Stories of Sherlock Holmes ran on South African 'Springbok Radio' in the early 1980's. It starred Graham Armitage as Sherlock and Kerry Jordan as Watson. Watson is no longer the bumbling mumbling Watson of Nigel Bruce. The stories do not attempt to stick to the original Conan Doyle canon.

info_outlineTwo great episodes of The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes starring Nigel Bruce and Basil RathboneIn the radio series The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, these episodes aired during the mid-1940s and reflect the show's blend of original scripts and classic adaptations.
The Fifth of November
Original Air Date: November 5, 1945
This episode, also known as "The Gunpowder Plot", was written by Anthony Boucher and originally broadcast on Guy Fawkes Day.
The Client: A man named James Stuart visits Baker Street, fearing his cousin, Guy Falkenberry, plans to murder him by blowing him up.
The Plot: The case is steeped in the history of the 1605 Gunpowder Plot. Stuart is a descendant of the royal family targeted by the original plot, and the modern threat seems to be a symbolic reenactment.
The Mystery: Holmes must determine if the threat is a genuine terrorist plot or a personal vendetta masked by historical pageantry. The episode is noted for being an original story inspired by elements of the Conan Doyle story "The Adventure of the Devil's Foot".
The Speckled Band
Original Air Date: November 12, 1945
This episode is a faithful radio adaptation of one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous locked-room mysteries.
The Client: Helen Stoner seeks Holmes's help after being forced to move into the bedroom where her sister, Julia, died under mysterious circumstances two years prior.
The Clues: Julia’s dying words were "the speckled band". Holmes discovers several anomalies in the room: a bed bolted to the floor, a dummy bell-rope, and a ventilator that leads to the room of their violent stepfather, Dr. Grimesby Roylott.
The Resolution: During a night vigil, Holmes discovers the "band" is a venomous swamp adder. Roylott had been sending the snake through the ventilator to murder his stepdaughters to prevent them from marrying and taking their inheritance. Holmes strikes the snake, driving it back through the vent where it kills Roylott instead.
