"Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional detective is one of the most enduring popular sleuths of all time. On 3 November 1989, Sherlock Holmes was given a new voice by Clive Merrison in 'A Study in Scarlet', co-starring Michael Williams as the faithful Doctor Watson. Nearly nine years later the same two lead actors, team of dramatists and directors completed a unique project: the dramatisation of the complete canon of 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories and four novels. Now for the first time, 12 of these ever-popular adventures are available individually on CD."@en
"Clive Merrison stars as Holmes with Michael Williams as Watson in these adventures, part of the unique fully dramatised BBC canon of Conan Doyle's short stories and novels featuring the world-famous sleuth."
"Holmes has retired to the Sussex countryside to tend bees, but old habits linger, especially when there is a case of murder waiting to be solved. In the second story, Mrs. Merrilow has the perfect lodger--a gentle woman who keeps to herself and has paid the rent regularly for seven years. But why won't she show her face? In the third story, the connection between a dog and its bone has never been more important than in this case, which leads Holmes and Watson to a gruesome discovery in an old crypt. In the fourth story, one of the last cases recorded, the detective is in a ruminative mood as he tackles one of the most controversial cases in the canon."
