The critically acclaimed courtroom drama based on John Mortimer's best-selling books. Oh, the courtroom drama...may it never end! And, with all 42 episodes of Horace Rumpole and his inimitable brilliance in one ultimate package, it never will. An immensely popular PBS series that ran from 1978 to 1992, "Rumpole Of The Bailey" set a new bar for all courtroom dramas to come. Balancing suspense and satire as deftly as the scale of justice, Rumpole always wins his case. Flawlessly adapted by best-selling author Sir John Mortimer, A&E presents the complete series on DVD, each introduced by an on-camera Mortimer.
