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.

 THE CABMAN'S STORY

"The Cabman's Story" is a short crime fiction story by Arthur Conan Doyle, first published anonymously in Cassell's Saturday Journal on May 17, 1884. The narrative serves as a frame for an old, experienced London cabman to share a series of grim and mysterious encounters he has had during his long career as a "growler" (four-wheeler cab) driver. 
Summary of the Stories
The story is a collection of three vignettes related by the cabman to a fare:
The Dead Passenger: The cabman's first account involves two well-dressed women who flag him down late at night and ask him to transport a man they claim is heavily intoxicated to an address in Clapham. The fare is paid in advance with a sovereign. Upon arrival, the cabman and a servant discover the man is not drunk, but in fact already dead, a victim of willful murder with all identifying items removed from his pockets. An inquest later confirms he was dead when placed in the cab.
The Forger: The second anecdote describes a little, bespectacled man who becomes a regular customer, hiring the cab for three hours daily for apparently aimless rides around London. The cabman becomes suspicious due to the man's large black bag and his insistence on closed windows. The police eventually arrest the passenger, revealing he was a forger using the moving, closed cab as a mobile and private workshop to print Bank of England notes undetected.
The Dynamiter: The final, brief story concerns a stout, sailor-like man the cabman drove to the docks who was carrying a hollowed-out "coal torpedo" filled with dynamite. The cabman observed the device through a small window he had installed in his cab after the forger incident. He later reports this to the police after hearing news of a ship explosion, but they are unable to trace the man
