I seriously do not understand why words are labelled evil. Words are just sounds - with spelling agreed, that speakers of a language agree has a particular meaning. Often the words just literally mean a bit of humsn anatomy or normal, healthy human/animal physical acts. Often, the most offended are not offended by the same meaning word if said in latin or Greek, German or French, or Finnish. Simply because they don't know the meaning - which proves, inherently, the words themselves, are harmless. It can be far nastier, crueller, more savage, to attack someone using acceptable words, but said to hurt or demean or bully somebody. I really suspect the high dudgeon of offended people is really brainwashing at an early period of their life. Nobody has ever explained why a slang term for something that many people do or have or produce, is so offensive. One claim is that the bible says that Christians should not swear - BUT that is written in the context that Christians should not swear - as in swear statements - there is no list ANYWHERE of wicked words. There is a minor commandment that you should not cook a lamb in it's mother's milk - but nobody ever brings that up. Plus many more rulings that most Christians are embarrassed about and try to say that they don't really count... "Yet they are listed in black and white..." "Yes but they can be ignored and not mentioned..." "Why?" "Because... they are nuts or in modern life, seen to be savagely evil..." "Okay..." (Let's all pretend this is a perfectly normal conversation...)

"Paul Temple" is one of the most famous radio plays in radio history, not only in UK. During the 1950's and 1960's (the so-called "Wirtschaftswunderjahre"["years of the (German) economic miracle"]) the German Broadcasting Station WDR (Westdeutscher Rundfunk Köln) belonging to the German ARD (national broadcast in Germany comparable to BBC) produced nearly a dozen Paul-Temple-affairs, translated into German by Marianne de Barde and Hubert von Bechtoldsheim (marvellous translators!!!). In the German version Paul Temple was spoken by René Deltgen and his wife Steve by Annemarie Cordes. At that evening time when "Paul Temple" was broadcast the streets were empty because everybody wanted to be at home in front of his or her radio. In the 1960's when it became usual to possess a TV set ARD produced some Durbridge detective stories like "Melinda", "Tim Fraser" oder "The bandana" ("Das Halstuch") - the streets were empty....(today totally unbelievable!). Loving Greetings to Great Britain from Germany!!!

I read of the empty streets of Germany, when these shows were on. There were shows on tv and radio that had the same effect in UK and Oz, where I am. If the shows were on commercial stations, when the adverts were on, there was a mad rush for loos and a huge amount of water flushed at the same time, in the cities. And some nights, almost nobody went to restaurants because tv was too entertaining!

Hello there.... I'm german but I didn't understand the german inspector's name - Bregschaft or so? In the 1950s there was an equivalent on german radio, the german inspector's name was "Ullersberg". So funny to hear it in English as the dialogue is exactly the same.

The Man from Munich is Herr Brechtschaft, which translates as 'brokenness'. I don't know if that is a proper German name but perhaps the author just wanted something that sounded right.

Hi 👋 Paul Temple’s wife’s name is actually Louise, but he affectionately referrers to her as "Steve" in reference to her journalistic pen name "Steve Trent" a fictional private detective who solves who-done-it crime mysteries by subtle & often humorously articulated deductions !
