by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
dramatised by Constance Cox
directed by David Johnston
BBC Radio 4
Classic Serial
4 x ≈60 minutes
March 27, April 3, 10 & 17. 1983
The descriptions below for episodes 1 and 4 come from the Radio Times magazine via BBC's Genome Project. They appear to be missing the two issues for the two weeks when episodes 2 and 3 were broadcast.
The character Anson Stone was due to be played by Peter Woodthorpe however for some reason he had to be replaced for episode 1.
I made the credits lists for episodes 2 and 3 by ear, listening to them being read out at the end of the episodes. There may be some spelling mistakes in the actors names.

Jim Harrison has mysteriously disappeared before his big fight with Jem Belcher, and it seems a woman might be involved.
