  • Looking for something else I came across the original posting of this.

    https://timespast.ning.com/group/thedefinitivesherlockholmes/forum/t...

     

    As well as doing a search I went through all the discussions trying to find it before posting!

    I've never used it before but I've noticed an orange 'X' in the top right of my posts. Will it delete my post Rick / Katy?

    If it's already here then my upload is just wasting space on Times Past servers and I might as well delete it.

     

     

    • There you are Jake. I thanked Roadcone so your conscience is clear.  I apologize to everyone else for wiping out your replies to do so.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Rick

    Oh why don't the BBC do stuff like this anymore?

    'Mind Theater'? - I take it that means spoken word?
    I believe I have the film of this in my collection as well.
    I didn't notice this was missing. Maybe I mixed it up with The Singular Affair (which has already been uploaded).

    I thought I'd add mine for comparison.
    It's stereo, the 3 parter is mono, all in one file and has the announcer at the start presenting it as a Saturday Night Theatre production and a Gold Dagger Award winner in 1975. (all in that, once compulsory, auntie beeb home counties 'accent')

      There is another 128K encode of this play on here by  Mplshowie posted in 2010 with the same picture that he found in an obscure site.  You need not delete your post because I am going to add to it.  Howie's post is here:

  • The genius of Conan Doyle precipitated numerous pastiches of varying quality --"The 7% Solution," by Nicholas Meyer, is among the VERY BEST of them! This three-part radio play skillfully reweaves the original excellent novel into an amazing and fast paced "listen." For those who grew up with Holmes as a childhood hero, then later learned that our hero was an addict, this story convincingly shows how the Master found redemption and reclamation while collaborating with one of the foremost minds of the early 20th Century and stalled the "Great War" (WWI) another decade. Meyer's audacious and original story is adapted powerfully for "Mind Theater," coupled with brilliant acting and compelling direction.

    Do not miss this experience --it is among the best of the "Definitive Sherlock Holmes Discussions on Times Past!
