Mortimer is probably best known for his Rumpole TV series with a legal setting and for his play A Voyage Round My Father, based on the author's own blind barrister father who specialised in divorce cases. Both provided many moments of hilarity as does the author's autobiography with its numerous humorous anecdotes about eccentric characters and the disasters which befell them and he himself during his own career as an author and lawyer.
