Stylish, cool, incisive - protective of his loving wife “Steve” - Paul Temple was an exemplary crime writer turned crime solver as played by Francis Matthews in the acclaimed and much loved TV series.

Filmed at glamorous locations throughout Europe,The Paul Temple Collection represents the surviving colour episodes of this rich series, a time capsule of 1970s fashion in clothes, cars, décor – and crime. The idle rich in Malta, who play a dangerous game with Steve as the bait; a German businessman who finds himself caught up in a deadly carnival of radical rebellion; a murder mystery resolved live on TV; a chance meeting in a motel where death and deception have checked in; a murdered maiden in a crypt that uncovers local witchery.

These – and more – are the tales that make up an unmissable collection of mysteries that must be solved; and there’s only one crime writer who can do it.
