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. Flying home from a lecture tour of America, Paul Temple encounters Mike Langdon who is seeking to persuade his employer's spoilt daughter Julie to give up her boyfriend, pop-singer Tony Wyman. Meeting Paul at the airport, Steve is drugged and kidnapped. She is released without harm - but mysteriously in possession of a coat, bearing the label 'Margo'. As Mike seeks Paul's help, the Temples enter into a dangerous web of lies and murder.© and (P)2004 BBC Audiobooks LTD Crime Fiction Drama & Plays European World Literature Fiction Crime Mystery

That wonderful music, the “BBC”, Steve’s incredible Upper Middle accent, my nostalgic image of a family gathered round the wireless and, of course, Paul Temple’s manly, English tones. It’s all so old- fashioned and reassuring… . There’s never a cloud in the sky for Paul and Steve’s “darling” relationship which is so hugely, smilingly good-tempered!! Who cares that Steve, no fool, is patronised, or that the plots of these adventures are very similar: I’m addicted, as I know many of you will be!

Tongue in cheek? Yes.... but so easy to listen to. BBC Radio have some wonderful old plays which have been resurected and this is one of them..

Wonderful!

Great story (despite the laughably outdated attitudes) and some great performances by the actors. Unfortunately the editing of the individual recorded segments is terrible: almost every fade out starts too early - while a character is still speaking - and the last couple of words are lost. Given the large number of separate recorded segments involved you are continually reminded of this ineptness, and it spoils the end result.

Great story, terrible editing
