Paul and Steve take a walk to a lonely clifftop cottage. The suave sleuth's rebooted 1946 mystery. Stars Crawford Logan.

Mystery shrouds the death of Barbara Wallace and Mildred Dawson.

What exactly is the link with the mysterious Mr Gregory..?

Paul and Steve take a walk to a lonely clifftop cottage.

Another intriguing case for BBC radio's smoothest sleuth and his glamorous wife.

Crawford Logan and Gerda Stevenson stars in Francis Durbridge's rebooted 1946 mystery thriller.

The original series wasn't saved in the BBC archive and scripts for episodes 1, 2 and 6 were lost.

Luckily our colleague in Norwegian radio discovered a complete set of scripts in Oslo!

So using the original incidental music, sound effects and vintage microphones - all ten parts of Paul Temple and the Gregory Affair have been recreated.

Paul Temple …. Crawford Logan
Steve …. Gerda Stevenson
Sir Graham …. Gareth Thomas
Inspector Vosper …. Michael MacKenzie
Kay Wiseman …. Meg Fraser
Peter Davos …. Richard Greenwood
Edward Day …. Nick Underwood
Sir Donald …. Simon Donaldson

Producer: Patrick Rayner

Original series first broadcast on the BBC Light Programme in December 1946.

Recreated and first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in July 2013.
