When Mr. Luby is confronted by visions of the Almighty, he wonders if he's in the wrong place.
When Lewis Luby wakes up in an Italian hospital, he finds himself lying under the monstrous big toe of God. Surely some mistake: Luby, who has never for one moment believed in the immortality of the soul, cannot possibly be in Heaven!

Once every five to ten years I have the desire to revisit Horace Rumpole, usually by the Omnibus books and the one or two novels I have. Don't have any videos. I know there were radio plays of some of them, I believe John Mortimer introduced Rumpole in a radio play though I haven't heard any of those yet. I found this play and decided to give it a try. At the end Mortimer talks about his radio play work and other things. He says that radio is the most difficult medium to write for but that it was one of his favorite forms.
