Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional detective is one of the most enduring popular sleuths of all time. Gathered together in this striking collector's box set is all the Arthur Conan Doyle stories and novels featuring Holmes & Watson - an impressive accomplishment! The entire 48-hour series features the same expert team of directors, producers, dramatizers, and leading actors - including Clive Merrison as Holmes and Michael Williams as Watson. Acclaim for this work has been widespread: 'A remarkable undertaking - the dramatization of all 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories. Applauding them, and particularly Clive Merrison's Holmes, made my hands sore.' - Peter Davalle, The Times (London).
This collection is a welcome addition to the library of any Doyle aficionado, and will provide hours of unrivalled entertainment.
Presented on 64 CDs, 48 hours, and featuring a Full Cast.

If you really enjoy Sherlock Holmes then you positively have to get this set. The audio is fantastic - no hissing or background distractions. Pure sound. Actors are the best too. This is definitely a worthwhile purchase.

This is THE comprehensive, all-inclusive, multi-cast audio edition from BBC Radio. Remember that these were radio shows of approximately 45-minutes (uninterrupted) or, in the case of the books such as The Hound of the Baskervilles, two 45-minute radio shows. This means that they are edited, abridgements to fit the format. Yet these are much more true to the original than the American radio shows of the forties (Basil Rathbone & others), which were limited to about 20 minutes (a 30-minute format interrupted by two long commercials and other announcements).

I love the BBC Sherlock Holmes CDs. The product arrived damaged. I find it impossible to talk to someone at Amazon to return the item. I would still like to return the item for an undamaged set.

I have listened to many of the Sherlock Holmes recordings in the marketplace. The BBC Radio Complete Conan Doyle Sherlock Holmes Cd set outshines them all.
The production values are outstanding, and Clive Merrison is a great Holmes.
Don't let the price scare you - it works out to just over $2.50 per CD

I don't think there is any better audio production than this set of dramas. It easily compares with the best radio drama of the 40's and 50's when you had Orson Welles, Arch Obler, Norman McDonnell, William Spier and Carlton E. Morse producing alot of sterling work. This set harkens back to that kind of quality. Before everybody moved to television. The writing,the acting, the sound effects are superb. Audio is unique. I think it is the best medium for creating atmosphere. With this set,you are literally transported back in time to late 19th century London and it's environs and colorful characters(including our two heroes). There is no doubt with this set. The BBC simply does audio drama the way it's supposed to be done. SUPERB!!!
