Summary
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.
First broadcast on October 30th, 1942, this is the oldest full length drama to remain in the BBC archives. Starring Carl Bernard and Bernadette Hodgson as Paul Temple and his wife Steve, this detective duo help Scotland Yard to track down master criminal The Marquis, in eight thrilling episodes.

Paul Temple Intervenes.
Scratchy but added to the authenticity of the time. Enough of a story but not as good a background as later ones. Nonetheless evocative and listenable

Awesome Temple & Stevie
This one is an earlier episode with a different actor playing Paul Temple.
Older style & not as comical as all the rest which I have in my collection.
This Paul is far too normal & serious. Glad they got rid of him & chose
Peter Coke who 'is' the real Paul Temple. This is still ok as a story to
while away in the back ground when you are doing else. I hope the BBC or some comes along with a decent actors & re record this.

Disappointed
Love the Paul Temple stories.but due to the poor sound quality, either too loud or too quiet, meant I couldn't follow the plot.

Usual excellent performances
There is something comforting and at the same time exciting when you hear the opening theme tune to another Paul Temple thriller. Such a pity there were not more. For those of you who are fans this is another opportunity to enjoy an old favourite, for those of you who have not listened to Paul Temple before, there is a real treat in store for you. Both lead characters are excellent and Peter Coke is without doubt the REAL Paul Temple. As for the story line its just what is to be expected well put together and great fun. ENJOY.

Acceptable, by Timothy!
I really enjoy Paul Temple. Although the plots are silly and quite repetitive, there is a marvellous period atmosphere to the Peter Coke/Marjorie Westbury adventures. 'Intervenes' has different actors and is interesting as a curiosity, but the sound quality is a bit variable and the production values are generally a little crude. Do not start with it - choose the Geneva Mystery, the Spencer Affair or the Conrad Case. When you have exhausted the rest, this one will do.

Too loud & too weird...
Normally I'm a big fan of the Paul Temple dramatisations, both ancient and modern, but this one left me unnerved - and not for the right reasons! There's way too much loud music between scenes and every episode ends with "Who is..... The Marquis?" as if he's a vampire rather than a criminal. Carl Bernard as our hero has an extremely disconcerting, melodramatic laugh which, if I were Steve, would have me running sharply in the opposite direction. All in all, I guess it's an interesting historical listen to discover what wartime audiences were treated to, but I won't be listening to it again.
