The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Bert Coules

The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Bert Coules

In the fifty-six short stories and four novels Arthur Conan Doyle wrote about his great detective, there are many passing references to successful cases that are never actually written about. These four stories, written by the main dramatist on the complete BBC Radio 4 Sherlock Holmes canon, imaginatively flesh out the cases behind those references to wonderful effect. As in the complete dramatised canon, Clive Merrison plays the great sleuth. Andrew Sachs plays the role of Doctor Watson, while the star cast includes Tom Baker, Eleanor Bron, Jane Asher, Tim West and Toyah Willcox. The stories are: 'The Madness of Colonel Warburton'; 'The Star of the Adelphi'; 'The Saviour of Cripplegate Square' and 'The Singular Inheritance of Miss Gloria Watson'. 4 CDs. 2 hrs 55 mins.

"A joy from beginning to end.. ingenious extensions of the Conan Doyle originals" Daily Telegraph

Bert Coules was the head writer on the BBC's unique project to dramatise all sixty of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories with the same two actors, Clive Merrison and Michael Williams, in the leading roles. He also wrote four series of entirely new Holmes mysteries. Among his other radio credits are several dramatisations of Ian Rankin's 'Rebus' novels; The Thirty-Nine Steps (based on the John Buchan novel) and two further adventures featuring Richard Hannay, The Three Hostages and Mr Standfast.
