I entirely agree on HOUN -- the story must be cursed; nobody can seem to make a proper adaptation of it no matter how hard they try. But I will say this; when I heard the first episode, I was disappointed, but when I heard the second my faith in Bert Coules was renewed. There was a stumble but he picked it right back up! I'm trying to remember how they recorded the series; HOUN may actually have been one of the first stories the adapted, although I may just be confusing it with the Roger Rees version.
Streambox, eh...? *makes note* I've got a mac, so iTunes seems to take just about anything it can play and record it in a CD playable version if you want. I apologise for mentioning iTunes, because it is lame, but still, it had to be done.
The first series of Further Adventures has one of my favourite episodes EVER -- Holmes as a very young man before he's definitely decided on detection, back when he is hanging about the Reading Room at the British Museum all the time and reading everything he can -- Tom Baker plays a librarian who is a semi-mentor to him! So good.
If you'd like to do a bit of episode swapping, that would be neat. Tell me which episodes you missed from His Last Bow -- I should have them all.
And yes; Williams and Merrison are the embodiments of goodness. It really can't be said too many times (to me, at least).
