Edward Hardwicke is the voice of Dr Watson

Hearing the original stories of Sherlock Holmes read by the deep and warm tones of Edward Hardwicke - Dr Watson to Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes in the long -running TV series - has been a pleasure.. Thoroughly enjoyed these stories.

The best of the best of the best.

Sherlock Holmes, especially in the original canon, is arguably the definitive detective series yet devised for the thinking person. Of course other stories are also entertaining, but Holmes is superlative in the product of his meticulous cerebral underpinnings.

Edward Hardwicke is undoubtedly one of the greatest actors to embody Dr John Watson and, paired with Jeremy Brett, surely one of the most memorable. It was he, for instance, who brought Watson back from the doddery foolishness of the Nigel Bruce era to the intellectual standing which befits a Doctor of medicine. And as Holmes remarked of Watson in his representation of a British jury, for a narrator I cannot think of a better man.
