A pair of spectacles spark drama for the Egypt-bound sleuth and his wife.

A pair of spectacle sparks drama for the Egypt-bound sleuth and his wife. Francis Durbridge's thriller stars Crawford Logan.

A perfectly ordinary pair of spectacles spells trouble for Paul and Steve as they set off on a trip to Egypt.

In this recreation of the 1947 vintage crime serial, Crawford Logan stars as Paul Temple with Gerda Stevenson as Steve.

Between 1938 and 1968, Francis Durbridge's incomparably suave amateur detective Paul Temple and glamorous wife Steve solved case after baffling case in one of BBC radio's most popular series. They inhabited a sophisticated, well-heeled world of cocktails and fast cars.

Sadly, only half of their adventures survive in the archives. But in 2006, the BBC began lovingly recreating them using original scripts and incidental music, and recorded with vintage microphones and sound effects.
