The Hound of the Baskervilles
Drama on 3
“Standing over Hugo Baskerville, and plucking at his throat, there stood a foul thing, a great, black beast, shaped like a hound, yet larger than any hound that ever mortal eye has rested upon.”
A desolate house on the moors, an escaped murderer, and a bloodthirsty supernatural beast – Conan Doyle’s best-selling mystery has all the ingredients of a classic thriller. Following the success of his adaptations of A Christmas Carol and The Wind in the Willows, the dramatist , composer and long-term collaborator with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Neil Brand has crafted a chilling, gripping and hair-raising version of this favourite tale.
Mark Gatiss stars as Sherlock Holmes with Sanjeev Bhaskar as Dr Watson.
Recorded at the Barbican Hall, London on December 20th 2022.

Thanks Mike.
I usually do a search for "Sherlock Holmes" about once a month on the BBC website. My searches haven't thrown up this though.
Thank you very much, William!

I have to confess I had forgotten that BBC Radio 3 does drama on a Sunday evening.
