About this listen

Clive Merrison and Michael Williams star as Holmes and Watson in this collection of stories from the unique fully dramatised BBC Radio 4 canon, based on Arthur Conan Doyle's original short stories.

The 12 dramatisations are 'A Scandal in Bohemia'; 'The Red-Headed League'; 'A Case of Identity'; 'The Boscombe Valley Mystery'; 'The Five Orange Pips'; 'The Man with the Twisted Lip'; 'The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle'; 'The Adventure of the Speckled Band'; 'The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb'; 'The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor'; 'The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet'; and 'The Adventure of the Copper Beeches'.

In these 12 stories, Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson investigate a compromising photograph, a murder case with Australian connections, a disreputable opium den, a Christmas goose, a ruined ancestral estate, a disastrous wedding day, a house with frightening secrets and several other baffling circumstances.

Among the large supporting cast are Sarah Badel, Andrew Sachs, James Grout, James Wilby, Sam West, Stephen Tompkinson and Imogen Stubbs.

These adaptations are the best comfort -listening possible. The cast is excellent and completely conveys the world of Holmes and Watson creating such a vivid world it is hard not to believe in some parallel world they exist. These are brilliant adaptations of the stories and I can only totally recommend these dramatizations.

Perfect Watson and Holmes dramatization.

Good characterisation. I particularly enjoyed Watson being portrayed as sensible, rather than a buffoon. Loved Sherlock's laughter! Chapters were very short - perhaps Audible could invent a way of specifying 1 or 2 chapters to play, rather than a time.

Great stories, well told

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

Great but annoying chapter divisions and titles

Excellent well structured audiobook. BBC will always do a brilliant job. This version has multiple stories that excellently played out and put together
