Rumpole

The series about Horace Rumpole was originally a television series that aired in Britain. Later on, the early episodes were adapted into stories and novels. The stories are adapted from the episodes and the novels are adapted from different movies. Although, there have been some novels that were written only as novels. The episodes were written by John Mortimer (who is a barrister), as were the stories and novels. The series started in the year 1978, and was inspired by the “Rumpole of the Bailey” production that was a stand alone work. It aired in 1975, and serves as a pilot for the later series.
