Rumpole of the Bailey

A clever and witty London barrister defends the most unlikely clients, often getting himself into humorous misadventures. His unorthodox methods and sharp tongue make him a lovable and memorable character.

Rumpole of the Bailey is a British television series created and written by the British writer and barrister John Mortimer. It stars Leo McKern as Horace Rumpole, an aging London barrister who defends any and all clients, and has been spun off into a series of short stories, novels, and radio programmes.
