Due to early nights caused by the run-up and aftermath of the London Marathon, it’s taken me several evenings to finish this 2-hour adventure from Big Finish. The first half of The Tangled Skein plays like a traditional Sherlock Holmes adventure stepping into a mystery with a bizarre explanation – […]

I finished Big Finish‘s adaptation of The Hound of the Baskervilles, plus the interview extras, last night. It’s pretty clear that Sherlock Holmes is a labour of love for these guys, particularly Nicholas Briggs.

I am sure that everyone must know, by now, of the dreadful curse of The Hound of the Baskervilles that is said to blight the family of the Baskervilles. Sherlock Holmes (Nicholas Briggs) is consulted when the last surviving member of the Baskerville family arrives in England to take up […]

Back in 2002 and 2004, the BBC commissioned two Sherlock Holmes adventures featuring Ian Hart as Dr Watson. The first, an adaptation of The Hound of the Baskervilles in 2002 starring Richard Roxburgh. The second, The Case of the Silk Stocking in 2004 starring Rupert Everett. I’m not sure why […]

I’ve just stumbled across another version of The Hound of the Baskervilles, this time starring Stewart Granger as Sherlock Holmes and Bernard Fox as Watson. Yes, it also stars William Shatner as Stapleton together with Anthony Zerbe as Mortimer. The main positive is the set design. It’s very atmospheric and […]

Doing a bit of browsing last night, I discovered that someone has uploaded the Tom Baker Sherlock Holmes adventure, The Hound of The Baskervilles, to YouTube. I’ve wanted to see Tom Baker’s take on the role for many years, so I’ve downloaded them to watch. Although the primary note of this production is that […]
