4. Mr Davos Has an Alibi

Another death, and this time the killer comes very close to home. 1946 remake starring Crawford Logan and Gerda Stevenson.

One more death, and this time the killer comes very close to home.

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 Forbes …. Gareth Thomas
Peter Davos …. Richard Greenwood
Inspector Vosper …. Michael MacKenzie
Charlie …. Greg Powrie
Edward Day …. Nick Underwood
Kay Wiseman …. Meg Fraser
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.
