Summary
From 1938 to 1969, crime novelist and detective Paul Temple and his Fleet Street journalist wife, Steve, solved case after case in one of BBC radio's most popular serials. They inhabit a sophisticated, well-dressed world of chilled cocktails and fast cars, where the women are chic and the men still wear cravats. And where Sir Graham Forbes of Scotland Yard always needs Paul's help with a tricky case.
Now Paul Temple returns in a brand new 8-part recording of a lost archive Paul Temple mystery, starring Crawford Logan and Gerda Stevenson.

Quality Storytelling
Intrepid Paul Temple and his wife Steve get embroiled in another adventure that takes them on a journey of murder and intrigue. Keeps you entertained and guessing until the very end! Master of Mystery is Francis Durbridge.
One of many quality stories for a lost bygone age

escape to another time
A classic BBC afternoon dramatization be ready to be submerged in art deco, glamour, spies and mysteries. Nothing too serious pure escapism.

Ah! TheFun!
A huge entertainment! The plot develops at a rate of knots. Somehow I hung onto the burgeoning cast of characters and had a thoroughly good time. The “period”presentation played a part, the indomitable “Steve”, those Upper Middle accents, all the “.darlings”, the “What will you have to drinks”, the murders innumerable, never dwelt-on; and the trademark opening and closing theme music which you hear many times over, the episodic form having been maintained. I’m not sure I grasped the intricacies of the plot, helped on as it was by amazing coincidences (never questioned); nor am I certain that I remember, twenty four hours later “whodunnit”! But I did have that “jolly good time”!

Pure escapism.......
These stories are pure escapism, and reveal so much about the era they were written, old fashioned and frequently sexist (the wife, Stevie, so often is the one who picks up the clues, or works out the motives not because she is smart you understand, but because she uses her "intuition"). Book after book, they find people, half dead, groaning in the bushes, bombs in car, and poison in drinks. The working classes are "the salt of the earth", women have "pasts" and dry martini's are to die for. And yet, and yet, theres something about the stories that is really relaxing and fun, or as Paul Temple might say "by Timothy they are good"............. I downloaded the first of these dramatisations when I was going through a particularly stressful time, i didnt want gritty reality, i wanted to be completely transported to another time and place.....................I am now on my 5th Paul Temple story, and love the escapism they bring.................
