Rumpole and the Quality of Life | John Mortimer | BBC Radio Drama

Horace Rumpole weighs justice against comfort, principle against convenience. ✨ Rumpole and the Quality of Life finds the obstinate Old Bailey barrister facing a case where modern notions of comfort, efficiency, and “quality of life” threaten to overshadow truth and fairness. As values shift and pressures mount, Rumpole clings to his beloved traditions — wine, Wordsworth, and the presumption of innocence — while challenging the easy compromises of a changing world. Written by John Mortimer, this classic BBC Radio Drama blends courtroom satire, humane wit, and sharp social observation. A thoughtful, often funny exploration of what truly makes life — and justice — worth defending. ⚖️📜 #Rumpole #RumpoleOfTheBailey #JohnMortimer #BBCRadioDrama #BBCDrama #CourtroomDrama #LegalDrama #BritishDrama #ClassicBBC #AudioDrama #BritishLiterature #BBCSounds #LikeShareSubscribe
