Now that my memory is like that of a proverbial goldfish, I can listen to each Paul Temple story every two or three weeks and hardly remember the plot.... so each time is like a new adventure and I love them all!
Really enjoy listening to all off these episodes . I get to bed and settle down to enjoy,a wonderful story which is so relaxing . It’s so well acted that I can imagine each and every scene,and the action within . Thank you for uploading much appreciated .
I have fallen in love with the Paul temple series... It's definitely been a treat while I'm on quarantine!!! Thanks a million ☺️😁☺️ All the way from: Baltimore Maryland USA
@ Ebony Great to have you with us ! Difficult to imagine anything more different than 1950s Britain and modern Baltimore. ? Anything that helps us escape from modern life has got to be a good thing.
So glad I found this. I'm 70 years old and remember sitting around the radio in the evenings with my family listening to these stores when I was a child. I still recall their secret warning message "darling darling" they used when one of them was in trouble.
What a delightful Monday I had 🎧 listening to each chapter as I went about my day. Now I’m a on chapter 6, tucked into bed with my hot tea & little dog. Sweet dreams all📻
Relaxing after a busy day at school. Up to episode 8. This week we have education outside the classroom. We took 60 children (11-12years olds) on a 2 hour hike on hilly bush track by a gorgeous beach, next outdoor cooking and finished off with a swim. So now at home I put on Paul Temple to rest and recuperate. I started on the drive home listening.Technically we are coming into Autumn but the weather is still lovely and hot. I live in Snells Beach 🏖 North Auckland New Zealand🇳🇿

Love listening to these stories I find them very relaxing. As a teacher my day is full on and this my ‘Me’ time. Also listening to them bring back memories of my childhood. I remember listening to these stories with my parents(they have both passed away) on Sunday night from 7:30pm we would listen to programmes on the BBC. We also loved watching the TV series in the 70’s. Also great eye relaxation as we live in a visual age.
An elderly woman listener was such a fan of "Steve" that she left her entire fortune to Ms Westbury when she died, making it possible for Westbury to pick & choose her roles thereafter. She was described as " a small, bun shaped, grey haired woman, blessed with a voice that totally belied her age, there was no trace of the rather frumpy local woman in her vampish alter-ego" !
Appreciate these posts! Walk the dog round the wood and can time each twist in the tale by the corners of the paths these stories are so formulaic - but it's a good thing too lol. Great atmosphere to them. Interesting over and above the actual stories themselves!!
"Paul Temple" is one of the most famous radio plays in radio history, not only in UK. During the 1950's and 1960's (the so-called "Wirtschaftswunderjahre"["years of the (German) economic miracle"]) the German Broadcasting Station WDR (Westdeutscher Rundfunk Köln) belonging to the German ARD (national broadcast in Germany comparable to BBC) produced nearly a dozen Paul-Temple-affairs, translated into German by Marianne de Barde and Hubert von Bechtoldsheim (marvellous translators!!!). In the German version Paul Temple was spoken by René Deltgen and his wife Steve by Annemarie Cordes. At that evening time when "Paul Temple" was broadcast the streets were empty because everybody wanted to be at home in front of his or her radio. In the 1960's when it became usual to possess a TV set ARD produced some Durbridge detective stories like "Melinda", "Tim Fraser" oder "The bandana" ("Das Halstuch") - the streets were empty....(today totally unbelievable!). Loving Greetings to Great Britain from Germany!!!
A question often asked is "why does Paul Temple call his wife Steve" ? Her real name is in fact Louise, but is affectionately called Steve by Paul in reference to her journalistic pen name "Steve Trent" a private detective who solves who-done-it crime mysteries through subtle & often humorously articulated deductions ❗️🧐

Thank you so dearly for this. Will you be doing any other Temple books? Or 📝 🎩📔 Lord Peter? I am looking for Detective Alleyn radio show, too. I am unable to read any longer and love these tremendously. ❤ Thank you again. M. Illinois. 🇺🇸 USA
I, too, have reached a stage where I can no longer read. Have you looked into the library for the blind in your state? I live in Michigan and subscribe to the NLS. I choose the titles and receive them on cassette. The player and all postage are paid for by the library. I'm a retired librarian and before I was in that position I read two to three books a week. Talking books allow me to do chores around the house and the player uses a battery when there is no power so you can take your book in the car as well.
LOL - 1) she didn't need to work 2) she received ruby and diamond bracelets etc. 3) she enjoyed exotic holidays 4) overall she had a very comfortable, sophisticated lifestyle - she paid the price of often being patronised and/or being treated like a moron (admittedly sometimes she behaved like one). In the pre-women's lib era such marriages were considered normal - what annoys me is that in the 21st century women are still choosing such a lifestyle and then bitch about they way they are treated.
One of the mostly ridiculous ways I hav ever heard of, for dealing drugs 🤣🤣🤣 when an addict wants drugs, they can't/won't able to wait & the fath about returning said cost, etc & for a coat to be delivered -now days they nxt day delivery but back then? More like a 1-2wk wait. Unless the buttons were the size of dinner plates, the amount, wudnt b worth it lol
These aren’t just memorable radio dramas they’re comfort blankets too

Same here 🤣😂 glad to know I’m not alone.👵🏻
I’m now 74 and I’m having a hard time remembering what I did yesterday let alone a plot Ha! Ha! Ha!
Many thanks , I listen to these when working as a self employed decorator in Herefordshire .
Need a decorator but not in your neck of the woods 😢😂
Outstanding! Some of the best radio drama available!
So happy to find this place and the wonderful stories to help me sleep. Thank you.

It may be because he'd prefer a fella for a partner

Did he really say Marjorie Westway?? Just asking for a friend
⁰⁰
Mr. Temple, why does your wife have a mans name? Maybe gender fluid, at weekends she likes to be called Samantha.
Maybe it could be short for Stephanie may be not what about Fleetwood mac stevie nicks Alice Cooper
Are you sure it's not meant to to be Stephanie instead of Steve. Steph
Her real name was Louise. Steve Trent was her reporter's name.
I think he wanted a male partner
