As always, Rumpole is a clever barrister who, unlike some of his contemporaries, thinks outside the box which sometimes confuses them. These stories all deliver excellent entertainment with fine acting by all the players. Each story is different and each holds you to the end.

Leo McKern is fantastic as Rumpole. Awesome series, with very subtle social contexts. If you like British shows, get it. You won't be disappointed.

I loved the actors and the writing. The episodes are very well written and the British cast is great. Since I had only seen episodes of Rumpole from later seasons, a lot of questions were answered for me. The technical quality of the DVD is excellent, in my opinion.
Tremendous entertainment from some of the finest British actors, especially Leo McKern

I bought this set because I had watched it on PBS some years ago and it was a witty delight. Sharp, intelligent, funny and much more. I just love the main character Horace Rumpole and those around him. I hope to get the rest of the Rumpole of the Bailey series later. Great entertainment...as far as I am concerned.
I developed an interest in the series because I love good, smart comedy. I could not decide whether to purchase the complete collection or some part of it. I finally decided to purchase this, so that if I did not like it I could cut my losses. Well, I now intend to purchase the remainder of the series. I have truly enjoyed what I have watched thus far!
Great stuff. Oh, for a little plunk "Chateau Thames Embankment" at Pomeroy's. Horace Rumpole played by the one and only Leo McKern, should remain solid for decades to come, good acting, and a bit of English law and poetry from an old barrister. Hip, Hip.
Used to watch this series on PBS ages ago. Funny, satrical, good quality show about the British judicial system. Can't see anything like on PBS anymore. Or anywhere else. Great to see again.
I liked the quality of the item and most definately the price! I bought this as a gift for a friend of mine who was telling me how much he liked the series, so I bought this and all remaining seasons for him. He will get this for christmas. EBAY FOREVER!
