In December 2018, he hosted Good Year Bad Year, a one-off special on Channel 4 where he discussed the topical highs and lows of 2018 along with a number of celebrity guests. With people who had any kind of energy, capacity, time for hate, there would be this sort of sea of human debris around them. When they are handed a murder trial defence of an ex con accused of poisoning a beloved policeman who has been feted by the media and even rescued the queen from an attack , Adam sees it as his chance to prove himself and ensure his retention in chambers when his pupillage finishes in a couple of months. Being the grandchild of a Holocaust survivor, says Rinder, has “informed my politics, my view of the world, my instinctive reaction to people, this idea of who in the community is a bystander, a rescuer, a perpetrator”.

The ceremony took place on the island of Ibiza in 2013, conducted by Rinder’s friend, actor Benedict Cumberbatch. I liked Adam’s telephone conversations with his mother as this was a good way of adding background and fleshing out his character and motivation. Such as an Atoll that was destroyed by an El Nino, or speaking to a Berber community in part of the Atlas mountains who, before the hotel opened, were on the edge of economic catastrophe. Throughout, there are some very deep, thought-provoking and moving quotes, that may make you rethink what you thought of the English legal system in terms of criminal justice and potential miscarriages of justice. I followed the story with interest, making my own judgements as to whether the suspect was innocent, but being surprised with unexpected red herrings and dead ends!Rinder still brings joy to TV – his facial expressions when he competed on Strictly Come Dancing are seared into my brain – but in recent times he has made serious and moving documentaries, including an exploration of Israel and Palestine and My Family, the Holocaust and Me, both for the BBC.

In Morocco, Monica and Rob travel to Richard Branson’s Kasbah Tamadot and work alongside the 100% Moroccan team to discover the significance of Berber hospitality, food and culture to their guests. I also enjoyed the telephone conversations between Adam and his mother, who frets over her son’s well-being and is intent on finding him a girlfriend. Apart from the name dropping of one celebrity friend, which I could happily have done without as personally I can’t stand the woman, this did have a solid story with a very likeable lead.An overheard row between the policeman’s widow and a liaison officer and a surprising discovery on CCTV footage of events leading up to the death help Adam uncover some shocking discoveries. He also hosted Raising the Bar on BBC Radio 5 Live, which he started with a discussion with former Lord Chief Justice, Lord Judge. In November 2020, Rinder released My Family, the Holocaust and Me for BBC One; a documentary which helped Jewish families discover the full truth about what happened to their relatives during the Holocaust.

They do not know what happened to that side of the family, but Harry gives his blessing for his grandson to visit Lithuania, and the town where the family once lived, to investigate. However, Adam isn't so sure that Jimmy is guilty, and is determined to defend him to the best of his ability, despite the lead barrister's reservations. You think you’re just seeing a façade of a hotel, but in some cases they’re like entire countries, in others they breathe life into local communities.I thoroughly enjoyed this novel following Adam Green's first case: a tricky one in which he is to second his pompous disinterested pupil master in the defence of an ex-con accused of the murder of a seemingly exemplary police officer.
