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!

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.
