You can hear the show (The Problem of Pennington Flash) here:

Mary: "Goodnight Mr. Holmes. Good luck for tomorrow."
[door closes]
Watson: "I'll be going too, remember?"
Mary: "Yes dear, but it's Mr. Holmes who'll need all the luck, isn't it?"
Watson: "You know Mary, it is just possible that I might solve this crime before Holmes does."
Mary: "Of course it is dear. Make sure you keep your hat on outdoors."
Holmes: "You are much too hard on yourself Watson. You underestimate your own excellent qualities."
Watson: "Such as?"
Holmes: "Well, you have a splendid lack of imagination."
Watson: "Oh, thank you, Holmes, that's a compliment I'll always treaure."
(Holmes does redeem himself by then saying, "The fact that there are still people such as you in this world gives me hope for mankind.")
The show seemed quite like the old Rathbone/Bruce series in tone (except for the fact that Watson wasn't bumbling about in that peculiar Bruce-ian manner). This effect was heightened by the fact that the actor playing Holmes sounds quite a bit like Rathbone himself!
It's worth a listen, but it does make one that much more excited for the upcoming BBC series, to hear the "real" Holmes and Watson.
