Cumberbatch's rendition of these classic Holmes tales is a perfect blend of his iconic voice and the intriguing mysteries of Conan Doyle. It's a real treat to hear such a talented actor bring these stories to life. Thank you!
@@lekoro1 Thanks for that. I'd read all the Sherlock books when I was a young girl, I thought my memory was failing me, I was thinking, "I don't remember that mystery". That explains it.

English with a capital letter...like French or German.
I gotta say. I will listen to literally every Sherlock Holmes story by Benedict Cumberbatch and absolutely loved him as a modern version of Sherlock. However, Magpie Audio for me *is the standard*. I am a fan in all forms. I will watch, listen, and read it all.
@@theobolt250 I genuinely had no idea this series even existed. I lived in Albania for most of the 2010s but I would thought I'd at least have heard of it.
100%, Greg Wagland is the gold standard of Sir Conan Doyle audiobook narration! I love both Cumberbatch and Miller, I refuse to compare them either to each other or Sir Doyle's original character. To me, they are 3 brilliantly distinct and separate characters. Gatiss' 'Sherlock' made the character much more an abrupt brilliant sociopath (which Doyle's character never was), and Miller's 'Holmes' was more withdrawn than aloof and did the job of Americanisation of the character which popularised to their audience more effectively than ever before. They are both vastly different from the original character, but they are brilliantly entertaining. I just can't compare them because they are so different from the original 'canon'.
@@lady_bexy That has me thinking of the idea of how someone would approach the idea of being Sherlock Holmes. Another actor that should be included in this is Hugh Laurie. Dr. House was yet another incarnation of Holmes.
Being 78 years old and have been a great fan of S. H. stories for as long as I can remember , I have stayed clear of them , if not written by the man him self , C. D. , as they do not come up to C.D.`s standard. BUT! these are excellent and the narration is splendid, so , thank you !
The music is suspenseful, the story is thrilling, and Cumberbatch’s voice adds a hint of emphasis and more mystery to the story which makes sit on the edge of my bed! 🎉
Very enjoyable stories. I went to sleep to it last night and had to come back the next day and listen to it while I was wide awake, because I needed to hear what happened. That last one was a particularly wild ride!
Benedict Cumberbatch is a modern day Adonis with astonishing talent ! Oh, how I wish he were in many, many movies and TV series while he is yet in his prime. 💖
I am a die hard Baker Street Irregular, but, i don't hear Benedicts voice. Its been a few years since I heard his voice when he was playing Sherlock, ( modern day), but... im listening to it anyway, love any voices of Sherlock. 😊
I've listened to this for the third time and I just love it! Benedict is very good reader and does marvelous voices. I rank him 3rd, after Simon Stanhope and Greg Wagland. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hi thanks for watching/listening and your support, it's a shame to ruin your routine but nothing I can do. Fyi the channel is not monetised so it's not on me, just UA-cam doing UA-cam things - only way around it is UA-cam premium, which costs too much - there are free trials and offers for students etc.
@@justfreeaudiobooks thanks for explaining that you can't help it either. Too bad it is really impossible to listen for anyone. In the first story there were 6 or more adds, one 2.30 minutes long, before I turned it off. I found an old download on my computer 😀. So I say: good night!
UA-cam premium is cheap. I pay 17 months. I think for the family, but it's like 10 bucks for just you &you get the music app free. I drive for a living, so I pay for it just so I can download & shut the screen off ( I don't need dot thinking I'm watching UA-cam while driving). It's cheaper than audible, and you get more for your money
Wow, thank you so much for doing this. I'm not sure I can go to sleep. Because the stories are really interesting. And you wanna stay awake to hear them?😊
Jenniferm - Ahhhh, me too! Wasn’t he a fabulous Sherlock? Love Benedict in anything, but Jeremy Brett WAS Sherlock to me, as David Suchet WAS Poirot. I was so upset when I heard about Jeremy’s death and read about his life. Such an edgy production for the time too, considering the drug use portrayal as per the books. Notwithstanding, Benedict is a fantastic and consummate actor too! Thanks for posting this, I appreciate it and am saving it for later!
Indeed ! But you can grab the subtle changes in Benedict Cumberbatch's voice when he reads John's part. He's slower than while playing Sherlock Holmes. His voice sounds a little less deeper. Sometimes the lines sounds melodic, sometimes you can hear him smile as he talks, he's more prone to all of emotions in general as John Watson. As for voicing Sherlock, however, you can hear that he's lines sounds a little more succincts, logical like. Even when prone to emotions, he sound a little more cold, and he's voice shift to something a little deeper et sometimes quicker. I'm amazed at his voice acting and acting skills and quite obsessed with Sherlock Holmes ! Sorry for the long paragraph, I would have loved to hear Martin Freeman's voice as John too ! Have a nice day/night
Cumberbatch is terrific but the writing leaves a lot to be desired. It sounds nothing like Doyle’s Holmes in diction nor structure. It’s grey and too modern. Doyle’s prose has more tension in it.
These are so awesome and so well performed. Spoilers for anyone who hasn't listened to all of them. I have a question about the 2nd story, if the doors of the train were locked, how did the thieves get inside to move the guard from coach 14 to coach 13? Unless they gave Mr. Masterson a key to the train but I feel like that would be weird for the railroad company to just hand out a key to the train. And also a question about the last story. How did Mr. Weeks get Jack's gun? I guess it doesn't really matter but it just seems weird to me to bring up as a detail, unless Beth was mistaken as to it being Jack's gun. Regardless the stories are superb!
Cumberbatch didn't do any of these floating around UA-cam. These are AI and using his name illegally. If you watch the videos of him reading letters, not in a character, you would hear the difference. He did do one audio book, I think.
@@henrygilchrist3793Yeah I used to think that too but you'd be surprised how good ai narration is now. I didnt believe it until I heard Stephen Fry Ai read some fanfic and it sounded so good down to his breathing and pacing.
I don’t know who Cumberbatch is, but this is the absolute best AI I’ve ever heard! I listen to audio books all the time and two to three syllables in, I hear the distinct AI verbiage…which is soooo annoying to me which has me look for another book immediately.😁This book really doesn’t sound like an AI🤷🏾♀️
Thank you so much for posting these stories. One slight thing, could you list the names of them? Kind of frustrating if you’ve heard them before, and want to get the ones you haven’t heard before quickly.
Whatever Benedict is reading, listening is narcotic.
Sherlock Holmes telling Sherlock Holmes stories. Neat.
❤❤
Yeah. His voice makes you feel like you’re really in the case.
haha. yeah. Wait, wait, wait. It's Smaug, reading a Sherlock Holmes story.
Astounding reading. Benedict's tone and cadence brought Sherlock into the this time. Thanks B.C.

