The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes presents “Colonel Warburton’s Madness,” episode 183, originally broadcast September 10, 1945. This local archival recording stars Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson.
While Watson and Mary holiday in the Thames-side village of Taplow, they meet a young woman worried that her uncle, Colonel Warburton, is losing his reason. A strange whistle, disturbing incidents at the forbidding Chevy Grange estate, and a plea for Holmes’s help lead to an original Denis Green and Anthony Boucher mystery inspired by an incident mentioned in Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Adventure of the Engineer’s Thumb.”
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
