Rumpole of the Bailey Season 1 Episode 5

Guthrie Featherstone, with Rumpole as his junior, defends a safe-cracker who claims to have been framed by the notorious Inspector “”Dirty”” Dickerson. Rumpole risks his reputation by attacking police corruption before a police-friendly judge – and as a result he finds himself called to a disciplinary hearing. There is even the possibility that Rumpole may be forced to retire, but he digs his toes in.
