3. In Which Sir Gilbert Explains

Why is Steve so keen to meet a fashionable Mayfair hairdresser? Reboot of the 1946 mystery. Stars Gerda Stevenson.

Steve has ulterior motives when she makes an appointment with Madame de Briac, one of Mayfair's most fashionable hairdressers.

In this 2011 recreation of the 1946 vintage crime serial, Paul and Steve brave great danger to reveal the identity of the mysterious West End drug dealer known only as 'Valentine'...

Crawford Logan stars as Paul Temple and 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 大象传媒 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 大象传媒 began recreating them using original scripts and incidental music, and recorded with vintage microphones and sound effects.
