There's an omnibus autobiography of Roald Dahl on BBC Sounds Radio 4 Extra at the moment.

@HannahHowe I have enjoyed listening to the Paul Temple radio serials on BBC Radio 4 Extra, and for me, Steve will always be associated with the voice of Marjorie Westbury. That elegant, sophisticated voice allowed the listener to conjure up one's own image of Steve, especially since Westbury did not generally appear in film or on television.
