Temple but not as we know it - Rated 
If you've never heard a Paul Temple before this you will probably find this quite satisfying, Unfortunately I have and this wasn't. Paul Temple was one of BBC's most successful series running from the late 40's to the 60's, the adventures of the debonair socialite captivated the Uk, and strangely Germany, In this re production of an old script were treated to a very different Paul Temple, no longer suave he's played as a rather abrupt snippy sarcastic Temple, and the iconic catch phrase of " By Timothy" seems to appear only once. Paul and his wife Steve seem to have no chemistry either, Temples sarcastic and sometime downright rude to her, thankfully she seems none too aware of Pauls character traits though.
The whole story seems to be absolutely jam packed with Un Temple like moments, there even a scene were Temple uses strong arm tactics to squeeze information out of a waiter, any Temple fans would know Temple is far too sophisticated to even consider such an act of barbarism against an unarmed man.
I'm not quite sure if this is a reproduction of a previous lost Radio play or a script that didn't make it to production, the later is more believable, believable for a reason too. The story is very unlike a Temple mystery, usually in a case Temple doggedly chases clues, rarely telling Steve the full story, In this mystery thing just seem to happen to Paul, buffeted by circumstance he seems to flounder from one location to the other with things and clue's just Happening. It's a pity, Maybe it's not a case of they don't make them like they used too, it's more like there incapable of making them like they used too.
Who says they don't make them like they used to? - Rated 
A remarkable remake of a classic "lost " Paul Temple episode without modern influences produces as good a production as any of the others. Hopefully BBC Radio 4 and BBC 7 can fund more of these "lost" episodes.
Highly recommended!!! - Rated
Great job!!! Crawford Logan makes an excellent Paul Temple. He's a tad less genteel than the Peter Coke version,so it's a tad more believable when he slugs a guy. Gerda Stevenson is excellent as well, but for me, there's only ever going to be one Steve...Marjorie Westbury. Short of channeling the talents of Miss Westbury, this is an excellent production which I highly recommend. It really captures all the suspense of the original broadcasts. Acccording to the liner notes, there are eight more productions "lost to the archives". I can only hope the BBC produces these scripts as well.
Paul on the nile - Rated 
This Paul Temple story has Paul and steve travelling to Cario so Paul can do reaseach for his lastet story but as always he become involed in a mystery which even he can't unravel to start with even though this is not acted by Peter Cooke and his co stars it is an enjoyable Paul Temeple Mystery
What a wonderful surprise - Rated
Paul Temple and the Sullivan Mystery was broadcast is December 1947 with Kim Peacock as Temple and was never reprised by Peter Coke.
This new production uses the original scripts and as far as possible the sound effects techniques and music used in the original production.
The result is a resounding success, with Crawford Logan and Gerda Stevenson fitting effortlessly into the characterisations of Coke and Westbury but never becoming mimics. The production adopts the acting styles of the original, and whether it was intentional or not the supporting actors frequently sound very similar to their counterparts in the original productions.
Many of the Coke series were remakes of productions starring Kim Peacock, and listening to this using the original 1947 version one wonders whether the scripts were updated for the Coke remakes.
The temples flight to Cairo is nostalgia heaven as they flew in a seaplane from the BOAC base at Poole in Dorset, requiring an overnight stop completing the flight in two days, routine in 1947 but it now vividly takes us back to a earlier age.
After listening to this triumph one can only hope there are more to follow, there are seven serials for which no original recording exist, so please BBC don't keep us waiting too long.
