2 out of 5 stars Dated   December 14, 2008
J. F. Chant (Somerset, ENGLAND)
Having seen this new discovery from the archives advertised I was eager to get it. Sorry, but I was extremely disappointed. The style in which the cast play their parts is extremely dated and the continuation music poorly chosen.

As an example of early Paul Temple it is important. However do not make this your first Paul Temple serial. To appreciate this one, you must be familiar with the "newer" (and here newer is certianly relative since newer is the 50's and 60's) serials.


1 out of 5 stars Disappointing by comparison   November 20, 2006

5 out of 7 found this review helpful

Having bought all the BBC cassette Paul Temples as they have come out in the last 6-7 years, this is the latest and only one to disappoint. The quality of sound is poor in places and the actor playing Temple sounds like an inebriated Mr Bean much of the time - his propensity to laugh at inappropraite moments in the dialogue leaves one wondering what is going on elsewhere in the studio. The melodramatic query enunciated at the end of each episode reinforces the bizarre and rather tedious tempo of the plot.


1 out of 5 stars Amazingly creaky   March 28, 2006
5 out of 12 found this review helpful

But must be heard if you want to know how radio plays used to sound. The characters go down lonely country lanes and visit a lot of houses in the middle of vast grounds - and always in the middle of the night. Don't they know that people who live in houses like that always keep a pet python at large? Paul Temple is the ace detective. He has a strange quirk - he's always laughing at things that aren't funny at all. Perhaps the writer forgot to put in any jokes.

This recording is too old and fans of Peter Cooke's Paul won't like this case the sound is badly damaged you are warned and told it's due to it's age but i know that things like that can be resotred I think the BBC should seek out someone who can restore it then re-relese the restlored version but as it is save your money.
