In Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's original stories, Dr Watson drops tantalising hints about other cases of the great detective. Here we attempt to reconstruct two of these unpublished exploits.

 

In "The Long Man", while Holmes investigates an insurance fraud a brilliant police detective pursues a Macedonian gun-runner. Then an inoffensive archaeologist is murdered... Rafe McGregor's story is dramatised by M J Elliott.

 

"The Grace Chalice" tells how Sherlock Holmes solves the mysterious theft of a priceless mediaeval cup. Roger Johnson has adapted his own story.

 

JIM CROZIER and DAVE HAWKES return as Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson, with JESSE POWIS, M J ELLIOTT, VINCE WEBB, MARK PRESTON, BRIAN ADRIAN and DANNY SEGETH.

 

The plays were recorded by David Booth and John Rhodes at Pig Pen Studio for Hosiprog Productions. The producer was Roger Johnson.

  • Thank you, Roger!  Always glad to see more of the Old Court / SHS productions!
  • Great stuff Roger. I'm sitting here uploading to the Holmes group and saw these pop up along the right hand side under latest activity. The Lost World will have to remain lost a bit longer whilst I listen to these.
