It s almost 30 years since bon viveur TV barrister Horace Rumpole summed up for the last time at the Old Bailey.

The Mail on Sunday can reveal that the daughters of Rumpole creator Sir John Mortimer are writing fresh scripts with a woman taking the starring role.
Acclaimed actress Emily Mortimer has spent the past two years working on the project with her journalist sister Rosie, and sources say the drama will reflect the current state of the sexes in the courts, where there are now more female lawyers than male.
