Clive Merrison is truly the voice of Holmes
What about Clive Merrison and Michael Williams ’s performance did you like?
Merrison is the perfect Sherlock Holmes, in my view. He is the voice of Holmes when I think of the character or when I read anything relating to the sleuth.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
You could do that, I guess, but I rather enjoy listening to the audio plays in a piecemeal fashion.

Best radio dramatization
Except reading the actual stories and Jeremy Brett's portrayal of Holmes, these BBC dramatizations featuring Merrison and Williams are the best adaptations of the Sherlock Holmes stories.
Brett, I think, is the gold standard.
Jeremy Brett was Sherlock Holmes.
But, Merrison and Williams were outstanding.
These productions are the benchmark of Holmes adaptations on radio.
The passage of time makes them better.

Excellent Production. Poor Quality Audiobook.
I won't lie. It's amazing content. But - tiny bone of contention: You BBC bozos had three jobs - MAX!
1. DIGITIZE ORIGINAL RECORDING
2. DIVIDE INTO SMALLER SEGMENTS
3. oh and one more... NAME THESE SEGMENTS!!!!!
Thankfully the order in which they are listed in the description matches the order of the tracks:
1. 'Silver Blaze';
2. 'The Yellow Face'; '
3. The Stockbroker's Clerk';
4. 'The 'Gloria Scott''; '
5. The Musgrave Ritual';
6.'The Reigate Squires'; '

Best Holmes there is, bar none.
I've long been a fan of Clive Merrison's Sherlock Holmes. Merrison performed every story in the canon of Sherlock Holmes for the BBC, and are in my opinion unsurpassed. Up until now I've had to wait for repeats to be aired on Radio 4, so finding them on audible was amazing. I urge any serious Sherlock Holmes fan not to overlook these plays for more recent readings or TV programmes. These are classic Sherlock at its best.

Simply wonderful production and performances from all concerned. The pairing of Merrison and Williams was a stroke of genius as both complement each other wonderfully well as Holmes and Watson respectfully. The production values are first class as one would expect from BBC radio of the day. The stories draw you in to such an extent that you begin to visualise the images in the minds eye as the scenes play out through the spoken word and accompanying sound effects. Cannot fault it.
