| SECOND HOLMES was a series of six shows brought to radio by the | ||||
| British Broadcasting Corporation in early 1983. These were humorous | ||||
| cases of detective Stamford Holmes, the grandson of Sherlock Holmes (???), | ||||
| played by Peter Egan and his counterpart, Dr. Watson, the grandson | ||||
| of Sherlock Holmes's companion, played by Jeremy Nicholas. | ||||
| Stamford Holmes is a reluctant consulting detective in a modern age | ||||
| where the crimes are mundane, not offering challenge. Although he | ||||
| has his grandfather's ability to see detail and use them to arrive | ||||
| at conclusions, he gets quickly bored by his cases. Were it not for | ||||
| Dr. Watson pushing and prodding him, Holmes would be off on some other | ||||
| enterprise. Watson is more the romantic, longing to participate in | ||||
| detective adventures of the days of grandfather, believing the cases | ||||
| at hand will prove Holmes' worth. | ||||
