I finally get why people enjoyed to listen to the radio as if it were alike televised content.

Terrific production ... exceptional voice actors & director

Love this radio show, can't wait to hear more to come!!!!

Ahhhhhh.....nighty night from Alberta Canada 🇨🇦. 🙏.

Just wanted to say thanks for posting this. Its great to listen to in bed winding down from the day. Thanks again

An excellent audio play, and a good Sherlock Holmes story, The story itself is very good, which makes it unusual, since so many Sherlock Holmes stories on KZread are pretty poor. This one is good, and well worth listening to.

Well done, from the good old days of BBC audio play, where attention was paid to detail and a natural flow of conversation and background noises. 👍👋🧙‍♀️

I live for these. Thank you so much for posting.

Love Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson!! Thanks for posting! 👍

The Doctor Cream in this play was a real person. I had only read about him a couple of days before. It made listening so much more enjoyable knowing it was based on fact. And yes, he was cross eyed! Excellent play. Thank you.

It's so much better than television!

Very enjoyable, thank you very much 👏🥂

We did enjoy this. It wasn't what we expected. Thank you.

Great fun. Thank you.

...this episode brought back memories of reading 'The Complete Holmes' or some such title. Sherlock Holmes slammed cocaine! We all know about the opium dens however, one must read between the lines here. But I distinctly recall reading precisely that while stationed in the U. K.. 🎉

Thank you very much ❤

Makes me so proud to be English

It’s quickly apparent this was not written by A C Doyle! I think I would file this under ‘fan fiction’. But thanks for posting it.

Very entertaining.

I don’t think the actor is at all bad, as some previous listeners have thought. No-one will ever reach the perfect characterisation of Jeremy Brett, he WAS Holmes, but this guy’s voice is very well suited to Holmes. Unfortunately the actor playing Dr Watson was heard to pronounce the ‘l’ in Holmes, definitely a no no.

Only the lower classes drop the " H". Educated gentleman pronounce it!

That was excellent. Thank you

First anagram example: NEILL CREAM = CLEM NAILER = LIAM LENCER = EARL M CLINE = ALEC MILNER = ALEC MERLIN = IAN MERCELL Second anagram example: HAMISH WATSON = SIMON HAWSATH All those anagrams are bringing me back to _The Chamber of Secrets._

As I look at you and your family, all of you look so so, happy !!! What a great picture of you and yours, family !!! Cheers.. !!

Basil Rathbone and Jeremy Brett were my favourite Sherlock Holmes actors. William Chubb doesn't quite sound convincing enough. He seems the sort of actor that would be good in a comedy or possibly a soap opera). I've read every Holmes book (and also concordances of the stories). I have a pretty good idea how Conan Doyle envisaged his character.

even tho I'm not sure the guy playing Holmes would be really all that great in any role, as far as vocal style/tone/etc, the Holmes voice here is clearly more suited for the Watson character, and vice versa

@@kevinw712 I quite agree. Vice-versa.

The real Cream was an absolute nut bag, not very smart but more lucky.

(possible spoilers) This is the first time I've heard a story where Sherlock Holmes truly lost. Even "THE Woman" didn't impressively win as well as this mad man. I hope to hear the next time Sherlock attempts wi catch this fiend. Lastly, I was very disappointed how the poisoner was caught. It was cheap and lacked brilliance. If it had ended with Holmes being victorious this would have gone down as the worst Sherlock Holmes story ever writen. I'm off to binge every video on this Chanel

What a self-indulgent drag the intro is.

Other than the dodgy "American" accent by the actor playing Cream I enjoyed the performances. The ending was a cheat though and spoiled the story for me.

holmes failed how singularly. unusual

Nearly 90 minutes of Sherlockian cliche's, shameless pretense, and ridiculous suppositions.

TOO MUCH MUSIC

Terrible story. Made Holmes look stupid. Real Sherlock would have finished the job and had not been so stupid to miss so many clues. Poor substitute

I may be wrong but it seems to me that the BBC likes to tear down even fictional characters who are intelligent and competent than most because it"s "elitist" in their view.

This is not great. Could be worse though.

Seriously? That's how it ends? Lame.

Cringeworthy ! Cast / Script / Plot .....it's not often all 3 are of equal awfulness but whoever was responsible for this managed it ! Whichever BBC producer was responsible should have been sacked.!

Miscast rather than awful. The Dr Watson's ok but few actors can compete with the gorgeous voices of Basil Rathbone, Jeremy Brett and Benedict Cumberbatch, this poor actor attempting Sherlock Holmes sadly falls far short. I couldn't listen to it either.

@@clintfarmer1 We agree. My youngest grandchild loves to listen together, we pause and put together the clues as we go along. It sometimes is a lively debate because we have different suspects. It's so much fun to spend time together figuring out the the mysteries together.

I'm almost a half hour into this thing... okay at first I was gonna say that at the very least, the Holmes & Watson actors CLEARLY should be switched here, but I'm even kinda surprised at how poor Crawford Logan's acting is in this (he who I've otherwise greatly enjoyed in the more recent version of Paul Temple). His accent as Watson's all over the place so far. and the guy playing Holmes I think might be the worst actor in this role I've ever heard in radio theater. granted, the writing as it is isn't all that great, I'm very sorry to say. always grateful for an upload, but production-wise I'm pretty disappointed so far
