of Rumpole in these four delightful dramas featuring the wily barrister
Rumpole and the Primrose Path
Rumpole exposes criminal practices at the nursing home where he was sent to recuperate after a heart attack, leaving him in dire need of claret, cheroots and good company.
Rumpole and the Scales of Justice
When Rumpole defends a senior policeman in court, his love for Shakespeare’s Othello and his old acquaintances in the south London criminal fraternity prove very useful.
Rumpole and the Vanishing Juror
Rumpole’s admiration for the integrity of the Old Bailey jury is legendary – but he is mystified when his most promising juror in a murder trial suddenly disappears…
Rumpole Redeemed
Invited to dinner at his local prison, Rumpole solves the conundrum of whether an ex-con can be reformed – while also seeking redemption himself.
Timothy West stars as Rumpole, with Prunella Scales as Hilda, Michael Cochrane as Sam Ballard, Nigel Anthony as Claude Erskine-Brown and Sophie Thompson as Luci Gribble.

This dramatization was more cheerful in tone than the two books I've read: Rumpole of the Bailey and Rumpole's Last Case.

An entertaining set of four stories about various cases handled by Rumpole of the Bailey. I have a real fondness for stories about the crusty old barrister and this audio collection kept up the usual standard of entertainment with mystery (did he/she do it), dry humour and a healthy dose of cynicism.

Lots of laugh out loud moments.
