🕵️ Send for Paul Temple — BBC Radio Drama | Jewels Vanish, Press Panics, Temple Investigates A mysterious criminal. A string of jewel robberies. A murder that has Scotland Yard completely stumped — and a case only one man can crack. A shadowy figure known only as "The Knave" is behind a wave of jewel thefts and a baffling murder. Desperate for answers, Scotland Yard turns to crime novelist and amateur sleuth Paul Temple. As Temple digs into the case, he crosses paths with journalist Steve Trent — who becomes a key recurring presence — and together they're pulled deeper into a dangerous web of deception, threats, and intrigue. Along the way, Temple uncovers a wider criminal network and steadily narrows down the suspects behind The Knave, all while sharp dialogue, suspenseful twists, and the growing chemistry between Paul and Steve keep the tension — and the charm — running high. Send for Paul Temple originally aired in 8 parts in 1938, making it the very first entry in the beloved Paul Temple series by Francis Durbridge. The original recordings are now lost, but the serial was faithfully remade in 2006 by BBC Radio 4, starring Crawford Logan as Paul Temple and Gerda Stevenson as Steve — bringing the origin story of one of radio's most iconic detective duos to a whole new generation. 🎙️ Preserving classic radio drama, one story at a time — Old Time Radio, Golden Age radio, BBC Radio dramas: murder, mystery, comedy, sci-fi & westerns. #BBCRadio4 #PaulTemple #FrancisDurbridge #SendForPaulTemple #RadioDrama #OldTimeRadio #ClassicRadioDrama #CrawfordLogan #RadioTheatre
