The Great British Radio Play Presents... Sherlock Holmes and The Adventure Of The Pimlico Poisoner

[@terryolsson4145]

What a wonderful relaxing way to spend the night tucked into bed, lights out listening to another Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson adventure into misadventure. Good night.

[@Bambisgf77]

Right there with you! 😊🎉

[@all4paws508]

Ditto here! Its freezing cold here in South Africa

[@barbarawhittall2311]

Good night to you too!!!

Thank you

Yesss! Ty for posting

[@P.G.1966]

I live for these. Thank you so much for posting.

[@jacknorth6438]

Very entertaining.

[@jimmyday656]

It is wonderful to have a bedtime story read to me at my age. Thanks.

[@mcgtwarrior]

I completely agree

[@kathleensmith644]

It’s a play not an audio book.

That was excellent. Thank you

First anagram example: NEILL CREAM = CLEM NAILER = LIAM LENCER = EARL M CLINE = ALEC MILNER = ALEC MERLIN = IAN MERCELL Second anagram example: HAMISH WATSON = SIMON HAWSATH All those anagrams are bringing me back to _The Chamber of Secrets._

[@ranuelthebard3751]

Other than the dodgy "American" accent by the actor playing Cream I enjoyed the performances. The ending was a cheat though and spoiled the story for me.

Were Miranda Rights a thing back then?

[@granthurlburt4062]

This takes place in England. Miranda rights are in the USA.

Seriously? That's how it ends? Lame.

[@kevinw712]

I'm almost a half hour into this thing... okay at first I was gonna say that at the very least, the Holmes & Watson actors CLEARLY should be switched here, but I'm even kinda surprised at how poor Crawford Logan's acting is in this (he who I've otherwise greatly enjoyed in the more recent version of Paul Temple). His accent as Watson's all over the place so far. and the guy playing Holmes I think might be the worst actor in this role I've ever heard in radio theater. granted, the writing as it is isn't all that great, I'm very sorry to say. always grateful for an upload, but production-wise I'm pretty disappointed so far

[@2msvalkyrie529]

Cringeworthy ! Cast / Script / Plot .....it's not often all 3 are of equal awfulness but whoever was responsible for this managed it ! Whichever BBC producer was responsible should have been sacked.!

[@OdeInWessex]

Miscast rather than awful. The Dr Watson's ok but few actors can compete with the gorgeous voices of Basil Rathbone, Jeremy Brett and Benedict Cumberbatch, this poor actor attempting Sherlock Holmes sadly falls far short. I couldn't listen to it either.

[@Self1313]

You're so right. In fact I think everyone should be sacked if they produce anything that an anonymous commentator on the internet doesn't like. And preferably never allowed to work in that industry again.

[@hobhood7118]

I don't think this is a BBC production.

[@clintfarmer1]

Oh people for gosh sakes! Why compare? Just sit back and enjoy! Of course unless you can do a better job...crickets.

[@noneofyourbusiness9369]

@@clintfarmer1 We agree. My youngest grandchild loves to listen together, we pause and put together the clues as we go along. It sometimes is a lively debate because we have different suspects. It's so much fun to spend time together figuring out the the mysteries together.

[@vikingskuld]

Just wanted to say thanks for posting this. Its great to listen to in bed winding down from the day. Thanks again

[@cressidapotter6331]

I don’t think the actor is at all bad, as some previous listeners have thought. No-one will ever reach the perfect characterisation of Jeremy Brett, he WAS Holmes, but this guy’s voice is very well suited to Holmes. Unfortunately the actor playing Dr Watson was heard to pronounce the ‘l’ in Holmes, definitely a no no.

[@brucemarshall3446]

Only the lower classes drop the " H". Educated gentleman pronounce it!

[@lawrencegoldworm]

Nearly 90 minutes of Sherlockian cliche's, shameless pretense, and ridiculous suppositions.

[@terrymitchell2533]

Very enjoyable, thank you very much 👏🥂

[@michelelyons9410]

An excellent audio play, and a good Sherlock Holmes story, The story itself is very good, which makes it unusual, since so many Sherlock Holmes stories on KZbin are pretty poor. This one is good, and well worth listening to.

