1. In Which Paul Temple Hears About Valentine

Paul TempleA Case for Paul Temple
Episode 1 of 8

Is there a link between ten apparent drug addict suicides, all in one week? Reboot of the 1946 mystery. Stars Crawford Logan.

Ten apparent suicides in one single week and all of them drug addicts.

Scotland Yard is desperate for Temple's help.

In this 2011 recreation of the 1946 vintage crime serial, Crawford Logan stars as Paul Temple and Gerda Stevenson as Steve.

Between 1938 and 1968, Francis Durbridge's incomparably suave amateur detective Paul Temple and glamorous wife Steve solved case after baffling case in one of BBC radio's most popular series. They inhabited a sophisticated, well-heeled world of cocktails and fast cars.

Sadly, only half of their adventures survive in the archives. But in 2006, the BBC began recreating them using original scripts and incidental music, and recorded with vintage microphones and sound effects.
