In the 70's as a child, there was a spate of Sherlock Holmes black & white films with Basil Rathbone. I remember watching one every night with my Mum (around 6pm). He is the ultimate Sherlock imo. Does anyone else recall this?
What fun! While I have listened to some of the Rathbone/Bruce Holmes’ pastiches, the intro was the first I have heard voice actor Ben Wright as himself! He appeared all over the place in the 40’s, 50’s as British characters in shows like Suspense, Escape, Pursuit, and Crime Classics.

I dont remember them but there are quite a few episodes on youtube. I did upload a couple to my page but I got hit with copyright warning.
