These stories by Bert Cools are as good as Conan Doyles! Thank you very much!

It's 3 years since I've had a TV. Why would I bother with entertainment like this. I put my feet up and crochet for hours. 😁

[peterfreeman]

Geoffrey Whitehead *and* Stephen Thorne. Now that's class.

[ebonyjefferson]

I am so thankful for these uploads! I mean seriously i never go a night without putting these on when I'm going to bed😊
It's like i can't go to sleep without listening 🎧 period!
How there is more to come❤

[ronostick]

Absolutely spot-on for my late-night listen. Thank you "TSRH",

[patriciaramsey]

What an interesting woman. she and Holmes make a good team.

[judikingsman]

Oh the voice of Maggie Steed. Exquisite ☺️💕

[stewartlancaster]

Geoffrey Whitehead appears in every radio drama and comedy made by the BBC since the late 1970s up to the present day, a remarkable canon of work by a fine actor.

TY! Hope there's more. Good times! 😉👏💝

"Oh wipe that look off your face Inspector, this isn't the 18th Century."

First transmitted on 15 June 2004, this story is based on a reference from Doyle's novel The Hound of the Baskervilles:
"Since the tragic upshot of our visit to Devonshire [Holmes] had been engaged in two affairs of the utmost importance, in the first of which he had exposed the atrocious conduct of Colonel Upwood in connection with the famous card scandal of the Nonpareil Club."

A body in Hyde Park and a potential scandal at an exclusive gambling club bring Holmes back into contact with a beguiling but most notorious former client.

I'm so glad Holmes enjoyed _The Pirates of Penzance._ 🏴‍☠

[ronostick]

Whoops! I meant thank you to "TSHRS".

[TedaR]

Me again. When she delivers the first few lines I suspect Maggie Steed of playing Frannie as a man who is playing at being a woman, every single time. TBH It's only when i realise that the character "Frannie" was written as female & not she-male that I even remember it is Maggie Steed.
