A gripping collection of 15 BBC Radio full-cast dramas written by Bert Coules, inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's original stories. In the 56 short stories and four novels Arthur Conan Doyle wrote about his great detective, how many times did Dr John Watson tantalise us with references to cases which were never written about in full? These original adventures flesh out those unrecorded cases to wonderful effect. Clive Merrison plays the great sleuth himself, with Andrew Sachs in the role of Doctor Watson.

But - tiny bone of contention: You BBC bozos had three jobs - MAX!
1. DIGITIZE ORIGINAL RECORDING
2. DIVIDE INTO SMALLER SEGMENTS
3. oh and one more... NAME THESE SEGMENTS!!!!!
Paying nearly 25$ for something I cannot browse is unreasonable and should be reflected in the overall grade. LOUDLY.
SOLUTION: Until then, fellow readers, it is best to avoid browsing. You can add bookmarks and name them as you go through the book and return to your favourites this way.
But do let the production pranksters know of the inconvenience by means of a LOW (2 stars?) rating. I know it seems extreme but think about the money you spent and they didn't. This content had already been produced ages ago.
25$? Decent dinner out. 6 overpriced cappuccinos at least. Lots to do with 25$.....
YOU HAD ONE JOB, TERRY!
