Holmes by Sidney Paget

Clive Merrison

In 1998 the British Broadcasting Corporation became the first production company ever to dramatise the entire canon of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories and novels. This unique undertaking began in 1989 with Holmes' and Watson's first adventure, A Study in Scarlet and ended with their most famous, The Hound of the Baskervilles.

Starring in all of the original Doyle adventures are Clive Merrison and Michael Williams.

"Clive Merrison's brilliant portrayal" (Time Out) "Michael Williams is perfect casting" (Evening Standard)

The success of the programmes led to two follow-up series of new stories, The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, which were broadcast in 2002 and 2004. These new adventures star Clive Merrison and Andrew Sachs.

"A triumphant continuation of one of Radio 4's great achievements" (The Sunday Times)

The programmes are broadcast on the BBC's principal spoken-word radio station, Radio 4, and released on CD and cassette.

This unofficial site is devoted to details of the shows and the people who made them.
