i had these little penguin classic books when i was in high school (they were like 5x5 inch paperbacks). one of them was a rumpole book. i later bought a compendium called the "rumpole omnibus" and ultimately only read a little bit of it.
i never actually saw the show. my wife used to make fun of that book and call it "the rumpole omneebus." not sure why she thought that was so funny but it became a running inside joke for a while.
