Leo McKern (1920–2002)

Fascinating footage, highlighted by Shackleton's Antarctic expedition, but much more besides. Perhaps a little less time could have been spent on "Jungle Woman" - but Hurley did manage to make his investor's money back, and filming on location in New Guinea in the 1920s was certainly an achievement!

Part lawyer, part detective. But do not expect Rumpole to be a Perry Mason that wins every time, Rumpole may lose now and then and teach us a little about the real world. This series closely follows the feeling and the sarcasm of the written stories. I am sure you can say you know someone like the characters shown. More than the stories that do not leave you hanging are the comments that make the episodes interesting to watch.
