The Bruce Partington plans, superb radio play

Nigel and Basil from the early days (before Basil became bored and less articulate.)
Audio is very clear.
The ACD story deserves more time in its telling but the condensation is excellent.
(BromoQuinine adverts: it’s somehow ironic that mortality from Covid is definitely lower if taking Bromoquinine, now hard to obtain, compared to doing nothing. Unfortunate that organized medicine doesn’t value human life unless they profit along the way.)

Old time radio

Short interesting stories. A bit scritchy scratchy sound, but takes you back to a different time.
