Francis Durbridge (1912-98) was the twentieth century's foremost writer of thrillers for radio and television. His radio serials are still broadcast today, and his novels and stage plays remain popular worldwide. Best known as the creator of the radio detective Paul Temple and television serials that achieved record viewing figures, he wrote very much more in a career of some sixty years.

A survey of Durbridge's career is followed by details of his works for radio, television, the theatre and the cinema, together with full information about his novels and other publications. There is also a complete listing of his ninety-three Paul Temple comic strips that appeared for over twenty years in the London Evening News.

This new edition of Francis Durbridge: The Complete Guide, which was published in 2018, has been considerably expanded and updated as the result of new discoveries about Durbridge's works. His original typescripts and many other papers, from his own archives and those of the BBC, have now revealed much previously unrecorded material, providing new facts as well as the solutions to several questions raised in the Guide's first edition.
