"The oldest surviving Paul Temple serial -- steam radio at its finest! For some reason the episodes are rather shorter than usual, but it's prime Durbridge in the writing, though delivered with rather fruitier performances than the Coke/Westbury run. Fans of Old Time Radio should enjoy this." — Steven (4 out of 5 stars)

" As always awful, but also awfully funny. An early one so the music, sound-effects and performances were even more dreadful than usual, but this made it all the better fun. "
