Customer Reviews

Excellent surprise

From a Sherlock fan, these live renditions of new stories are excellent. Didn't expect such production quality (better than the Rathbone-Bruce stuff although I love those as well) and interesting stories (better than some of the newer R-B stuff). Highly recommended. Get them while you can. Gave them to my kids as well.

The best new Holmes stories since the Rathbone & Bruce radio shows!

These stories are produced by Jim French Productions and I cannot stress how excellent they are! Jim French has an incredible facile mind and knowledge of the Holmes canon and he uses that writing talent to the fullest. The actors playing Holmes and Watson are respectfully John Gilbert & Lawrence Albert and they are quite brilliant in their roles. John Gilbert, unfortunately he has passed away, had one of the most fascinating voices for Holmes I have ever heard. I should mention that both actors are NOT British! These shows are exciting, well written, and wonderfully acted and if you are a Holmesian at all and /or love audio drama or even just a radio show buff buy these and treat yourself to some of the best radio shows in America.

Great Listening for Sherlock Holmes Fans

This is a great dramatization of Sherlock Holmes stories. If you like a presentation that makes you feel as if you can touch the actors and actresses, this is it. The way it is done makes you live and breath the whole atmosphere in the particular story. You can almost see the characters from the vivid descriptions and voices. The presenters are British and just have a style that is so unique that it is by far the best I have heard second only to Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. I would recommend this cassette to any Sherlock Holmes fan, and you will enjoy it over and over again as I have done.

Sherlock Holmes Radio Mysteries

I thoroughly enjoyed these series of stories. I love the radio plays style of "old time radio". It brings the story to life. I strongly recommend this to anyone who loves Sherlock Holmes. In addition, the manufacturer, TOPICS Entertainment, fully stands behind their products. Furthermore, they are one of the few responsible companies that I've run across. They donate 5% of their pre-tax profits to educational and environmental groups. That alone should encourage everyone to do business with this fine outfit. Buy this and you'll not regret it.
