Would you care to hazard a guess as to what they were given for breakfast?

I just listened to the last Sherlock Holmes story on BBC7 -- The Retired Colourman. In print, it hasn't that much to recommend it, but the Coules adaptation was one of the best episodes; funny, interesting, and incredibly poignant. If you care at all about Sherlock Holmes then you must listen to this episode!

It seemed as if The Lion's Mane, which aired a few days before, was just as good, but I haven't got the chance to listen to it properly as yet.

Also: I now have ALL 56 short story episodes RECORDED. Oh yes!! Now for the BBC to air the two hour novel adaptations... and of course Coules' own original Further Adventures (oh please do it BBC you know you want to).

Hello prof_pangaea,

If you don't mind, I can send you two novel-length adaptations that I've recorded from BBC 7, if you haven't listened to them before. They are Hound of the Baskervilles and Sign of Four.

Been listening to BBC 7 ever since you introduced it on 221b_bakerst. Thanks very much for informing us about the Burt Coules production and the existence of BBC 7. And yes, The Lion's Mane is terribly good and clever.
