During meals Donna I will fire up Discovery+ and watch something while eating. A few days ago we saw that Be My Guest With Ina Garten had a new episode, this one had a British actor Emily Mortimer on. Never heard of her, but her most famous bit, at least in America, is she was in Mary Poppins Returns. About 10 minutes in Ina starts ask her about her family and mentions her famous barrister and writer father John.
Cue the depths of Brian’s hazy memory – John Mortimer created and wrote a long lost favorite British TV show of mine about, surprise, a barrister called Rumpole of the Bailey. I enjoyed them back in the previous century on PBS’s Masterpiece Mystery. I rewatched them again in the early aughts on Netflix discs. Somewhere along the line I managed to rip the entire series into cutting edge AVI files. Well, I still have them saved in the depths of my PC’s hazy memory.
While doing a little Internet sleuthing for the image above I found an article about how Emily and her younger sister Rosie are updating Rumpole and it may feature a female in the lead. Good luck to them, I wouldn’t be able to watch that and not because of the female lead (if it happens), but the show is to beloved in my heart.
Anyway, can you guess what I have been watching for the last few nights?