Not classic these were written recently by a different author
They did do a decent job of it though
@@lekoro1 Thanks for that. I'd read all the Sherlock books when I was a young girl, I thought my memory was failing me, I was thinking, "I don't remember that mystery". That explains it.
These stories are not by A.C. Doyle. It's announced at the beginning.
Magpie audio is way better! Look them up.
And those accents are very unusual - like nothing I’ve heard before! Great at Watson and Holmes but big fails at any regional accent!! Still good fun.
These audiobooks helped me a lot to expand my knowledge of the english language, I can almost fool people into thinking it's my native language now
Well done! It's a challenge to learn for speakers of other languages. ❤️ 😊 🌿
I'm often relieved that English is my mother tongue. 😅
I enjoy learning other languages myself.
English with a capital letter...like French or German.
Space after "..." or rather just write correctly with a comma.
I'm native english speaker and I talk it good.
I speek 7 langages and english the very good

Can't argue with that, thanks for listening!
I do agree, but, there can only be one modern Holmes. And his name is Jonny Lee Miller!

I enjoy Sherlock Holmes stories especially when voiced by B. Cumberpatch. He immerses himself in to his rolls in whatever it is.
Then you can start learning English grammar😂
Roles
Agreed lol
I wish there were a word ‘penguin’ 🐧
Pengwing 😂
Pengwing 😂 penglin😂
Me too lol
Same 😂
Don't be mean
Absolute master of every UK dialect. Shaking my head.
Which one is this?
I clicked here cause I thought it will be British. 😊

Written by him or a family member or a creepy fan.
Hi there Benedict lol
Sherlock Holmes is more entertaining when Benedict Cumberbatch is reading it.
I like that these are new so it doesn’t spoil the reading I have to do with the complete collection book I got.
This is a perfect example of the English language spoken . ❤

But none of them can do an American accent. May fool

What a perfectly sounding set of stories. Not my normal thing to listen to but I really enjoyed every one. I had no ads at all.
Nothing like yarns of the great detective Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson expressed by BC!!
Absolutely! Thanks for listening, glad you enjoyed it.
I can listen to him forever
Wow, thank you so much for doing this. I'm not sure I can go to sleep. Because the stories are really interesting. And you wanna stay awake to hear them?😊
Love his work! He is one of a kind when it comes to reading and acting!
Awesome! Bandicoot Candysnatch reading!!
Lol😂😂😂
I love Sherlock Holmes books and Benedict reads it so well. Thanks for the video, man. You deserve more subscribers.
You're welcome and thank you.
Couldn't disagree more, I think he is bloody awful, sorry!.
BC is my fave S Holmes story reader. I can get lost in the stories with this reader.
❤😊❤
Fortunately there are no penguins in these Sherlock Holmes stories 😂
Finally someone said it! Pengwing, penglings, pangwang - and many more synonyms he has added! 😂😂😂 Totally loved those pronunciations!
More stories to come, like the
„The pickpocketing pengwing“.😉😆
Listening to a talented actor. Love it!
Excellent. Harrovians have by far the best voices for this material.
Benedict Cumberbatch is an awesome reader!
CONAN DOYLE would of loved that name ( Benedict Cumberbatch ) and would of kicked himself for not having thought of it .
Beautifully done. Best of all, I fancy I can hear the echo of Jeremy Brett's voice now and again!
Oooh yes! Jeremy Brett was the Sherlock of my childhood! My father used to read the ACD stories to me, and we’d watch Brett’s Holmes on PBS!
Jenniferm - Ahhhh, me too! Wasn’t he a fabulous Sherlock? Love Benedict in anything, but Jeremy Brett WAS Sherlock to me, as David Suchet WAS Poirot.

Love his voice.

Would have made much more sense to have Martin Freeman as the reader since it s Watson's writing 😆

Every time I see this thumbnail, I keep thinking it's the music video for "Danger! High Voltage."
Keep it up John Taylor!
I was surprised by the complaints about ads. They were there, yes, but not that bad, I thought.
Thanks for not complaining, glad you enjoyed!

Cumberbatch was clearly channeling Rupert Graves in his rendition of Inspector Lestrade.
Ty Doctor Strange, for reading this book!
What a delight..👌🏼💥

Yes Cumberbatch read these for a BBC special :) they’re not the original Sherlock stories bug some modern fan-written ones if I recall correctly
