Piratetv Theater | Classic Radio Drama

Sherlock Holmes
The are some entertainment partnerships that were surely made in heaven and the duo Norman Shelley & Carleton Hobbs is no exception. Throughout the 50s and 60s they were THE Sherlock and Watson for BBC Radio having been brought together for the first time October 1952. Both were already established radio actors: Hobbs was a founding member of the BBC drama repertory company in 1939; the same year that Shelley created his famous Children's Hour role as Winnie-The-Pooh. But it's as the residents of 221B Baker Street that two will be immortalized; whom they portrayed for 17 years.

SYNOPSIS

listen: Sherlock Holmes - The Greek Interpreter

Sherlock has a brother!

In this episode, Sherlock makes an off-handed comment about his brother Mycroft Holmes - which, having never heard Holmes mention a sibling before, totally blows Watson away. Apparently Holmes's older brother has powers of observation and deduction which far outweigh even Sherlock's; however he lacks the will to put them to use as Sherlock does.

At any rate, Sherlock takes Watson to meet Mycroft and it is at this meetng that Mycroft tells them about a case of kidnapping and potential murder. Needless to say Sherlock takes the case...although, by the end, one wonders what Sherlock really did to solve it......
