Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson are called in when a couple die violently in a locked room - a case of murder-suicide?
Read by Christopher Harper. Produced by Justine Willett.

The descriptions above are taken from the BBC webpages for the two stories. The first link below takes you to an overview of all the BBC Sounds Classic Stories: Tales for Christmas episodes on the BBC website. There are 15 in all including MR James, Poe, Dickens. The second link takes you to my Onedrive folder with the two readings.
I'm not sure why the Sealed Room description says "Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson". It's not a Holmes and Watson story. It appeared in The Strand Magazine in September 1898 as "The Story of the Sealed Room".

    • The BBC's Classic Stories series includes 4 readings of MR James stories. These can be found at the link I made in the Horror group for my MR James collection. Look under BBC readings - MR James Classic Stories BBC Sounds WEB.

  • Thanks Jake.  The Beeb have altered the description of The Sealed Room - it now reads:

    After an accident in the street, solicitor John Albermarle meets a disturbed young man with a very strange inheritance. Read by Christopher Harper. Produced by Justine Willett.

  • Hurrah! Thanks very much for this too, Jake.

    Roger
