Product Description

Product Description
Radio's smoothest sleuth and his glamorous wife solve a case of international mystery 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 inhabit a sophisticated, well-dressed world of chilled cocktails and fast cars, where the women are chic and the men still wear cravats. And where Sir Graham Forbes of Scotland Yard always needs Paul's help with a tricky case. The case this time involves Dr Conrad's daughter Betty, who has disappeared from her finishing school in Bavaria. Paul is invited by the police to go over there to help trace the missing girl. Initially, though, even he is baffled, since the only clue to the mystery is an unusual cocktail stick found in her bedroom. Can Paul work it out? This CD edition also includes a bonus interview with Francis Durbridge.

5.0 out of 5 stars What radio drama was all about., 26 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Paul Temple and the Conrad Case: A BBC Radio 4 Full-cast Dramatisation (BBC Radio Collection) (Audio Cassette)
Absolutely brilliant. This is what radio drama was all about. Paul Temple is the assuredly smooth novelist/detective ably assisted by his wife Steve as they investigate the disappearance of Betty Conrad, a young girl who has mysteriously disappeared from a Bavarian finishing shool. Paul is asked to help, but should really work on his next novel. As he learns more about the case he becomes intrigued and the search for the truth begins. But who, if anyone, can be trusted? There's over three hours worth of 'edge of the seat' entertainment that goes by at a gallop. With dead-ends and double-crosses you'll be kept guessing until the final tension-filled episode. And just what is the significance of the cocktail stirrers?

5.0 out of 5 stars Careering and Cocktails., 17 Sep 2006
By John Austin "austinjr@bigpond.net.au" (Kangaroo Ground, Australia) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Paul Temple and the Conrad Case: A BBC Radio 4 Full-cast Dramatisation (BBC Radio Collection) (Audio Cassette)
This is the case of the missing girl enrolled at a "finishing school" in Bavaria. Thanks to Francis Durbridge's tight plotting and the magic of BBC radio, after the disappearance has been explained to Paul Temple and his wife Steve, within 5 minutes we are sharing cocktails with them on the terrace of a country hotel, then 5 minutes later we are with them when they stumble on a body in a deserted house, and after another 5 minutes we have flown with them to Munich and are approaching the prestigious "finishing school" in a hired car.

The pace is even hotter when they return to London six episodes later. Steve barely has time to utter, "Oh, Paul, I'm exhausted. I've never known such..." before the chase continues through hotels, nightclubs and cars with time bombs in them.

A meticulous production and highly-skilled actors ensure that this piece of 1950s escapism can still entertain and enthrall. It can bewilder, too. After repeated hearings I still cannot always understand who caused what to happen where. Is that the way of good mysteries?

5.0 out of 5 stars Sentimental Journey, 16 April 2009
By M. Morrison "Reluctant Crone" (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Paul Temple and the Conrad case is all I expected it to be, being a long time fan. These books echo a bygone age which few of us experienced. Super easy plane travel, good sleeper trains and oodles of taxis.
I think, sadly, that only the more mature among us will "get it" as the stories and scenarios are a little far fetched for a modern thinking person. Since when did Scotland Yard call in a crime writer to solve cases, and let said person work alongside senior police officers?
Please don't be put off! This is a romp through Germany, lots of interesting characters and an intriguing cocktail stick that turns up in unexpected places! Clear your mind of all modern thinking and enjoy it!

Listening to Paul Temple reminds us just how much broadcasting has changed in the last 50 years. The out dated accents and class structure are almost comic in this day and age... Read more
