Paul Temple: The Complete Radio Collection: Volume Two

The Fifties

By: Francis Durbridge

Narrated by: Marjorie Westbury, Peter Coke

Five complete radio dramas featuring writer and amateur detective Paul Temple, plus bonus archive material.

When it comes to classic crime partnerships, Paul Temple (Peter Coke) and his wife Steve (Marjorie Westbury) are the crème de la crème. Between 1938 and 1968 their glamorous exploits enthralled generations of radio listeners around the world. Here, presented in chronological order, are some of the amateur detective's adventures from the 1950s: The Gilbert Case (1954); The Lawrence Affair (1956); The Spencer Affair (1957); The Vandyke Affair (the 1959 remake) and The Conrad Case (1959). This collection also includes a number of bonus items.

Caution: these programmes contain language that may cause offense, and dated attitudes that reflect the age in which they are set.

Great stories, great performances, really enjoyed!

These old radio shows are fabulous and I've really enjoyed listening to them. The performances are great and I really enjoyed the mysteries. At the end of this "book", there is a discussion about the show itself and the performers, which was very informative and interesting. Wish there were more, I didn't want it to end!

Absolutely Fabulous!

I love, love, love Paul Temple mysteries, and this collection includes my favorite cast. I have listened to it over and over again, and I will doubtless listen to it many times more. I feel like it's as good every single time as it was the first time.

Crikey!

By Timothy, a jolly good experience throughout. Highly recommended for nostalgic listeners - that are PC tolerant ;o)

Paul Temple and Steve Bring back my memories

I grewup in England waiting for the weekly BBC radio plays with Paul Temple as my favorite. This audio book brings those better days back.

Wonderful Old Radio Mysteries

My only complaint about this is that the chapters aren't labeled with the names of the cases/episodes.
