8. In Which Paul Temple Meets Valentine

Paul TempleA Case for Paul Temple
Episode 8 of 8

A final showdown occurs with a ruthless enemy at a hotel. Rebooted 1946 mystery. Stars Crawford Logan and Gerda Stevenson.

Paul and Steve return to the Esplanade Hotel for a final showdown with a ruthless enemy.

In this 2011 recreation of the 1946 vintage crime serial, Paul and Steve brave great danger to reveal the identity of the mysterious West End drug dealer known only as 'Valentine'...

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.
