For fourteen films and hundreds of radio episodes, Nigel Bruce brought the most famous sidekick in detective fiction to life. As Dr. John H. Watson, Bruce gave an avuncular charm and character to Sherlock Holmes’ friend and biographer. We’ll hear him co-starring with Basil Rathbone in “The Amateur Mendicant Society” (originally aired on Mutual on April 2, 1945); and with Tom Conway in “The Singular Affair of the Dying Schoolboys” (originally aired on ABC on November 9, 1946).
