Horace Rumpole barrister at law, with wife Hilda (She who must be obeyed) son Nick, and American girlfriend Erica.
Rumpole's Father in law is C.H. Wystan. Head of Chambers, in Rumpole's legal Practice.
Hilda's aims in life for her husband is for him to get on in the law as a Judge, and at the very least achieving the dizzying heights scaled by her daddy. Despite years of married life Hilda still doesn't seem to know her own husband. Any woman in Rumpole's legal life, clients and fellow Barristers, Hilda assumes Horace is up to no good. She never appears to be prepared to give her husband even the benefit of any possible doubt.
Son Nick "the brains of the family" Public School, Oxford, Princeton, Baltimore University, Florida married life. Nicks fiancé Erica wants to "see something of our morays" and to view her father in law in action.
Rumpole's Chambers is populated by a motley collection of characters. C.H.Wystan is the original Head of Chambers, favouring a Silk (Queens Council) as his replacement. His son in laws legal stamping ground of the Old Bailey, is not considered as salubrious enough for a Head of Chambers.
The oldest Chambers member is Uncle Tom, starting at the Bar around the same time as C.H. Wystan. He never appears to have any legal practice, seemingly satisfied to simply play golf in the Chambers. He lives in the past, being woken up to vote for a Welsh Barrister.
Chambers Clerks are Albert and Henry, who's so keen to jump from junior to senior Clerk, he can't wait to put the skids under Albert.
Chambers Barristers are time and self serving sychophants, more interested in petty bureaucracy than legal matters.
