Summary
Benedict Cumberbatch plays Horace Rumpole in this fourth collection of dramatic court cases
Rumpole and the Bubble Reputation
Erskine-Brown is working on a sordid ABH and affray case which allegedly occurred in a Soho night club. When he and Rumpole visit the disreputable scene of the crime, they meet Maurice Machin, the editor of the Daily Beacon, whose paper is being sued for libel.
Rumpole and the Age of Miracles
Hilda's distant relation, The Reverend Timothy Donkin, looks set to be defrocked as Canon of Lawnchester Cathedral unless Rumpole can convince an Ecclesiastical Court that adultery did not take place in the nearby Saint Edithna Hotel.
Rumpole and the Tap End
Tony Timson finds himself in hot water when charged with the attempted drowning of his wife April, while sharing a bath with her. Rumpole not only defends Tony, but also finds he must protect Judge Guthrie Featherstone QC, who upsets women everywhere with sexist pronouncements about their proper place in the tub.

Love Rumpole
I have to say Benedict I’d great as Rumpole but do not like the actress as Hilda, she screeches her way through the stories. Sorry but won’t get any more of these books they are terrible

Sherlock is not Rumpole
The casting is very poor - both Rumpole and Hilda are older and more colourful than they are portrayed here. Very disappointed

Messing with the storyline
The acting was excellent as is the story that it is based on.
However a major change to the plot of the overarching story was not in character for Rumpole at all and spoiled it for me.
