The Hound Of The Baskervilles Part 1 (05/27/1988)
Roger Rees Sherlock Holmes
Crawford Logan Dr. Watson
In 1987, Bert Coules, a freelance writer for radio, told BBC about his idea of adapting The Hound of the Baskervilles. The following year, on May 27th 1988, the first half of the adventure was aired on radio. Roger Rees played Sherlock Holmes and Crawford Logan played Dr. Watson. The second half was broadcasted on June 3rd. It was a hit with the audience and the press. Then, two other novels were ordered : A Study in Scarlet and The Sign of Four, but Roger Rees was no longer available. A new casting was whosen and Clive Merrison became Holmes with Michael Williams as Watson. Both novels were released in november and december 1989. It was another success and Bert Coules proposed six other short stories. But the BBC asked for the entire Sherlock Holmes stories!
The first story was stand alone and aired on BBC Radio 4 Afternoon Theater. The rest of the stories where part of the program The BBC Presents Sherlock Holmes

It's pretty cool that Matt Zimmerman of "Thunderbirds" for this Radio Production.

"Release the hounds!" Look at that: Sir Hugo using one of Mr. Burns' catchphrases two years before _The Simpsons_ went on the air. 😜😆😉
And did I hear Dr. Watson doing the tune of the "Major-General's Song" from _The Pirates of Penzance?_ Love it! 16:25 - 16:33

For some reason this Watson reminds me of the Watson from The Irregulars on Netflix. Same low voice but also the way they both speak, I think. I really like Sherlock’s voice actor too.

I couldn't stop laughing when Holmes yawned as Dr Mortimer was reading the manuscript concerning the legend of the hound! I had to play it back about 4 times as it was so funny!
