About this listen

Anthony Head reads eight abridged novels by Francis Durbridge.

Send for Paul Temple, based on the first ever Paul Temple radio serial, centres around the mystery of The Green Finger.

In Paul Temple and the Front Page Men, a series of thefts is linked to high profile kidnapping cases - and then murder.

News of Paul Temple links a vivacious actress, a mysterious letter and an enigmatic doctor in Paul's latest case.

In Paul Temple and the Tyler Mystery, the main suspect in a murder case is someone Paul put away for fraud four years earlier...

In Paul Temple East of Algiers, the Temples travel to Tunis in order to deliver a package - but a series of murders ensues.

In Paul Temple and the Kelby Affair, a sensational diary appears to be at the centre of Alfred Kelby's murder.

In Paul Temple and the Harkdale Robbery, a suspect involved in a robbery is found dead - in the garage of Paul's own country cottage.

Paul Temple and the Curzon Case is a gripping story of kidnap, intrigue and sudden death, and Paul must work to find out if all the events are connected.

Anthony Head, famed for his TV roles in Buffy and Little Britain, reads these stories inspired by one of the most successful BBC radio serials of the Twentieth Century.

Caution: these stories contain language that may cause offense, and dated attitudes that reflect the age in which they are set.

This is a fantastic bumper collection of Paul Temple novels, brilliantly read by Anthony Head, who has just the right voice for the period setting of the Paul Temple world.

I have listened to all the BBC radio dramas that are published, many times, and so to have more stories is a real find.

Highly recommended.

Paul Temple and Anthony Head a great combination
