1. In Which Paul Temple Hears About Valentine

Is there a link between ten apparent drug addict suicides, all in one week? Reboot of the 1946 mystery. Stars Crawford Logan.

Ten apparent suicides in one single week - and all of them drug addicts.

Scotland Yard desperately turns to Paul Temple for help.

This is a recreation of the 麻豆社 vintage crime serial first heard in 1946.

Crawford Logan and Gerda Stevenson star as Francis Durbridge's incomparably suave amateur detective Paul Temple and his glamorous wife Steve

Between 1938 and 1968, they solved case after baffling case in one of 麻豆社 radio's most popular series.

They inhabit a sophisticated, well-heeled world of cocktails and fast cars.

Sadly, only half of their original adventures survive in the archives. But in 2006, the 麻豆社 began recreating them using original scripts and incidental music. Recordings were made using vintage microphones and sound effects.
