Aside from the 1942 serial, there were two other incidences of Temple during the War. In each case, single 60 minute plays adapted from the earlier serials - Send for Paul Temple and News of Paul Temple. They were produced by Martyn C. Webster. Carl Bernard played Paul in the first in October 1941, which may have lead to his casting in the later serial. Richard Williams, who had a long association with series, including playing the part of Sir Graham Forbes in the late 50s, made a single outing as Paul in July 1944 in News of Paul Temple.

    It appears that these outings were drawn simply from members of the BBC Radio Drama Repertory company, not uncommon during the War. Also, it should be pointed out that these are the printed listings from the Radio Times, and noted that listings were more subject to change and less reliable during the War.

    A number of the actors returned many times to the series, notable examples include Grizelda Hervey who featured in both the Madison's, both Vandyke's & the first Gilbert to name a few; with Arthur Ridley playing Inspector Vosper; & Duncan McIntyre as Inspector Kingston in both versions of Gilbert.
