On the trail of the mysterious and murderous Mr Gregory, Steve Temple goes in search of a trumpeter.

Another intriguing case for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ radio's smoothest sleuth and his glamorous wife.

Crawford Logan and Gerda Stevenson stars in Francis Durbridge's rebooted 1946 mystery thriller.

The original series wasn't saved in the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ archive and scripts for episodes 1, 2 and 6 were lost.

Luckily our colleague in Norwegian radio discovered a complete set of scripts in Oslo!

So using the original incidental music, sound effects and vintage microphones - all ten parts of Paul Temple and the Gregory Affair have been recreated.

Paul Temple …. Crawford Logan
Steve …. Gerda Stevenson
Sir Graham Forbes …. Gareth Thomas
Inspector Vosper …. Michael MacKenzie
Sir Donald …. Simon Donaldson
Edward Day …. Nick Underwood
Miss Marcia …. Eliza Langland
Zola …. Greg Powrie
Peter Davos …. Richard Greenwood
Kay Wiseman …. Meg Fraser

Producer: Patrick Rayner

Original series first broadcast on the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Light Programme in December 1946.

Recreated and first broadcast on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4 in August 2013.
