Tonight Jeffrey Billard, Lothar Tuppan, and Jack meet to talk about another of the Amigo’s favourite shows- The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and The Speckled Band!
The Amigos talk about the various incarnations of Sherlock and Watson and how incredible the team of Rathbone and Bruce were through this, one of the most popular Old Time Radio incarnations.
I really enjoyed the show.. All of you mentioned Nigel Bruce’s portrayal of Watson. It always bothered Bruce that he could not play Watson as Doyle had written him. This was the will of Hollywood. They were Side-Kick Happy. While Nigel is not the Canonical Watson, he certainly is the most lovable Watson. He is the Watson I want to sit with before a crackling fire with a glass of Petri Wine !
