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.
