I have enjoyed reading your blog a great deal. Anyway, I have some experience with the John Gielgud and Ralph Richardson series, and I rather unfairly neglected them in this current post - I left out some others too, so coming soon will be my addition to this post.<br /><br />I did enjoy "The Perfidious Mariner" and I reviewed it a while back. It was not my favourite Big Finish release - that reward has to go to "The Tangled Skein." I'm perhaps somewhat biased having loved the novel, and I just thought it was so well executed.

If you have ever listened to the Lux Theater Radio adaptations of movies, their constant interruptions are horrible. Plus, it takes ages for the actual radio play to begin. So, I can live with a few words from Petri Wine instead.

Of the Briggs entries from the ever excellent Big Finish productions, the one I thoguht worked the best so far was the most recent, 'The Adventure of the Perfidious Mariner', which has Holmes and Watson in their later years at the time of the Titanic sinking. The good news is that the author of that one, Jonathan Barnes, is also going to be responsible for the upcoming 'odeal' series, so personally am really looking forward to it.<br /><br />SergioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529327841739785142.post-64580664300222308242013-02-25T19:07:14.836-08:002013-02-25T19:07:14.836-08:00I actually really like the Petri Wine ads.

I also like how the ads were turned into a running joke.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01844617192737950378noreply@blogger.com
