Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

noreply@blogger.com (rocinante) — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 21:49:00 +0000

Hi there, old-time radio fans! I've just discovered that there is also a "new-time" Sherlock Holmes radio show which is currently airing on the BBC. It's called "The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" as most episodes seem not to be adaptions of Conan Doyle stories as such, but rather they take one of the many references to other Holmes cases which are mentioned in these stories and present this new mystery for our enjoyment. Give it a listen and all will become clear - better than my explanation anyway!

The episodes can be heard online using the BBC iPlayer - www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer

Either search for Holmes or look in categories and then drama.

Episodes only remain online for a week or so, but they do seem to get repeated from time to time.

Enjoy!

The Adventure of the Missing Bloodstains

noreply@blogger.com (rocinante) — Thu, 22 May 2008 23:00:00 +0000

First broadcast in 1944, this adventure takes us away from adaptations of the stories originally written by Conan Doyle - but very enjoyable just the same! (Would Conan Doyle ever have imagined Holmes in a Turkish Bath, I wonder?)
