I'm re-listening to Llewellyn's one-man Sherlock Holmes plays. They're pretty brilliant! Any love for these old goodies?

Any love for these old goodies? *waves hand* Much as I enjoy Briggsy's version of Holmes, I can't help but wonder what might have been if they'd bought Llewellyn back for Holmes and the Ripper and everything that followed.

Not heard these, but anything would be better than Briggs.

I didn't like Roger Llewellyn's two Sherlock Holmes BF audios, but he did have a great voice with the gravitas Sherlock Holmes needs. The Briggs and Earl audios are definitely the more enjoyable listen for me when it comes to Sherlock Holmes @ Big Finish.
Of course, nothing comes close to the outstanding Clive Merrison and Michael Williams BBC radio dramas when it comes to Sherlock Holmes on audio though.

I must admit I gave them a skip because I knew they don't count for the ongoing Briggs saga, which is what I'd wanted to follow along with.
Someday, perhaps....

There defiantly theatre monologues, I can see they work as a one man piece in a theatre. But on audio not so much, and the story feels dated And not really to my taste........
Good to have as a record of the performance, but not a favorite of mine

Good to have as a record of the performance, but not a favorite of mine I didn't enjoy Roger Llewellyn's two Sherlock Holmes BF releases as much as the Briggs and Earl releases, either. As muckypup said, Roger Llewellyn's work probably works better as a one man piece in a theatre.
I'm really enjoying the more traditional types of stories that Briggs and Earl did. Currently working my way through the range.
