Paul Temple and the Vandyke Affair is a 1959 BBC radio thriller starring Peter Coke and Marjorie Westbury, featuring a missing child, a mysterious sitter, and a trail of clues through London's underworld.

In this gripping installment of Francis Durbridge’s long-running detective series, suave novelist-sleuth Paul Temple and his wife Steve are drawn into the chilling mystery of a missing baby and a cryptic figure known only as the "Sitter-In." As they investigate the disappearance of Mary Desmond’s child, they encounter a web of deceit involving a murdered informant, coded messages, and a shadowy man with a Vandyke beard. The couple’s journey takes them from elegant drawing rooms to seedy backstreets, unraveling a plot that tests their intuition and resolve.

The drama’s tension escalates with each episode, as Temple and Steve decode clues left by the enigmatic Queenie and confront suspects ranging from nightclub singers to foreign agents. With its signature blend of glamour, suspense, and clipped British wit, Paul Temple and the Vandyke Affair exemplifies the golden age of BBC radio drama. Originally broadcast on the BBC Light Programme in January 1959, it remains a masterclass in serialized storytelling.
