Sherlock Holmes "Empty House" 1 - Ralph Richardson, John Gielgud

[CharonTheSabercat]

Just as I was getting used to hearing it being pronounced "les-trahd", I hear "les-strade" again and it makes me feel better.

Pardon my ignorance, but was this an American or British series?

@CharonTheSabercat Gielguld and Ralph Richardson were English , so I suppose they recodred it at the BBC radio.

I adore their voices and accents .

@CharonTheSabercat wikipedia : "John Gielgud played Holmes for BBC radio in the 1950s, with Ralph Richardson as Watson. Gielgud's brother, Val Gielgud, appeared in one of the episodes, perhaps inevitably, as Mycroft Holmes. As this series was co-produced by the American Broadcasting Company, known American actors also appeared, such as Orson Welles as Professor Moriarty in The Adventure of the Final Problem."
