In this intriguing episode, we delve into the world of classic radio dramas, exploring the impact of the radio series "The Avengers" in South Africa, a country without national television until 1976. The episode highlights how the series, which captivated audiences in Britain and America, found a unique way to reach South African listeners through film rentals. We also take a nostalgic journey with the Petri family, known for their fine wines, as they invite listeners to enjoy the adventures of Sherlock Holmes, masterfully portrayed by Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. The episode paints a vivid picture of the era, with a delightful blend of mystery and classic storytelling.
We then transition into a gripping Sherlock Holmes adventure, set in the autumn of 1903, just before Holmes' retirement to Sussex. The story unfolds with the mysterious disappearance of Professor Boulard and his assistants, all linked to the rare and valuable element radium. As Holmes and Watson investigate, they uncover a tale of scientific ambition, murder, and deception. The episode captures the essence of Holmes' deductive prowess as he unravels the mystery, leading to a surprising conclusion. This classic tale is a testament to the enduring appeal of Sherlock Holmes and the timeless allure of radio dramas.
