Only let down by the recording.
What did you like most about The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes?
One of the best drama audio versions of Holmes.
Any additional comments?
The audio book does not have separate starts and ends to each story only one long continuation.
Would be better to be able to find the start of one of the stories.

Definitive
To say these adaptations are the best still feels like an understatement. This quality will never be bettered. Monumental.

Great but annoying chapter divisions and titles
really like this but its divided into hundreds of chapters of a few minutes each, just labelled by their number rather than the name of the story. makes it really hard to listen to! please change this

Brilliantly adapted by the BBC
Quite simply this is a fantastic production. Brilliantly adapted for audio and brilliantly acted too. It’s of a style that you’ll either love or hate, but I loved it!

Excellent adaptation of Sherlock Holmes
The best cast, arrangement and drama of Sherlock Holmes in audio format.
I absolutely loved every minute of my listening and intend to buy the rest of the series.

Loved it
The story is excellent & brilliantly narrated by a full cast with the excellent Clive Merrison as Sherlock Holmes. Michael Williams also does a commendable job as Doctor Watson. The one downside for me is the total lack of chapter headers so you know where to jump in if you want to listen to a specific story. This has 180 chapters which makes it extremely difficult to find one story when you want to - complaint over.

Excellently adapted adventures
Wonderfully adapted, brilliantly cast and intriguing this is a brilliant collection. Odd that the chapters are so short but on the whole does not affect the listeners experience
