Summary
A brand new, fully dramatised remake of the lost archive drama Paul Temple and Steve, starring Crawford Logan and Gerda Stevenson
From 1938 to 1968, crime novelist and detective Paul Temple and his Fleet Street journalist wife Steve solved case after case in one of BBC Radio’s most popular serials. Now the dapper duo return refreshed and reinvigorated to the airwaves, to investigate the activities of a shadowy and ruthless criminal mastermind in post-war London.
Enlisted by Sir Graham Forbes of Scotland Yard to help track down the mysterious Dr Belasco, Paul and Steve find clues in cigarette lighters and bodies in shrubberies, dance the night away in louche Latin American night clubs, meet sinister manservants and suspicious foreigners, and have their lives threatened at every turn. Just as well Steve remembered to bring along her revolver as well as her ration book.
This new production for BBC Radio 4 uses the original scripts, vintage sound effects and much of the incidental music from the missing 1947 production. As far as possible, it is a technical and stylistic replica of how that production might have sounded had its recording survived.

Paul Temple & Steve do it again
Would you listen to Paul Temple and Steve again? Why?
I have listened to all that are available over and over again. The style, simplicity and naivety brings the 1950s to life
What other book might you compare Paul Temple and Steve to, and why?
Margary Allingham and Campion. Atmosphere and context - who needs sex and gratuitous violence?
What does Crawford Logan and Gerda Stevenson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
The accents and nuances that bring out the flavour of the story
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes! If only
Any additional comments?
Who is going to write the new Frances Durbridge?

A brilliant “who done it”
Oh my goodness me, I used to listen to Paul Temple plays on the radio in the forties and was surprised to find that the series could be listened to on audible. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and will be choosing another one.

Good but a little disjointed
I'm a big Paul Temple fan and this audio book doesn't disappoint, although more complex than usual and a little disjointed in places.

Classic British detective with Paul Temple & Steve
Paul Temple & Steve are a classic British detective couple. Paul is an author by trade and Steve (Mrs. Temple) used to be a reporter. Both Paul and Steve end up, one way or another, being involved with the police helping to solve cases.
The music, albeit scratchy sounding, is of a period before digital technology and ads a certain ambience, even in later recordings and re-recordings. Some reviewers criticise the music quality without, in my opinion, taking into account when they were first made.

Jolly Good Stuff!
As always, a fast- moving, rip-roaring thriller. I love the period music; I love Steve and Paul’s “Darling”s in their perfect relationship. The baddies are really bad, the plot gets intricate, and Paul and Steve come out on top. Classic! Wish I had lived in their world. Wish I had known them.
