Many thanks.
I liked the unexpected humor in this story (the references to cutting off a head, watson afraid of Holmes bedroom, etc.) Very entertaining story. ❤
ruclips.net/video/-3IaPJXBmS8/видео.htmlsi=gsbypo78eILZzmfx this is good
I thoroughly enjoyed this little mystery. Trying to solve a mystery without leaving the room. Brilliant.👌
These productions are brilliant. Thanks
One of the beauties of these dramatisations and performances is that we are given some inkling of what Holmes sees in Watson, other than a stooge. It's an excellent illustration of the process of thinking by conversation: Holmes as Socrates.
so nice that Dr Watson is presented as a valuable friend to Sherlock Holmes rather than a bumbling sidekick.
if you are alluding to the way that nigel bruce played watson to basil Rathbone's holmes , I couldn't agree more.
@@frankah The way Bruce and an unfortunate number of other actors played him...
In this series, both Holmes and Watson admit to how Watson is portrayed as a dull sidekick in order to let Holmes shine just for the sake of the Mags. I like this lore a lot.
Just read the books.
God that is an ignorant comment.
Before Nigel Bruce, the character of Watson was a minor sidekick. Bruce turned him into an almost equally important role, even if he was bumbling. And it was his relationship with Rathbone that elevated the Holmes franchise.
Btw, if you can be bothered, you'll find on YT an interview with Arthur Conan Doyle done in 1929 in which he refers to Watson as Holmes's "rather stupid friend".
I salivate with every syllable and nuance of the beautiful spoken word but only and i say only when spoken by certain masterful thespians
Wwyy
I love these shows.
They have everything.
I watch them in my mind.
As I listen to them.
PERFECT.
😎👍🏾
Mr Simon: An Anglophile Canadian🇨🇦, I fully agree. Once allied to Doyle's works only, I'm a convert with these strongly written, superbly produced and exquisitely acted stories.
First transmitted on 18 May 2004, this story is based on a reference from Doyle's short story 'The Adventure of the Priory School': "... the Abergavenny murder is coming up for trial."
Holmes and Watson can rarely have been faced with such an uncooperative and unusual client, and they have just forty minutes to find out what problem has brought him to 221B Baker Street before the heavy boots of the official police force start clumping up the stairs.
This episode is performed in real time.
'...in the drawer with the handcuffs and lockpicks.'
😂
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC AS A HOLMES FAN THIS IS UP THERE WITH THE BEST THANK YOU FOR THESE BRILLIANT DRAMAS R I P MICHAEL WILLIAMS AND ANDREW SACHS 🇮🇹👍🌈♥️
Thank you so much. Have just found these and listened to half a dozen in last 2 days. First time I thought to make a comment. Praise is well deserved. THe full cast adds so much more than even some splendid audio books and of a different level altogether than the godawful AI voiced stories. Truly superb and gratitude to all involved
I love this production -- the writing, the acting, the interplay between two good friends and very human beings (instead of the caricatures to which we are so often treated). Thank you.
A BRILLIANT ANALYSIS MY DEAR HOLMES-STORIES/EXCELLENT ACTING IT MAKES FOR HONEST AN THOUGHTFUL INSIGHT
My absolute favorite of this series
Awesome series thanks for sharing 🔥🎬💋
Wonderful production
Thank you
Stranger's dead body still warm and Holmes has figured it all out! LOL!
Excellent story
The first of the "Further Adventures" audios I ever listened to. And what an introduction it was.
An excellent new story with Sherlock Holmes…temporarily….out of work 😄 Good ol BBC and good on you for sharing it with us! 😊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😊👍👍
Being out of work is the downside of being a private investigator (or "consulting detective", as Holmes styles himself). Raymond Chandler's PI Philip Marlowe had something to say on this subject as well, although his gripe is the financial insecurity that is the result of a dearth of clients, rather than the existential boredom of "resting", as actors describe it (and how much does Holmes charge for his services anyway?)
Thank you.
Love the opening lines!
Brilliant
Great story
I heard many episodes of these two on bbc iplayer earlier this year and still available I think.
Thank you for that as I've never thought of listening to bbc i player for audio plays not just visual media. So thank you sir
@@simonmcgrath4112 I mostly listen to comedy ,drama,documentary and Tony Blackburn! Download and listen when and where you like!
Recent drama wasn’t for me so I searched RUclips instead.r d wingfield plays are also good.
Andrew Sachs, eh? Well, Manuel certainly proved a fine Watson in this production. 👍
Pretty remarkable story
This was a marvelous story! An unexpected client arrives at Baker street, only to fall dead dead upon the floor. Now Holmes must deduce the entire case only from the evidence on the body. I loved the story, but it felt rather unfinished. Yes, Holmes has deduced the truth of the crime, but I would have liked to hear what happened next. Will Lestraude take Holmes word, believing only his evidence? If not, how can Holmes bring the killer to justice? Especially considering that he is accusing an upper class nobleman of murder? And considering that the son will inherit his father's holdings, including the murder weapon and crime scene, and will certainly not permit any investigation, exactly how can Holmes bring the guilty man to justice? There will be no trial, since the client is dead of natural causes, and Scotland Yard is satisfied they have the murderer----who is now dead, which closes the case. So while this was a marvelous story, and very entertaining, it feels entirely unfinished. Of course, we can imagine that Holmes will win the day, but from where we leave the story, to that imagined ending, is miles apart.
Write it. (And I'm not being facetious either ☺️).
We now have a suspect for who killed the master, but who killed the butler? "They are going to kill me" said he before dropping dead, he apparently died of a heart attack, but was he killed? And, who are "they"?
If he was judged guilty, he would have been executed. That's what he meant.
Has anyone read any of David Marcum's Sherlock Holmes stories? I'm wondering if they're worth using my Audible credits on.
WHAT WE SAY AND OUR WE SAY IT IS SO IMPORTANT/WHEN CONVEYED WITH BODY LAUNGUAGE/FACT AND FICTION CAN INSPIRE THE GREAT AND THE MOST DEBAUCHED/HUMAN NATURE IS PREDITOR OR PREY
you have spelt PREDATOR wrong, also spelt HOW wrong.
Is this an original story or a homage,,, sorry they just read that out.
