No one told me John Mortimer died. Good grief. He's been dead for months. I had just gone to wiki to check his age, because I was used to seeing this image as his author photo:

Hearty, hale, jolly fellow in his late 70s.

And this was the image I was presented with when I started watching the new Rumpole Season 3 and 4 set I picked up on Friday. His author photo is apparently about a decade old. He last earlier this year at the age of 85. With Leo McKern dead, and Mortimer dead, I guess I'm not getting any new Rumpole books or movies anytime soon.
