Every day he visits "Pomeroy's", [1] a wine bar on Fleet Street within walking distance of the Old Bailey and his chambers at Equity Court, at which he contributes regularly to an ever-increasing bar tab by purchasing glasses of red wine of questionable quality, which he calls variously "Cooking Claret", "Pomeroy's Plonk ", "Pomeroy's Very Ordinary", "Chateau Thames Embankment ", or "Chateau Fleet Street". Girl, Woman, Other. Reihe Penguin Modern Classics. The Living Sea of Waking Dreams. William McIlvanney. Horace Rumpole - witty, eloquent, dishevelled and cynical - is one of fiction's best-loved barristers-at-law. In his late 60s, portly and permanently a trifle hungover, the rumpled Rumpole has much in common with Columbo ; with his battered hat and small cigar, he's often underestimated — as in "Rumpole and the Heavy Brigade" — but, despite appearances to the contrary, the self-proclaimed "Old Bailey hack" is a skilled defender of his clients whether they want him to or not , is dogged in his pursuit of the truth, and has a code to which he sticks.

The son of Reverend Wilfred Rumpole and his wife Alice, and born at Dulwich, [6] [7] Rumpole attended "Linklater's" a fictional minor public school [8] and studied law at either Keble College [9] or the fictional "St Joseph's College", Oxford , [10] coming away with "a dubious third " Oxford then awarded fourths, so a third is equivalent to a Rumpole of the Bailey The Play for Today series. There is absolutely no flaw with Rumpole's narrations; entertaining interesting funny witty colorful and manned with solid characters. The last two terms are particularly derogatory: the subterranean Fleet river, which flows below Farringdon Street in a culvert and crosses under one end of Fleet Street at Ludgate Circus, served as the main sewer of Victorian London, [2] while the Thames Embankment in central London was a reclamation of marshy land that, until the s, was notably polluted.

They also serve to highlight the wit and intelligence of Mortimer's writing; though they follow a formula, they are never formulaic and there's a real delicacy to the way they gently skewer the pomposity of the courtroom while also celebrating the British justice system.

John Mortimer was a novelist, playwright and barrister. The most successful stories are those least tied to a social issue of the time: Rumpole and the Tap End the funniest story in the book and probably the best story in the whole collection, Rumpole on Trial. His "never plead guilty" credo also prevents him from making deals that involve pleading guilty to lesser charges again, with some exceptions; in "Rumpole and the Tap End" he persuades his client to plead guilty to assault in exchange for the dismissal of a charge of attempted murder.

  • Professor Robert Beveridge FRSA, University of Sassari
    Culture, Tourism, Europe and External Relations Committee Scotland’s Screen Sector Written submission from Professor Robert Beveridge FRSA, University of Sassari 1. Introduction While it is important that the Scottish Parliament continues to investigate and monitor the state of the creative and screen industries in Scotland, the time has surely come for action rather than continued deliberation(s) The time has surely come when we need to stop having endless working parties and spending money on consultants trying to work out what to do. Remember the ‘Yes Minister’ Law of Inverse Relevance ‘ ‘The less you intend to do about something, the more you have to keep talking about it ‘ ‘Yes Minister’ Episode 1: Open Government Therefore, please note that we already know what to do. That is: 1.1 - Appoint the right people with the vision leadership and energy to succeed. 1.2 - Provide a positive legislative/strategic/policy framework for support. 1.3 - Provide better budgets and funding for investment and/or leverage for the same. (You already have access to the data on existing funding for projects and programmes of all kinds. If the Scottish Government wishes to help to improve performance in the screen sector, there will need to be a step change in investment. There is widespread agreement that more is needed.) 1.4 Give them space to get on with it. That is what happened with the National Theatre of Scotland. This is what happened with MG Alba. Both signal success stories. Do likewise with the Screen Industries in Scotland 2. Context Some ten years ago the Scottish Government established the Scottish Broadcasting Commission.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced info the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on untii complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Whovians Can Get Their Fix with a 'Doctor Who
    Whovians can get their fix with a ‘Doctor Whoʼ class at Syracuse University - The Washington Post 2/17/18, 432 PM The Washington Post Morning Mix Whovians can get their fix with a ‘Doctor Who’ class at Syracuse University By Soraya Nadia McDonald November 4, 2014 A Syracuse professor of digital and social media is offering a class based on the long- running British science fiction series “Doctor Who.” Professor Anthony Rotolo plans to take an exhaustive look at the wildly popular British series, which started in 1963 as a children’s show and was relaunched in 2005. How’s this hypothetical incentive for class participation: At Syracuse, if you answer a trivia question about “Doctor Who” correctly, you could net yourself a 3-D printed TARDIS or a miniature Dalek (one that won’t destroy everything in its path, of course). For non-Whovians: The Dalek are a particularly pernicious alien race set on destroying everything. They hate Doctor Who. The TARDIS is the vehicle, disguised as a 1960s London police call box, the Doctor uses to travel through space and time. Also worth knowing: The Doctor is able to die and regenerate himself in a different body, a detail that’s allowed 12 actors to play him in a 50-year span. The show is currently on its 12th Doctor, Peter Capaldi.

  • Labor Relations, 16Mm Film and Euston Films
    Scope: An Online Journal of Film and Television Studies Issue 26 February 2014 Labor Relations, 16mm Film and Euston Films Max Sexton, Birkbeck College, University of London Film as a technology has been used, adapted and implemented in particular ways within television. This article provides examples of this process along with its complexities and demonstrates how a system of regulated labor on British television during the 1970s shaped the aesthetic form that 16mm film was used to develop. The questions of how far the production process was guided by institutionalized conventions, however, is one that the article seeks to answer in its analysis of the function and form of the filmed television series produced by Euston Films, a subsidiary of Thames Television. Charles Barr (1996) has discussed the legacy of live television that seeks to develop analyses of the developing formal systems of early television. For example, the telerecordings of most of the Quatermass serials were only “television films” because they were recorded on film, but were not constructed or edited as film, although they may have used some film inserts. According to Barr, television drama may have been shot on film, but it was different from film. It was only later in the 1960s and 1970s that shooting on film meant that the studio drama was replaced by shooting on location on 16mm. Barr notes that in Britain, unlike in the US, if a growing proportion of drama was shot on film, dramas were still referred to as “plays.” Consequently, the TV plays-on-film were distinct from “films.” However, as this article demonstrates, the development of the 16mm film from the 1970s complicates some of the notions that television drama was either live or continued to be planned, shot and edited as a live play.
