Forgot to mention that I finally watched “Rumpole and the Genuine Article.” Well-acted, and pretty well-adapted from the story*, but it runs up against the difficulty all shows have when the plot turns on a ‘work of genius’ painting, and time and budget prevent the props department from acquiring an actual Renoir or something. Now I need to watch The Christophers, another story about art and forgery and a blurry middle ground. This one stars Sir Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel:
* I was also disappointed we didn’t get to hear McKern and others drunkenly singing ‘Roses of Picardy’ in the third act.
