Despite comments to the contrary this episode, is personally a good well written one.

It has several separate story strands, that are particularly interesting to my mind.

Firstly there is the main storyline involving wine, that is in itself multi layered.

With a burglary that has a member of, the Simpson clan in the frame. Followed by fraud, and embezzlement. Along with a blind wine tasting.

Then there is the new legal pupil, in Chambers Liz Probert, whose entrance is further complicated, by the holier than thou demeanour, of the Head of Chambers, Q. C. Sam Ballard, or as Rumpole has it Bollard.

Hilda has a best friend with the strange, moniker of Dodo Mackintosh, who becomes a houseguest of the Rumpole's. As Hilda has told Dodo, all about Rumpole, she is keen to see him in action. Dodo takes it upon herself, to dog Rumpole's footsteps, and spies him with, young Miss Liz Probert.

Claude Erskine-Brown has to be, one of the most pompous, and priggish of individuals, who considers that his privileged background, makes him an expert of all things cultural. Including having an innate, knowledge of fine wine, that he feels impelled to foist on Rumpole.

I've just started watching this docudrama on the BBC, and this is meant to be a dramatic version of key aspects of Peter Sellers life.

Virtually at the beginning of the programme,we have a bloke coming into an office at the BBC, and he is asked about his CV. I simply cannot believe that this term was used, in the period that this is supposed to be representing.

The actor Geoffrey Rush doesn't look, nor sound like Peter Sellers, so it's suspending rather too much imagination, for us to believe that it's actually him.

Of course I know absolutely nothing about, Peter Sellers as a a real bloke, as a dad, or as a partner, when the sole source of my information, comes from garbled news footage. So I have no way of knowing, how much of this programme, is actually based on real events, or how much of it is made under, any form of dramatic licence.

Peter Sellers private life especially that involving his female, costars become stuff of worldwide tabloid headlines, indeed all I've seen or heard of him, has been stuff regurgitated by media outlets.

This is the very first glimpse of any kind into his own family background, and frankly his relationship with his mother isn't exactly healthy, especially unto his own marital family life. He destroys house and home and, while his wife expects him to be an adult, he prefers his mother's comfort treating, him as if he hasn't aged at all.

Peter Sellers has been a comedy legend here on the radio, but you wouldn't know it from this show, one miserly scene at the very beginning, and I am supposed to believe that here is really the anarchic mayhem, spun by these comedy legends, of Spike Milligan, Harry Secombe, Michael Bentine, and Peter Sellers, these portrayals are a veritable insult to their memory.

Peter Sellers became a successful film actor here, but you can easily be forgiven for not, knowing didley squat about any of that.

Whereas his American films with some notable exceptions, were in comparison a melange of mediocrity, even giving him an apparent excuse for not, being there for his own mother in her hours of greatest need.

Maurice Woodruff was well known as a supposed clairvoyant, especially to the well heeled celebs, here he is seen as a self indulgent ponce, endeavouring to induce personality disorders, into his pampered over hyped customers.

I love Johnny Vegas so I eagerly alight, on every new thing that he is involved with, and I had already enjoyed the television, outings he had made with Sian Gibson.

So I was really hoping, for more of the same, and this episode did deliver, many of the same ingredients, that of plot-line, situations and characters.

The previous series had involved, frankly bonkers, plots, situations and characters, so The Bunny Trap certainly, delivered on all of these areas.

It was great to see all the different actors, appearing in their preposterous characters, giving their bravura over the top performances.

Janine Davitski is certainly a versatile actress, I have seen her in so many diverse roles. From comedies as wide ranging, as One Foot in the Grave, to Benidorm.

Kenneth Collard I have seen in comedies, Detectorists, and Zapped.

Shobna Gulati I have only ever seen, in the comedy series Dinnerladies.

Adrian Scarborough I have only seen in the, detective drama series Chelsea Detective.

Sarah Hadland is somehow familiar though I don't, recognise any of the shows listed for her on IMDb.

The local area's police force is sadly under, represented by its old bill constable Vicky.

Monica being Gemma's sister makes, for an interesting family dynamic, it makes me look at both of them differently, in that it gives a glimpse of, possible traits in their personalities.

Jemma and Terry have been together, now though thick and thinner, I can't be the only one who imagines, that they may well be, rather more than just friends.

Watching their business relationship I can't help but wonder at their personal one, Jemma gives me the appearance of, someone who knows just what she wants.

While Terry seems that he behaves, perpetually as the amiable wally, in his relationship with Jemma, I have to wonder just how, much he really wants to be, involved in their new endeavours.
