About this listen

The Stories of Sherlock Holmes was a South African radio drama that aired on Springbok Radio in Johannesburg. Produced by Michael Silver, the series consisted of 50 episodes, each running between 20 to 30 minutes. It featured Graham Armitage as Sherlock Holmes and Kerry Jordan as Dr. Watson. The show was broadcast on Sunday evenings at 6 PM, bringing classic Holmesian mysteries to South African audiences.

Springbok Radio was a major force in South African broadcasting from 1950 to 1985, and this adaptation of Sherlock Holmes added to its rich legacy of radio drama. While not as widely known as the BBC or American productions, it remains a fascinating piece of radio history.

Well done pastiche, true to the cannon & enjoyable. Wish there were more as I have listened multiple times to same episodes.

Excellent shorts for bedtime

I don’t think these were penned by ACD or, if they were, they haven’t been done on US radio. They’re new to me, done in 1940’s style with high quality audio but unimaginative plots

Well done radio stories, plots are thin

I have listened to a few of these so far. The stories are good, though I wish they were longer. Once you get into a story, it's over. The audio is ok, but sometimes it's hard to hear the dialog with all the sound effects and music that plays over it.

There are 2-4 commercials before each 20 min story, which is disruptive and annoying, especially since I pay for the Audible membership. In addition to the local commercials before each story, there were several old South African commercials embedded in the middle of some of the stories! Some of which were in a different language that I didn't recognize.

Decent short stories, but commercials
