THE DOCTOR, THE DETECTIVE AND ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE

Posted by Magersfontein on June 26, 2012 at 5:45pm

Martin Booth's biography of Arthur Conan Doyle was published in 1997. An abridged version in five parts, read by Michael Williams, was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 from 11 to 15 January 1999.

Thanks to Jake for reminding me about this excellent reading.

    I'm not usually a fab of BBC abridgments, but this one is well done.

    Thanks, Roger!

    I've no idea why my original link here didn't work, but the link at this entry definitely does work. It will take you to my SkyDrive Times Past store: https://timespast.ning.com/group/thedefinitivesherlockholmes/forum/t...

      Thanks for filling my request Roger.

      The first I heard of this was a few days ago on the web site Suttons Elms. Also known as Diversity and UK online once. I was searching for something else.

      It's a long list but this book reading is just third from the top.

      Looking forward to hearing Michael Williams.

      Radio listings has an entry for this. It seems the earliest broadcast could of been 29 and 30 June and 1-3 July 1998. I'm a little confused by some of the dates though.

      It's a long time ago now, but I think I recorded it in 1999 - presumably a repeat transmission.
