Rumpole and the Primrose Path Rumpole and the Primrose Path Rumpole and the Primrose Path is a light hearted legal comedy, one of six short stories in an anthology by writer John Mortimer. It is the 12th in a series based in part on his own past experiences as a barrister but also notable for their use of themes topical at the time each was published. It begins with the eponymous hero marooned in a nursing home where he feels some shady business is going on. It was later the first episode in a short series of 45 minute radio plays starring real life husband

He also played Mr Justice Gerald Graves in "Rumpole of the Bailey" (1987 to 1992), and Hereward Fielding in the "An Autumn Shroud" episode of BBC's "Dalziel and Pascoe" series in 1996. His final television appearance was as Lord Probyn (Kavanagh's wife's father) in "Kavanagh QC" in 1997. Bailey performed several books on tape, reading books by Agatha Christie, Catherine Aird, Nevil Shute and Ruth Rendell. Agatha Christie Catherine Aird Nevil Shute Ruth Rendell He
