Sherlock Holmes detective stories appeared on radio for more than 25 years, from 1933 to 1955, with a long list of performers playing the parts of Holmes and Dr. Watson. At first Conan Doyles' original stories were used and after the original adventures had been exhausted, new stories were created by Edith Meiser, who was praised by Conan Doyle's widow and son. Join Holmes and Watson and crack the case!
