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.

Best Holmes there is, bar none.

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

The supreme Holmes audio interpretation

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.

Excellent Stuff!

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.

Wonderful adaptations with splendid performances, particularly from Merrison and Williams. Indeed, they're possibly the best Holmes and Watson, rivalling Jeremy Brett and both his Watsons.

Brilliant from beginning to end
