Paul Temple And The Tyler Mystery

Crime novelist and detective Paul Temple and his glamorous wife Steve made their first appearance on BBC Radio in 1938. They inhabited a sophisticated world of chilled cocktails and fast cars, where the women were chic and the men wore cravats - a world where Sir Graham Forties, of Scotland Yard, usually needed Paul Temple's help with his latest tricky case.

Right Ho, Jeeves

Mayhem has broken out at Brinkley Court... Gussie Fink-Nottle has fallen in love with Madeline Bassett. Angela has argued with young Tuppy and the air is full of mangled fragments of engagement. Aunt Dahlia has lost a fortune at the gaming tables in Cannes and dare not tell Uncle Tom. And all the while the spectre of the Market Snodsbury Grammar School prize-giving hangs over the assembled company.

Just as uproariously funny - and terrifically popular-today as when it first began on BBC Radio 4 in 1968, Just a Minute challenges contestants to speak for one minute on a given subject without repetition, hesitation or deviation. Its mix of irreverent fun and ferocious competition has always attracted stellar names from the world of comedy and theatre, all of whom pit their wits - and their wit.
