Publisher's summary

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s detective genius, Sherlock Holmes, came to NBC radio in 1930 starring Richard Gordon. By 1939, Basil Rathbone was heard as Holmes with Nigel Bruce as Doctor Watson. The duo was simultaneously starring in a popular series of Sherlock Holmes features for Fox, and later for Universal. By the end of the feature run in the mid-1940s, Rathbone was eager to separate himself from the radio show to avoid being typecast, and even though the show’s sponsor (Petri Wines) offered him generous pay to continue, he decided to move on. Tom Conway took over with Nigel Bruce continuing as Watson (in this paring Nigel Bruce received top billing). Tom Conway and Nigel Bruce were replaced in 1947 by John Stanley and Alfred Shirley. Others to portray Holmes and Watson over the radio run were George Shelton and Ian Martin and Ben Wright and Eric Snowden. In 1955, NBC signed heavyweights Sir John Gielgud and Sir Ralph Richardson to star as Holmes and Watson, but with radio fast giving way to television, it only lasted one season.

Delightful

I really enjoyed this collection of stories. The old radio shows are such treasures. I hope we can manage to save these for posterity’s sake.

Now I want some Petri Wine!

I LOVE these old radio shows! I can close my eyes and be transported by to another era where the family gathered around the radio to listen these exciting stories. Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce are great! I love the old movies and the radio shows just add to their movies. It is so nostalgic to hear the ads for Petri wine during the breaks. It’s a piece of history and I am so glad it has been preserved here.

Quality recording

Excellent sound quality as well as story lines. Holmes and Watson are one of my all time favorites.
