Dear Friends o'er the Pond [and any who love British comedy on the tele]:
I love RUMPOLE OF THE BAILEY. I first became acquainted Leo McKern in the flick LADYHAWKE and am grateful that our public library has an extensive collection of the inimitably poetic, barb-slinging barrister. Old Darling!
Anyway, he defends but does not prosecute. Ironically, I just watched an episode entitled RUMPOLE AND THE ALTERNATIVE SOCIETY, wherein he defends a young member of a commune. That certainly struck a responsive chord.
If he were a prosecutor, I wonder how he'd fare pitted in a case against Mother, "she who must be obeyed." At the very least, he would have the courtroom in stitches.
Apart from all the above folderol, do YOU have a favorite British comedy? [my real point, actually!]
