About this listen

 For thirty years the fictional crime novelist and detective Paul Temple, together with his Fleet Street journalist wife Steve, solved case after case in one of BBC Radio's most popular series. They inhabited a sophisticated world of chilled cocktails and fast cars, a world where Sir Graham Forbes, of Scotland Yard, usually needed Paul's help with his latest tricky case. Paul is contracted by one Maurice Lonsdale, whose brother-in-law was apparently killed in a car accident whilst abroad. His widowed sister Margaret is increasingly convinced that her husband is still alive - and she wants Paul Temple to investigate! Paul and Steve find that their own lives are soon in danger as they become embroiled in a deception stretching from London to Switzerland.©2002 BBC Worldwide Ltd; (P)2002 BBC Worldwide Ltd Action & Adventure Dramatisations Mystery Mystery, Thriller & Suspense Thriller & Suspense Adaptation Marriage Fiction Crime

Critic reviews

This radio dramatisation is a wonderful evocation of a Britain which is long gone
All stars

These Paul Temples are feel good 1950's/60's Brit detective stories that will have you merrily glued to your seats for at least 3 hours of pure Temple joy. Full of fun as well as murder these are great to listen to on a cold & lazy Sunday afternoon. I so like these perfect productions, I purchased the complete Paul Temple collection.

❤️Another Brilliant Paul Temple

If you are a person of a "certain age" these dramatisations are a joy. Unlikely stories, Scotland yard consulting a crime writer, cocktails and servants, what more could you want, By Timothy! A taste of a bygone age along with bygone manners and class system. Wonderfully dramatised, and in this case with the original Radio announcement as well.

Paul Temple is a crime writer and amateur sleuth who is brought in by Scotland Yard to assist in tricky cases. He has extricated himself from car crashes, sinking boats, electrified fences and all maner of perils. Ably assisted by his wife (unusually for these times not a feminine wimp) he boldly goes to solve the crimes with which the police are baffled. You will love it!

Nostalgia.