[@maggiejane6327]

Love Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson!! Thanks for posting! 👍

[@kimmccabe1422]

👍 British do it best

[@pamelamyers9613]

Yes, they do.

[@lerniewojack8348]

The British do it the best compared to Hollywood

[@randomlight1069]

Elementary. You Can't beat a Sherlock Holmes & Watson story. Thanks for posting.

[@sancho8521]

...this episode brought back memories of reading 'The Complete Holmes' or some such title. Sherlock Holmes slammed cocaine! We all know about the opium dens however, one must read between the lines here. But I distinctly recall reading precisely that while stationed in the U. K.. 🎉

[@WWH_develoments]

I finally get why people enjoyed to listen to the radio as if it were alike televised content.

[@noneofyourbusiness9369]

We did enjoy this. It wasn't what we expected. Thank you.

[@gwh123]

Terrific production ... exceptional voice actors & director

[@bradley1128]

Ahhhhhh.....nighty night from Alberta Canada 🇨🇦. 🙏.

[@princerupert6161]

The Doctor Cream in this play was a real person. I had only read about him a couple of days before. It made listening so much more enjoyable knowing it was based on fact. And yes, he was cross eyed! Excellent play. Thank you.

[@devonseamoor]

Well done, from the good old days of BBC audio play, where attention was paid to detail and a natural flow of conversation and background noises. 👍👋🧙‍♀️

[@delo9725]

Love this radio show, can't wait to hear more to come!!!!

[@jdsteppenzyde]

The real Cream was an absolute nut bag, not very smart but more lucky.

[@GingerTomMom]

Great fun. Thank you.

[@Alices.last.warning]

Is this based on the Adele Bartlett case? (I havn't watched yet)

[@chamberashes3128]

(possible spoilers) This is the first time I've heard a story where Sherlock Holmes truly lost. Even "THE Woman" didn't impressively win as well as this mad man. I hope to hear the next time Sherlock attempts wi catch this fiend. Lastly, I was very disappointed how the poisoner was caught. It was cheap and lacked brilliance. If it had ended with Holmes being victorious this would have gone down as the worst Sherlock Holmes story ever writen. I'm off to binge every video on this Chanel

[@Querencia7779]

Thank you!❤

[@tonybutcher8141]

I love all of these stories always make a couple of hours to listen.thank you so much.😊😊👍.

[@sleepychamaeleon]

It’s quickly apparent this was not written by A C Doyle! I think I would file this under ‘fan fiction’. But thanks for posting it.

[@huggybear8443]

Is there a part 2?

[@NoosaHeads]

Basil Rathbone and Jeremy Brett were my favourite Sherlock Holmes actors. William Chubb doesn't quite sound convincing enough. He seems the sort of actor that would be good in a comedy or possibly a soap opera). I've read every Holmes book (and also concordances of the stories). I have a pretty good idea how Conan Doyle envisaged his character.

[@Aria-wl2ve]

Don’t agree.

[@joboodley7927]

Jeremy Brett and Basil Rathbone were the best, but I thoroughly enjoyed this, the whole cast was excellent! As bedtime listening goes, it was entertaining! 😊❤

[@kevinw712]

even tho I'm not sure the guy playing Holmes would be really all that great in any role, as far as vocal style/tone/etc, the Holmes voice here is clearly more suited for the Watson character, and vice versa

[@NoosaHeads]

@@kevinw712 I quite agree. Vice-versa.

[@eddiemunster2196]

As I look at you and your family, all of you look so so, happy !!! What a great picture of you and yours, family !!! Cheers.. !!

TOO MUCH MUSIC

[@buckchesterfield8886]

This is not great. Could be worse though.

[@vitalitysupps9061]

Terrible story. Made Holmes look stupid. Real Sherlock would have finished the job and had not been so stupid to miss so many clues. Poor substitute

[@granthurlburt4062]

I may be wrong but it seems to me that the BBC likes to tear down even fictional characters who are intelligent and competent than most because it"s "elitist" in their view.

[@marciasrivastava4861]

Sherlock Holmes didnt have that kind of conscience.🙄😮‍💨

A shrewd comment, and accurate.
