Rumpole of the Bailey: 6x2

Rumpole and the Summer of Discontent

Before Mr Justice Guthrie Featherstone, Rumpole defends a trade unionist on charges of recklessly causing the death of a truck-driver who was crossing a union picket-line.

Guthrie is thinking about a strike of his own, to hit back at new rights of audience for mere solicitors in court.

Meanwhile, chez Rumpole, Hilda declares she is going on strike herself.
