    The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes was an exceedingly popular Old-time Radio (OTR) show that aired in the United States, and starred Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce from October 1939 to July 1947. Edith Meiser, Dennis Green and Anthony Boucher wrote the episodes. Together, Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce appeared in 220 episodes as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.


    In this podcast episode, Dr. Watson tells the story of the Hampstead Heath murders to a live audience at Camp Roberts, and the inspector from Scotland Yard provides details about the case. Unidentified characters, including victims of the murderer, also speak. The story involves a series of murders of young women, and Scotland Yard turns to Sherlock Holmes for help. Dr. Watson and Sherlock Holmes visit a wax museum in search of clues about the murderer and discover that the wax figure of the murderer is missing. They suspect that the owner of the museum, Lavec, may be involved and are confronted by him. They manage to outsmart him and escape, and the episode ends with Holmes admitting that he was unable to recognize the pattern and suggesting that if Watson were to chronicle the story, he should title it "The Education of an Idiot."

These radio plays are a delight to me. Basil Rathbone is the epitome of Sherlock Holmes in both looks and performance, and Nigel Bruce is an enjoyable (if slightly comedic) Watson. The individual episodes vary in length between 16 to 32 minutes, but are always enjoyable. The old sponsorship messages at the start and end of each episode are bearable, and serve as a reminder that these radio plays were recorded in the 1930s and 40s. The annoying addition is the modern adverts included at the start and end of each episode, but that is the annoyance you have to deal with to have so many episodes in 'podcast' episodic format.

Basil Rathbone starred as Holmes in approximately 220 radio episodes between 1939 and 1946, with 120+ episodes in this collection. I understand that a lot of episodes were lost, and the audio quality of some others is probably too degraded to include in an Audible collection.

This is a gem of a collection if you enjoy radio plays and Sherlock Holmes. Just skip the annoying intro and end adverts.

Basil Rathbone IS Sherlock Holmes!
