However, writers Ed Whitmore and Tracey Malon told the website this had been deliberate, since it was a trait adopted by Evans himself in an attempt to fit into his surroundings: "Tim moved to London from Wales around the age of eleven, his half-sister told us he was very keen to fit in and soon adopted a London 'barrow-boy' accent, but that he could slip back into his childhood accent when around members of his Welsh family. Nico [Mirallegro] wanted to reflect Tim's malleability and that desire to fit in by using different accents according to who he was talking to." Internationally, the series premiered on BBC First on 8 February 2017.

Apart from the legal drama in each story, Rumpole also has to deal with his relationships with family and friends. His wife Hilda was proud of her daddy (as she calls him), C. H. Wystan, Q.C.Rumpole and the Penge Bungalow Murders, John Mortimer, Penguin Books, 2004, p. 7; this contradicts 'Rumpole and the Barrow Boy' (from the collection Rumpole and the Age of Miracles, 1988), where the fact that Wystan was never made a Q.C., and that it would therefore be inappropriate to give Rumpole that distinction, is discussed. who was Rumpole's Head of Chambers, and she frequently advocates for Rumpole to seek a higher position in the legal world such as Head of Chambers or Queen's Counsel or a judgeship.

His "never plead guilty" credo also prevents him from making deals that involve pleading guilty to lesser charges (again, with some exceptions; in "Rumpole and the Tap End" he persuades his client to plead guilty to assault in exchange for the dismissal of a charge of attempted murder). Rumpole also refuses to prosecute, feeling it more important to defend the accused than to work to imprison them. (There was one exception, when Rumpole took on a private prosecution, working for a private citizen rather than for the crown, but he proved that the defendant was innocent and then reaffirmed, "from now on, Rumpole only defends".) Some of Rumpole's clients feel that things would have been better for them if they had been found guilty and resent him for getting them off.cf. Rumpole and the barrow boy; Rumpole and the Fascist Beast, where Rumpole humilated his client to get him off, but this resulted in his being deposed as chairman of his party, after which he shot himself; Rumpole and the Golden Thread, where a cast iron alibi exposed his client as having a relationship with a woman from a rival African tribe, and his own tribe assassinated him.
