Old time radio plays are the best

Original Paul Temple radio plays are the best of dramatic narration. Perfect acting, good storyline, believable characters - it's set in the 50th were murder is still shocking. I am absolutely addicted to this old-fashioned way of entertainment. Wish there were more of them...

More exciting adventures with Paul and Steve

Another round of exciting adventures with Paul and Steve. Being a child in the 60's I do remember that it was still pretty much a 'man's world' but the way Paul still treats Steve as if she's an imbecile is really quite annoying. It's rather refreshing when she gets her own back occasionally. That being said, if you can look past that, these radio plays are really rather enjoyable.

By Timothy!

By Timothy, one was thoroughly hooked on this charming series. Was absolutely angry that it came to an end, but loved the bonus interview with Peter Coke ☺️

Another great collection!

I loved this collection too - more of the same formula but just as much fun and equally great acting and scene setting.

fascinating glimpse into the past

This series really takes you back in time to a completely different way of life, albeit the domain of the priveleged few. I enjoyed having to use my imagination regarding the actors, the scenes, special effects etc. There were also comedic moments, some unintentional, which added to the enjoyment. I shall certainly look at earlier volumes, I think I'm hooked!
