With the Sixties swinging, Julian Rhind-Tutt gives us a Rumpole in his prime, recounting ten tales which find the tireless defender swapping sides to appear for the prosecution; coming to the aid of a doctor accused of unprofessional conduct; and suffering the indignity of wrongful arrest. We leave him facing a life-changing decision: after many years of falling in and out of love with both women, will he finally leave Hilda to be with Phyllida?

Music Technology From Scratch answers these questions, and more. Exploring both the theory and practice of music technology, it gives the reader clear information on how equipment works and how to get the best results from it. Author John Mortimer’s creation, Rumpole Of The Bailey, is a phenomenon. Following one-off plays on BBC1 in 1968 and 1975, Thames Televsion took up the mantle, resulting in over 40 dramas between 1978 and 1992. A similar number have been produced on BBC Radio over the years. Suffering from toothache, Rumpole is in no mood for his client’s boring testimony or Justice Gwent-Evans’ impatience. But when he argues with the judge, he is warned in no uncertain terms about his future conduct. Soon, Rumpole finds himself on trial and facing the end of his career… And if you're neither a teacher nor student, if you are interested in how Music Technology works, this is for you. If you are thinking of setting up a studio in your home, buying some software to make your own Music or wondering what to equip yourself with next, 'Music Technology from Scratch' will answer most of your questions and help you get started. Do you know what, I've actually just been nodding to you. I'm nodding to the life I wish I had. I've just bought a flat, actually. In north London. I have not always lived in north London. This is turning into a French oral. It's the first time I've bought a flat. Before, I lived with my dad. I'm hanging out for the remake of Sorry. I quite like the idea that maybe I have always lived at home, all my life, until, careering through my 30s, I finally decided to buy a flat. I wish that was true. A man who has never left home - I could open a museum. No, I hang out with my dad sometimes, since the untimely and rather irresponsible death of my mother." I'm sorry. "No, it's fine. She's never done it before." He's not as straightforward as he would have you believe, in other words, but then, I think the only reason he seeks to seem so straightforward is that it would be impolite to be any other way.For students of any age, this book will act as both a reference / learning resource and a mini library of Technology - to dip into when you forget or need to know something about a piece of equipment or a process. Every student should buy one and keep it next to their recording equipment. Not all colleges or schools will be able to introduce you to the wide range of equipment and processes covered in this book, so make sure you cover all the bases and buy 'Music Technology from Scratch' - it's even small enough to slot into your tablet or laptop case! Macdonald, Marianne (10 December 2009). "Julian Rhind-Tutt - the Wing man". Evening Standard . Retrieved 16 January 2013. This is a polite man - as for the rest of it, the talent leaps off the telly, the wit leaps off everything he says. One day he'll be a national treasure, and I think probably in a Hugh Grant timescale (which is to say, pre-40s), rather than a Pete Postlethwaite one (where you have to wait until you're 60). Fully illustrated throughout, diagrams and photos provide step-by-step guides to using your equipment. It includes tips and hints on polishing your recordings and making sure your sessions run smoothly, 'test yourself questions' and 'projects' at the end of each chapter, and a full glossary explaining all technical terms and concepts. It is also enhanced by online videos with explanations of equipment and techniques. As time passed Jane and Thomas looked forward to grandchildren and hoped that the new family name would continue, but one daughter Iny died at just 12-years-old, the other three remained spinsters and the two boys George and Charles were still single when their mother Jane died in 1899.

For all its cheesiness, Notting Hill delivers a very great deal of pleasure, and what feels incredible now is the quality of cast in tiny supporting roles: Dylan Moran, James Dreyfus, Henry Goodman, Julian Rhind-Tutt, Clarke Peters, a young Mischa Barton, Emily Mortimer, Samuel West and Sanjeev Bhaskar. Plus there’s a cameo from Alec Baldwin as Julia’s horrible movie-star boyfriend. Omid Djalili has a subliminal appearance as the guy who sells William the fateful orange juice that he spills all over Anna; and Andrew Haigh, director of Weekend and 45 Years, appears in in the final credits as the work experience guy. Based in a village location in the Polden Hills of rural Somerset, between Glastonbury and Bridgwater, Q26 is a family run private limited company. New to 4 Extra. A seasonal offering from BBC Radio 4 Extra as part of Wonder... At Christmas. Julian Rhind-Tutt stars as curmudgeonly barrister, Horace Rumpole, who finds himself reluctantly immersed in Christmas spirit.

Rumpole is perhaps the most loveable curmudgeon in the literary realm. He is a barrister with no ambition whatsoever other than winning each case. He is married to Hilda, a daughter of a far more ambitious barrister turned judge, who looks at her husband with jaundiced eye as he lets opportunities for advancement pass him by. I was put off Green Wing for ages, because my mother kept asking if I'd seen it, then re-enacting it for me in frame by frame detail. Once I started watching it, I did understand how it could inspire such enthusiasm - though I would stress that it was still very annoying. I described Rhind-Tutt earlier as the love interest, which doesn't quite go with the atmosphere of the piece: it makes it sound like Holby City, when in fact what he does is ask for scalpels in regional accents, and taunt Tamsin Greig into trying to kiss him, then running away. And in Rumpole and the Old Boy Net (where he criticises the public school system) he is opposed to a member of a LAC (Lawyers As Churchgoers) who represents the Queen in a case he expresses his wish that the prosecution will be conducted in a Christian spirit. “You can rely on me for that“ the guy says. And Rumpole: “Perhaps you’ll show a certain reluctance about casting the first stone.” When the call for Green Wing came through, Rhind-Tutt had decided not to do any more telly, which seems a little previous because he hadn't actually done that much. "I'd spoken to my agent a couple of hours earlier, saying, 'I'd like to get off the television, I'd like to get off this stuff of being a normal, regular actor.' I wanted to play a syphilitic violin player in a European art house movie. And they said, 'There's some bunch of people in a church hall on Tottenham Court Road somewhere, trying to get a comedy together. They're all quite nice, it might be quite a laugh, there's no harm in going down, is there?' I said, 'That's the last thing I want to do.' And then I nipped down there. That was two years ago." Except it must have been more. "Yes. It was three years ago." I ask whether he's ever been unemployed for any length of time - come on, some disappointment, some humiliation and rage. "Not that I've noticed. But that's because it takes me so long to do the fundamentals of day-to-day life that I could happily retire now and do the other things I want to be getting on with, and that would take me comfortably through to the end of my life."
