Summary
Julian Rhind-Tutt takes on the role of Rumpole in this fifth collection of cracking court cases.
Rumpole on Trial
Suffering from toothache, Rumpole is in no mood for his client’s boring testimony or Justice Gwent-Evans’ impatience. But when he argues with the judge, he is warned in no uncertain terms about his future conduct. Soon, Rumpole finds himself on trial and facing the end of his career…
Rumpole and Hilda
Rumpole’s long-suffering wife Hilda (‘She Who Must Be Obeyed’) narrates a fascinating tale of murder and romance that Horace would prefer to remain untold, and gives Rumpole – and us – a glimpse of her true, passionate nature.
Rumpole and Memories of Christmas Past
Rumpole spends an unexpectedly rewarding Christmas in Norfolk; discusses the spirit of Christmas with the Mad Monk; and learns that the season of goodwill is shared by barristers and criminals alike.
Rumpole and the New Year’s Resolutions
Rumpole has an interesting encounter with Santa Claus at a Chambers Christmas party, finds himself on babysitting duty after a blackmail trial, and attends a traditional British panto – where he recognises a familiar face.
Starring Julian Rhind-Tutt as Rumpole, Jasmine Hyde as Hilda and Nigel Anthony as Claude Erskine-Brown.
A Catherine Bailey production for BBC Radio 4.

Much better
A very enjoyable listen. Much better than other seasons of this BBC Rumpole in that they seem to have abandoned the awful Rumpole / Portia love story and are treating the Rumpole / Hilda relationship more positively - not a love story for the ages but a practical partnership like it was in the books. The chapter from Hilda's point of view is particularly good.

Rumpole: On Trial and Other Stories
Lovely story with Rumpole’s wife Hilda narrating from her perspective- and nice twists in some simple Christmas tales.

Just love Rumpole x
Rumpole can not be improved upon. He is a work of genius. He really stands the test of time. He's as relevant today as he was then.

Excellent
Very true to life. Lawyers are often very witty and erudite and can be masters of irony. So enjoying these. Rhind-Tutt evokes Rumpole brilliantly.

A great adaptation
I think these adaptations are even better than the ones with Benedict Cumberbatch. They give the women much more depth of character. I find Rumpole in these episodes more likeable too. Very good gentle late night listening.
