Three complete radio dramas featuring writer-cum-amateur detective Paul Temple, plus bonus archive material.

Poor sound quality
Unfortunately the sound quality ruins this audio book. They do go into the why's and how's after the end of the first play, however it would have been much better to have this at the start!
It's a shame because these old radio plays are a lot of fun and a great glimpse into the past!
