I hadn't seen this excellant series since it was first shown on public television years ago.  I was much younger then, and even though I quite enjoyed it, I don't think I appreciated just how good it was and still is.  When I saw that I could purchase the entire series for some 40% off, I couldn't pass it up and I'm very glad I didn't.  If you are an anglophile, or even not an anglophile, but are tired of the barrage of mindless mediocrity in entertainment that surrounds us, then treat yourself to hours of truly intelligent, wry, witty and sometimes poignant entertainment.  I think you have to be over 40 to fully appreciate Rumpole.  Also, I was quite satisfied with the remastering.
