I sometimes disagreed with Rumpole, such as here. I tried reading one of the stories once. The Rumpole in the story was an effeminate loser and not the swaggering but henpecked husband of the series.
Quite obviously you did not read one of the stories because "an effeminate loser" is definitely not a character description that can be applied to Horace Rumpole, in either print or television form. And I've got the story collections in my library.
@@LordZontar Why would I think it was if I hadn't read the story? John Mortimer said that he revised the character in later stories to be more like Leo McKern's portrayal of Rumpole.
@@anonygent Because Rumpole was never an "effeminate loser", not even in the earliest stories which I have read and you clearly have not. Either that or you really have no clue what the word "effeminate" actually means.
I always liked this programme
