Paul Temple and the Margo Mystery (1961): The suave sleuth tries to connect his wife's kidnapping with a body dressed in an expensive designer coat.

Paul Temple and the Jonathan Mystery (1963): After meeting an American couple on a flight, Paul Temple is soon investigating another murder in this 1963 remake.

This volume also includes the bonus 2005 radio feature Peter Coke and the Paul Temple Affair, introducing the man behind radio's smoothest and most sophisticated sleuth. Actor Peter Coke talks to Michaela Saunders about how he got the part, what he thinks of his famous catchphrase and more.

liked it but,

two of the stories were in earlier parts of this series. I feel that I did not get my monies worth. my wife and I really like the performances.

Some of best Temple stories

Excellent set of stories and interesting interview at the end. I used wait for these as I grew up in England. In those days, I had no TV and weekly BBC broadcasts were highlights.

Lots of fun

I love British radio dramas and Paul Temple doesn’t disappoint. A British twist on Nick and Nora Charles.

delightful

I thoroughly enjoyed each and every story. The performances were delightful. Certainly light entertainment perfect for bedtime listening.

Actors

wonderful performances!!!! just 👍 perfect....can't say enough. where are these kind of things today? top knotch

Good entertainment value "if"

If you are a mystery junkie like me, and are willing to overlook some highly dubious (and sometimes repetitive) plot lines for the joy of a glimpse of British life that probably never existed. Pure escapism and quite violent, both of the main characters scarcely flinch as bodies drop all around them. Still you get 8 seasons of classic BBC radio, quite a bargain for the cost of one book!
