For once, Horace Rumpole finds himself on the wrong side of the dock!In this audacious and unforgettable BBC Radio 4 episode, our beloved Old Bailey hack is dragged out of retirement to prosecute a case for the very first time – a private prosecution brought by the vengeful family of a murdered girl. The accused? None other than Rumpole’s own son-in-law, the mild-mannered academic Nick Rumpole. As family loyalties clash with courtroom duty, She Who Must Be Obeyed issues marching orders, Guthrie Featherstone panics, and Rumpole wrestles with the unthinkable: sending a man to prison instead of keeping him out.Leo McKern delivers a tour-de-force as the cigar-loving, claret-drinking defender-turned-prosecutor, grappling with conscience, justice, and the eternal question: can a leopard really change its spots?I’ve matched the pristine original broadcast with my signature understated animated visuals: softly shifting courtroom shadows, flickering gas lamps in chambers, swirling smoke from small cigars, and just enough vintage London ambience to enhance every razor-sharp line without ever stealing the spotlight from the master.One of the most dramatic and emotionally charged Rumpole stories ever written by John Mortimer – perfect for fans who thought they’d seen everything the Old Bailey had to offer.
