Rumpole and the Spliced Confession | A Classic Old Bailey Mystery (Full Story)
When a juror receives a chilling recorded threat demanding a conviction, the Crown calls it open-and-shut. But Rumpole hears something else: a click, a gap, a hiss that changes at just the wrong moment. With She Who Must Be Obeyed declaring war on modern machines at home, Rumpole fights a far more dangerous device at the Old Bailey—an “enhanced” tape and a tidy story trimmed to fit.
Set in smoky late-twentieth-century London, this full-length Old Bailey mystery follows Rumpole as he exposes spliced evidence, brittle certainty, and the small vanities that can ruin a working man’s life.
Listen, and see whether you can hear the join.
Old Bailey Stories is your home for classic, BBC-style legal mysteries told in rich, audiobook-ready prose. Step into the smoky corridors of the Old Bailey, the gossip of barristers’ chambers, and the quiet dramas behind closed doors—where a single contradiction can change a verdict and a dry remark can cut deeper than a closing speech.
On this channel you’ll find:
Courtroom whodunits and scandal-led cases inspired by Britain’s great legal storytelling tradition
Witty, character-driven narration with warm irony, period detail, and London atmosphere
Long-form episodes designed for relaxed listening—late nights, commutes, or a glass of claret after hours
New stories explore reputation, class, ambition, and justice—without gore, without melodrama, and always with that timeless, sardonic British touch.
If you enjoy clever cross-examinations, sharp dialogue, and mysteries that unravel through evidence rather than noise, you’re in the right place.
