The Listeners - Sherlock Holmes: Holmes and the Ripper
Month four of The Listeners, and our opportunity to discover or revisit a classic audio and discuss it heads for the Sherlock Holmes range, with a chance to hear Holmes and the Ripper.
Executive producer and portrayer of Holmes Nicholas Briggs has this to say about the story: 'Holmes and the Ripper was originally a stage play I was in, some years ago. It's by Brian Clemens [The Avengers] and playing Holmes in it on stage was a fantastic experience. Brian actually came to see the production and was very pleased with what he saw, so I spoke to him about doing a possible audio adaptation. He's a very generous chap and was very keen to do it. So this and two other Holmes stageplays enabled me to get our Holmes range off the ground. I handled the audio adaptation, but very little work needed to be done, because Brian is such a great writer.'
You can get hold of the download for only £2.99 this month, and while this newer release didn't require an audio upgrade, it does now have an audiobook option.
