It is an interesting setting for a story, I certainly agree.Martin Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16082485795280777670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-6390090207667113692010-04-15T23:59:45.123+01:002010-04-15T23:59:45.123+01:00Hi Fiona - fun is the right word!

(which I as a Swedish teenager could follow.) Temple was portrayed by Peter Cook. Who I assumed was the same person as the famous comedian? (well to ME he was Paul Temple. So there.)<br />Now I feel inspired by Stieg Larsson. (who to my astonishment let Lisbeth Salander be my neighbourgh!) (in Stockholm.) I´ve been thinking of writing a novel about Jack the Ripper. (haha how original.) But I know who he was! (I think.) (a peripheral nobody that neither the police OR anyone else payed much attention to.)<br />But who was he?? (haha I won´t let you pinch my idea.) (boasting: Judi Dench said she was very impressed with my English. Should I venture my crime début in your delightful and civilized lingo?)<br />Greetings from 60 y.o. musician and music-writer<br />P.S. Another great idea for a crime story: a murder takes place in an old peoples home. The little old lady in a wheel-chair who everyone thinks is senile isn´t senile at all. She wheels around the place nights and discovers things! (which leads to the discovery of the murderer.) (might have been my mother. Actually.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-91272230994856776782010-04-15T16:44:52.599+01:002010-04-15T16:44:52.599+01:00Oooh, that sounds fun!

I vaguely remember Paul Temple on the radio when I was very young (my mother and elder sister were keen fans) and I have a double cassette of one of the original recordings. I love Anthony Head (though I always think of him with a jar of coffee ;))so might have to track this down.<br /><br />And I'm old enough not to worry about illogical plots...Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136142030481900981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-54264368235467035182010-04-15T16:35:34.243+01:002010-04-15T16:35:34.243+01:00I don't really listen to audio books/plays but...I don't really listen to audio books/plays but I'm tempted to listen to Paul Temple.
