From toFrancis Durbridge's incomparably suave amateur detective Paul Temple and his glamorous wife Steve solved case after baffling case in one of BBC radio's most popular series. Sadly, only half of Temple's adventures survive in the archives. Using the original scripts and incidental music, and recorded using vintage microphones and sound effects, the production of Paul Temple and the Sullivan Mystery aimed to sound as much as possible like the original might have done if its recording had survived. Now it's the turn of Paul Temple and the Gregory Paul Temple and the Gregory Affair fromin which Paul and Steve come to the aid of a baffled Scotland Yard in pursuit of a deadly and mysterious criminal mastermind. Not only has the recording disappeared but also the scripts of Episodes 1, 2 and 6. This new production is made possible by the recent discovery by a colleague in Norwegian radio of a complete set of scripts in an old store cupboard in Oslo. It isand the whole country is shocked by the disappearance of a young woman who, according to a note found at the scene of the crime, is the victim of a certain 'Mr Gregory'. Their investigations take them from a lonely Yorkshire clifftop to the Blitz-damaged East End, from a gangster-run Mayfair nightclub to a deserted warehouse on the Thames, always with danger round the corner.

View all 5 comments. Jan 05, Danuta rated it really liked it. It was first broadcast in However, the original recoding was lost and inprompted by the discovery of the complete Durbridge scripts, the BBC remade it with Crawford Logan playing Paul Temple, and Gerda Stevenson playing his wife, Steve Temple. Paul Temple is a successful mystery writer and an amateur detective who, like all fictional amateur detectives can outthink the police to the extent that Scotland Yard rely on him every time they are baffled, and they are baffled a lot. A young woman, Barbara Wallace, has been abducted. Both women were in possession of prescription drugs issued by a certain Doctor Wiseman. Paul Temple and Steve set off to interview a witness. On their way there, their car is forced off the road into the river. You get the idea. This is standard Paul Temple fare, and new listeners need to be aware that each Paul Temple mystery will proceed via a series of expected tropes. Instead, at the first opportunity, he or she will take pot-shots at Paul Temple and Steve, or try to blow them up, or drive them off the road. Or in some cases, all three. Any witness who has vital information for Paul Temple will tell Paul Temple and the Gregory Affair of this fact over the phone or in a night-club or restaurant. The witness will, however, not divulge the information at this point but arrange to meet Paul Temple later. When the Temples arrive at the rendezvous, the witness is invariably dead. Paul Temple and the Gregory Affair the end, when Paul Temple has solved the mystery, he will invite all participants to a cocktail party where he will reveal the solution, a habit from which the police should perhaps try and dissuade him, as the villain invariably cuts up rough, whips out a gun and raises a fair amount of Cain. The BBC have played it straight with the remake. There is no 21st Century irony here. The accents are as cut glass as the original version, the narrative as wonderfully far-fetched, and all the Temple tropes fall neatly into place. Paul Temple is simply an early manifestation of the mystery hero all fans enjoy. And is it worth listening to? It may be hokum, but it is hokum of the most enjoyable kind. Highly recommended, by Timothy! View 1 comment.
