Summary of The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes Volume 1

Sherlock, played by John Gilbert and later by John Patrick Lowrie, is depicted faithfully as to age and disposition. And Dr. John H. Watson, played by Lawrence Albert isnt the Hollywood version of a bumbling old fogey here; hes a brave and devoted friend whose help Holmes couldnt do without. And while Frenchs scripts are pastiches, they contain the flavor of the Doyle canon, brought to life with loving care in acting and production values. The BBC saw fit to broadcast part of one of Frenchs episodes, exclaiming their surprise to find that the actors were all Americans! And the stories were all new! The BBC host called the show,

One of the four best radio dramas in the English language!

The Greatest of Them All: Sherlock Holmes, the name conjures pictures of gas-lit streets and dark mysteries from a bygone age. Along with his trusted friend Dr. John H. Watson, Holmes is without doubt the most famous sleuth the world has ever known with countless literary works, stage plays, films, television and radio programs all centering around this icon and spanning over 117 years. And now, with full authorization from the estate of Dame Jean Conan Doyle, daughter of Holmes creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Jim French Productions brings you 4 episodes from our long running dramatic radio series starring John Patrick Lowrie and John Gilbert as Holmes with Lawrence Albert as Dr. Watson.
