Actor Hugh Bonneville is narrating a collection of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s greatest mysteries for BBC Sounds.
The new 16-part series of Sherlock Holmes, Short Stories from award winning podcasters Noiser includes capers such as ‘The Adventure of the Speckled Band’, ‘The Red-Headed League’, and ‘The Man with the Twisted Lip’.
They are brought to life with immersive sound design and bespoke music combining faithful readings of the original texts with atmospheric soundscapes, creating a cinematic yet intimate experience for listeners.
Hugh Bonneville says: “The Sherlock Holmes stories have been part of the literary landscape for generations, and I’m thrilled to be bringing them to life for listeners this Christmas season.
“The carefully curated tales in this series are superb examples of Conan Doyle’s craft as he draws his audience into the world of the legendary detective.
“From the smoke-filled sitting room at 221B Baker Street to the foggy streets of London, the windswept moors and beyond, we’ll follow the master detective as he uses his unique powers of deduction to unravel baffling mysteries, set against the backdrop of Victorian England.
“All the classic Holmesian elements are here: locked room conundrums, cunning disguises, and twisted conspiracies. Stories made for winter nights by the fire.”
The first episode of Sherlock Holmes, Short Stories is available on BBC Sounds now, with new episodes released every Thursday.
