Rumpole and the Primrose Path - John Mortimer - BBC Radio Drama This release comprises four 45 minute BBC Radio 4 plays adapted by John Mortimer from four stories in his collection, "Rumpole and the Primrose Path". Rumpole is a wine-imbibing friend of the South London criminal classes, and the scourge of all QCs. Acting as narrator, he tells a series of stories involving legal chicanery, criminal derring-do and startling coincidence, spiced with a modicum of domestic strife at home. Four episodes of approx 45 minutes each. Episode 1 - Rumpole And The Primrose Path: Rumpole exposes criminal practices at the nursing home where he has been sent to recuperate after a heart attack, which has left him in dire need of claret, cheroots and good company!. Episode 2 - Rumpole And The Scales Of Justice: When Rumpole is called upon to defend a senior member of the police force in court, his relish for the tragedy of Shakespeare's Othello, and his old acquaintances among the south London criminal fraternity prove very useful, and help him balance the scales of justice in favour of the of the maligned defence barrister. Episode 3 - Rumpole And The Vanishing Juror: Rumpole's admiration for the integrity of the Old Bailey jury is legendary, but in this story he encounters a juror in a murder trial who has a very personal and very dramatic agenda. Episode 4 - Rumpole Redeemed: John Mortimer's legal eagle solves the conundrum of an ex con who seems to have been redeemed, and one who evidently hasn't, and also seeks redemption for his own sins of omission at the Lysander health club! In passing, he also bestows redemption on several of his associates who, in various preposterous ways, are in dire need of it!.
