Publisher's summary

Enjoy 16 thrilling crime stories solved by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s brilliant detective Sherlock Holmes as they keep you glued to your chair - cup of tea in hand!

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 decided to move on. Tom Conway took over with Nigel Bruce continuing as Watson (in this pairing 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. You’ll hear Basil Rathbone, Tom Conway, John Stanley, and Sir Ralph Richardson (Holmes); and Nigel Bruce, Alfred Shirley, and Sir John Gielgud (Watson) in these 16 episodes.

Great fun.

These a first-rate adaptations of Holmes stories with excellent actors. Like a bit of time travel.

Commercials

Can’t stand all the repetitive wine commercials. I try to avoid getting any books like that. But I love Sherlock and Watson
