Rumpole and the Gentle Art of Blackmail by John Mortimer
.
.
Return to the deliciously ironic world of Horace Rumpole in Rumpole and the Gentle Art of Blackmail, a sparkling BBC Radio Drama adapted from the legal stories of John Mortimer.
????️ The Story:
Blackmail, Rumpole observes, is rarely crude. More often, it is civilised, discreet, and impeccably mannered.
When a case involving subtle threats, well-polished reputations, and carefully concealed secrets reaches the Old Bailey, Rumpole is quick to spot that the real crime isn’t violence — it’s respectable pressure applied in private. As accusations surface and moral lines blur, he must untangle who is exploiting whom, and whether the law can keep up with crimes committed using nothing more than knowledge and nerve.
Armed with his usual sardonic wit, Shakespearean quotations, and stubborn devotion to justice, Rumpole takes aim at hypocrisy — proving that even the “gentlest” forms of corruption deserve a robust defence… or prosecution.
In Rumpole’s world, blackmail may be polite — but justice is never optional.
???? Why Listen:
• Classic Rumpole humour: dry, ironic, and gloriously British
• A sharp satire of class, reputation, and moral compromise
• Legal sparring blended with social comedy and mystery
• Brilliant full-cast BBC performances
