A 'whodunit' or 'whodunnit' (for 'Who done it?' and sometimes referred to as a Golden Age Mystery novel) is a complex, plot-driven variety of the detective story in which the puzzle is paramount.

  • RD Wingfield has been a favourite of mine for some time, so was thrilled to get some more of his work.

  • Many thanks for sharing this great news. Inspired by the snippet of the conversation between Charles Norton and Chris Valent (sp?) I found this link on youtube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=jDVVc8y...  Send for Paul Temple - Trailer - BBC Audio

  • I caught this snippet from the BBC Radio 4 - PM programme that a missing series of Paul Temple, starring Bernard Braden & Peggy Hassard has been discovered.

    I am keeping my fingers crossed we will hear it sometime soon.

  • Thank you

  • I will most certainly do that.  --------------------------------------  R

  • Before Terrabyte hard drives and Broadband I stored a number of programmes at 64kbps. Some recordings I found were encoded at 48kbps.

     Rather than deprive people of the chance to hear them I intend posting some, and would ask that if anyone has a better quality recording; to please post a link and I will amend the posting details and give credit to the poster.

  • Thank you!

  • You use the link as is and just tell people above it what folder it is in on the Uploads.  right click on the link I sent. click "Copy link location"  then you go to your post left click where you want the link on your post, then look in the header of the post and on the upper left is the link control.  you left click on that and it will put the link where you clicked your cursor in the first step.  I did one for you below your post so you can see how it comes out.  You don't have to add anything to the link  you just use it.  --------------------------  R

    Not quite there yet, but I am improving. I have uploaded some Edgar Lustgarten files into the 'Whodunit' folder, but I am not sure about adding to link. Do I add to the discussion and then upload? If do I am not sure how the link ios attached to my post, but I am sure that I can work it out.

    I see that instead of adding 'A Case to be answered', 'A coat of varnish', a 'Case of Spirits' and J G Reeder to the 'Add a Discussion', so that others could see those additions, I included it under comments. Shall I do this now, albeit that they do not show the link?

    One last matter.  When Robert is sorting out those uploads that I failed to include in the 'Whodunit' folder, could you ask him to delete the two Lizzie Borden files, as I included them again [complete versions] in the 'Whodunit' folder.

  • I neglected to add that the quality of the JG Reeder does vary, as with most of my recordings.
