Almost as good as original

Charlie and Steve were more prominent than in old episodes. However style and excellence matched the original

Very entertaining

It you like British mysteries, you will like the Paul Temple series. Great acting, and lots of suspects. I tend to listen over and over again.

Great listen

This reminds me of the old fashion radio shows I use to listen to as a child.

Great performances, good mysteries, very enjoyable

I very much enjoyed all of these Paul Temple radio show performances and wish there were more! The performances are fantastic and lots of fun to listen to! The only negative is all the glorification of alcohol and tobacco, which I know was the norm back then, but when someone has taken a tumble or whatever, brandy is really not the answer, seriously, ha. Otherwise, very enjoyable stories and performances.

Vintage Sexism

I wanted to enjoy this collection. I really did, The mysteries themselves were enjoining and interesting, but I couldn't get over the amazingly rampant sexisim in every story, especially from the lead character. His wife is constantly belittled, dismissed, and generally treated as a annoying dog rather than a human being. It's accurate for the time period, which only makes it more sad since these were made in the 2000s.

If you love a good mystery, but also feminism, this isn't for you either.
