In a thrilling case that takes Paul and Steve to exotic Egypt, Paul Temple is called in to investigate a mysterious murder. The twisting trail takes them from London to the back streets and nightclubs of Cairo... From 1938 to 1969 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. They inhabited a sophisticated, well-dressed world of chilled cocktails and fast cars, where the women were chic and the men wore cravats - and where Sir Graham Forbes of Scotland Yard always needed Paul's help with a tricky case. Now Paul Temple is being brought into the 21st century in this eight-part recording of a lost archive Paul Temple mystery, starring Crawford Logan and Gerda Stevenson. 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.

      In a new production emulating one of BBC Radio's most popular serials, husband-and-wife detective duo Paul and Steve Temple travel from London to exotic Cairo in the 1940s to investigate a murder. The full-cast dramatization unfolds with a missing pair of spectacles and blossoms into a chase amid exotic locales. Narrators Crawford Logan and Gerda Stevenson portray the adventurous sleuths, joined by a supporting cast of victims and suspects. Sound effects provide atmosphere, but there's a problem with pace. The flow of the action is too often interrupted--for venue changes, musical interludes, distracting credits at the end of each episode, and the repetition of previous text as each new episode launches. Still, this is a thrilling enigma for those willing to wait for it. A.W. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
