Excellent Holmes and Watson with a script that lets them shine! You got me looking around with your Michael Hardwick credit and additional Robert Powell details.

It is a relief that Dr. Watson is not interpreted as the usual stereotype of a gibbering idiot as in most productions. This is because each of the play producers had to make a judgement regarding the intelligence and literacy level of their different target audiences. Most producers obviously thought little of the intelligence of their audiences and thus had to have an uneducated simple Watson so that Holmes would have to explain everything to him very simply so that the audience could also understand.
Bravo 👏 Another excellent program a fine effort for all concerned and thank you once again for sharing this with everyone I did notice that this would be the first story in the series as it was an origin story of how Holmes and Watson began their relationship Would you be so kind to post what the chronological order is for these stories as I would like very much to listen to them in order Thank you very much again from a new subscriber

Very different from the American versions in which Dr Watson is made out to be an imbecile! They do it so that the audience can understand what is going on... by Holmes explaining everything in great detail to Watson. A similar technique is used in the various CSI tv series, there is always someone who has to have things explained! But the BBC is true to Arthur Conan Doyle's writings, and Dr W. is depicted as inteligent.

It is the bbc at its finest
@@VintageRadioPrograms Absolutely 💯

there is a 4 minute audio 'cut' around the 36 minute mark.It continues at 40:10.
Any audio gaps in my uploads unless otherwise stated are stuff I had to mute because of copyright claim

I did enjoy the story. There is a silence in this episode, between 36:51 and 40:07, and I think a piece is missing because of it
Excellent Holmes and Watson with a script that lets them shine! You got me looking around with your Michael Hardwick credit and additional Robert Powell details. I knew that Michael Hardwick - often together with his wife Mollie - did a lot with and about Holmes and Conan Doyle, but did not know how much! His Wikipedia article has many details (such as published play versions of stories), and I learned other things from the Internet Archive, including that he did a different 1962 BBC adaptation (with Carleton Hobbs as Sherlock Holmes and Norman Shelley as Dr. Watson). And I see Robert Powell voice-acted Dr. Watson (and Sherlock Holmes, when Watson quotes him!) in Clive Norton and Oliver Wakeman's 2002 rock opera of The Hound of the Baskervilles (having previously narrated Rick Wakeman's 1987 The Gospels).
Wonderful keep the programmes coming
Great interaction. I love it.
Thanks so much.
Excellent performances, I imagined characters quite unlike their appearance that I m familiar with.
Thank you
Robert Powell is absolutely wonderful! I will watch or listen to anything he is in!
I agree

This is a one off story. They did not produce any more in this series.
21/01/74!!!!!
What? I am confused
@@VintageRadioPrograms Must be the radio programme broadcast date.
Yes it is the original 1st broadcast date of the program
Great drama
A STUDY IN SCARLET.
Vintage indeed, 46 years ago.
Wow cool I’m vintage!

i got him mixed up with the film actor Demin elliot.Must be one of the early radio dramas seen Robert Powel first in the bbc1 series DOOMWATCH This radio version oc a study in scarlet must be a waterd down version of the book it misses many things out from the original storey
Nice
Start at 1.04 to avoid terrible singing/shouting noise
"A Study in Scarlet"
Very different from the American versions in which Dr Watson is made out to be an imbecile! They do it so that the audience can understand what is going on... by Holmes explaining everything in great detail to Watson. A similar technique is used in the various CSI tv series, there is always someone who has to have things explained! But the BBC is true to Arthur Conan Doyle's writings, and Dr W. is depicted as inteligent.
No Mormons?
Nine to Seven!
Seven to Five!
Awful singing at the start😢
A very subjective opinion, if I may say so.
