À propos de cet audio

Fully dramatised adaptations of all 60 Sherlock Holmes stories, brought to life with a full cast of actors, sound effects and music

Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary detective Sherlock Holmes and his dear friend Dr Watson are among the most enduringly popular fictional characters ever created. Their adventures have been dramatised countless times on radio, TV and film, but until BBC Radio 4 took on the challenge in 1989, no one had ever attempted to adapt all sixty stories.

Beginning with A Study in Scarlet and concluding with The Hound of the Baskervilles, their epic project took over 8 years to complete - and this landmark collection contains the extraordinary result of their labours. Here is the world's first ever fully dramatised Sherlock Holmes canon: 56 short stories and 4 novels, all made by the same team of directors, producers, dramatists and leading actors, and packed with the high production qualities of a film or TV drama that set it apart.

Starring one of radio's great double acts, Clive Merrison and Michael Williams, as Holmes and Watson, and with guest stars including Brian Blessed, Judi Dench, Maurice Denham, Andrew Sachs, Peter Davison, Robert Glenister and Harriet Walter, this definitive collection contains over 48 hours of enthralling listening.

Also included is a bonus interview with Adrian Conan Doyle about his father, Sir Arthur, and some fascinating behind-the-scenes revelations from the series' head writer, Bert Coules, about the making of the radio adaptations.

Masterfully done!

This broadcast ran concurrently with the popular Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes show, and I could feel the weight of its influence. I revelled in that, myself, and where the show was, sadly unable to complete the collection with the same two actors, this recording succeeded.

Clive Merrison and Michael Williams delivered magnificent performances. Each story was distilled brilliantly by Bert Coules, and both the effects and music were mixed exceedingly well. I particularly enjoyed the snippets of violin music that proceeded and closed each case. It was a nice touch.

The collection is presented in the order in which Doyle's stories were originally published. I wish that wasn't the case because the final story here, The Adventure of the Retired Colourman, ends on a rather sad note that is corrected by Holmes' true end, His Last Bow.

Don't pass this collection up; it's truly wonderful.

Baker Street Shenanigans: A Plea for My Time and Money

Holmes and Watson come across less like London’s finest detective duo and more like a pair of eccentric uncles who can’t get through a sentence without bursting into laughter over something only they understand.

The choice to recast Arthur Conan Doyle’s iconic characters as jesters in a Victorian comedy club—presumably to offer a profound commentary on the human condition—ends up feeling like a peculiar experiment gone awry.

It's as if someone decided to spice up a classic recipe by adding way too much nutmeg, expecting it to be a culinary revelation, but instead, it just leaves a weird taste in your mouth. This quirky reinterpretation, while bold, seems to confuse the essence of Sherlock and Watson with that of a slapstick comedy.

To the brave soul behind this, your vision of “capturing the human condition” seems less about exploring depth and more about how deep the rabbit hole of hilarity can go—except it’s the kind of laughter that has you checking if you’re in on the joke. I’d love nothing more than to get back the time and credits spent, hoping future endeavors will leave the classics unscathed.
