Rumpole and the Christmas Cards | Old Bailey Christmas Mystery

Описание: Rumpole and the Christmas Cards | Old Bailey Christmas Mystery

Step into rainy Christmas London as Horace Rumpole tackles a scandal of opened cards and missing money. When a tired postal sorter is accused, a drifting CCTV time-stamp, a renumbered evidence bag, and one “helpful” supervisor with a master key turn a tidy case into a courtroom trap. Settle in with a modest glass of Château Thames Embankment and let the Old Bailey decide what nine minutes are worth.

Old Bailey Stories is your home for classic, BBC-style legal mysteries told in rich, audiobook-ready prose. Step into the smoky corridors of the Old Bailey, the gossip of barristers’ chambers, and the quiet dramas behind closed doors—where a single contradiction can change a verdict and a dry remark can cut deeper than a closing speech.
On this channel you’ll find:
Courtroom whodunits and scandal-led cases inspired by Britain’s great legal storytelling tradition
Witty, character-driven narration with warm irony, period detail, and London atmosphere
Long-form episodes designed for relaxed listening—late nights, commutes, or a glass of claret after hours
New stories explore reputation, class, ambition, and justice—without gore, without melodrama, and always with that timeless, sardonic British touch.
If you enjoy clever cross-examinations, sharp dialogue, and mysteries that unravel through evidence rather than noise, you’re in the right place.
