But over the course of one unusual holiday, he nonetheless manages to triumph in two very different cases…Dragooned into spending Christmas in Norfolk, at the home of one of Hilda’s old schoolfriends, Rumpole is feeling less than festive. Chilly Coldsands Rectory does not offer much in the way of enjoyment – but a trip to the local church and a surprise encounter with an old acquaintance leads to a God-given opportunity to indulge in a little seasonal, charitable blackmail.A New Year outing to see Aladdin also provides more excitement than expected. The traditional British pantomime is one of Rumpole’s favourite institutions, but he has a vague feeling that there’s something odd about this particular production. A post-panto drink, some overheard remarks and a glance at the programme confirm his suspicions – and put him on the path to solving an audacious crime…Starring Desmond Barrit as Rumpole and Joanna David as Hilda, with Tim McInnerny as Donald Compton and Nigel Anthony as Fred Timson.Written by John MortimerDirected by Marilyn ImrieProduced by Catherine BaileyPantomime music written and played by Neil BrandA Catherine Bailey production for BBC Radio 4Country/Region of Manufacture: GBISBN: 9781787534537Publisher: BBC Physical AudioLanguage: EnglishItem Height: 125mmItem Length: 142mmItem Width: 10mmItem Weight: 94gAuthor: John MortimerContributor: Desmond Barrit (Read by), Full Cast (Read by)Genre: Films & TVType: HumorRelease Year: 2020 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
