    A collection of twelve radio shows of short stories of Sherlock Holmes and Watson. The production value is great, and Gielgud is superb. The "theme song" violin solo get repetitive, and some of the stories are too similar to each other, but overall each story is appealing in its own way. The stories are also out of order, as "The Final Problem" is the end of Holmes and one of the later stories is the meeting of Holmes and Watson. Overall I definitely recommend this as a fantastic example of classic radio shows and for a great set of storie.

    Excellent (and very faithful) adaptations of the original stories, starring John Gielgud and Ralph Richardson. Orson Welles is perfectly cast as Professor Moriarty.
