Описание: The Evidence of Embarrassment | A Lost Rumpole Case at the Old Bailey | Full Story

In the echoing corridors of the Old Bailey, a shy usher is accused of indecency—and the case is treated as “swift and simple” by police and prosecutors eager to avoid embarrassment. But Rumpole smells panic, paperwork, and a story that has grown too neat. With a blocked corridor, a stubborn rota, a quiet piece of CCTV, and a boyfriend’s letter demanding “compensation,” he sets out to prove that shame can be as dangerous as malice.
Pour a modest glass of Château Thames Embankment and join Old Bailey Stories for **The Evidence of Embarrassment**—a dry, humane, courtroom mystery where small facts refuse to blush.

Old Bailey Stories is your home for classic, BBC-style legal mysteries told in rich, audiobook-ready prose.

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.
