Best Holmes there is, bar none.
I've long been a fan of Clive Merrison's Sherlock Holmes. Merrison performed every story in the canon of Sherlock Holmes for the BBC, and are in my opinion unsurpassed. Up until now I've had to wait for repeats to be aired on Radio 4, so finding them on audible was amazing. I urge any serious Sherlock Holmes fan not to overlook these plays for more recent readings or TV programmes. These are classic Sherlock at its best.

Superb
Clive Merrison and Michael Williams are up there with Brett, Burke and Hardwicke in their portrayals. These BBC productions are very entertaining with a nice smattering of guest stars too. A very compelling, relaxing listen.

The supreme Holmes audio interpretation
There are many readings and dramatisations of the Holmes canon but this will remain the ultimate interpretation. Outstanding!

Excellent Stuff!
Simply wonderful production and performances from all concerned. The pairing of Merrison and Williams was a stroke of genius as both complement each other wonderfully well as Holmes and Watson respectfully. The production values are first class as one would expect from BBC radio of the day. The stories draw you in to such an extent that you begin to visualise the images in the minds eye as the scenes play out through the spoken word and accompanying sound effects. Cannot fault it.

Superb
On its own as the best dramatisation of Holmes. This series will go down in History as the reference point. Enjoy!

Brilliant
Clive Merrison is excellent as Sherlock Holmes & Michael Williams is also great as Watson. These are very good adaptions of some of the original Sherlock Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle. Just sit back close your eyes listen & get transported back to Victorian England. Absolutely brilliant.
