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
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!

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.

I have uploaded several episodes of the 'The Mind of J G Reeder' by Edgar Wallace. To quote a radio review:
"Edgar Wallace's 1920s short stories about a police officer with "the mind of a criminal" - a hint that he has, at some point, been on the wrong side of the law himself - are retold crisply in these entertaining readings. There is much fun to be had spotting the clues as they are liberally littered early on, though it's a long way from spotting to fathoming the meaning."
Sadly, I do not know the name of the narrator. Can anyone help? I have one more 'The Treasure Hunt' but that is short of a minute of two. If anyone is interested, I can upload that story.
I am still very new to Times Past, and hope that I am doing ok.

I have added the following, though after having seen Riklaa's list, I had better print a hard copy and see just what more that I can add, that isn't already available!
A Case to be answered by Jill Hyem - A play about a man with a past. A young couple and the relationship between them......it changes when the woman bumps into a down-and- out. With Clive Francis, Mary Wimbush and Sue Wallace; dir. Kay Patrick.
A Case of Spirits: There was a great vogue for table-turning and getting in touch with the dead in Victorian times and this lent itself to fraud, at the very least. It seemed inevitable that Cribb and Thackeray should take part in a séance at some stage. They come to it indirectly, following an art theft. The owner, Dr Probert, has also been dabbling in the occult. When murder is done, the two detectives find themselves rubbing shoulder with some eccentric suspects, and a rather convincing medium.
A Coat of Varnish by C P Snow: Humphrey Leigh, retired resident of Belgravia, pays a social visit to an old friend, Lady Ashbrook. She is waiting for her test results, fearing cancer. When Lady Ashbrook gets the all clear she has ten days to enjoy her new lease on life. And then she is found murdered.
Poor Bessie by Jack Gratus - BBC Play based upon Brides in the Bath case.
