Paul Temple and the Van Dyke Affair, episode 6

I'm working on a website for the Paul Temple radio programs starring Peter Coke (pronounced Cook) and Marjorie Westbury. (There used to be one, but it was on the Geocities free side, and when they closed that a couple of years, the website disappeared.

Rather than put cast lists on notebook paper where I will probably lose them, I'll put them in this blog.

Never heard of Paul Temple? Check him out on Wikipedia. Truth to tell, I don't really care for the mysteries - they are all formulaic, but I like the two leads and it is amusing to listen to all the incredibly convoluted twists and turns in the plots.
