Dramatised in two parts by Bert Coules
With Roger Rees as Sherlock Holmes, Crawford Logan as Dr John Watson and Matt Zimmerman as Sir Henry Baskerville
The eerie landscape of Dartmoor conceals many secrets; but can it really be possible that the legendary hound of hell still walks by night, bringing death to all who bear the ancient name of Baskerville? Sherlock Holmes is too busy to investigate - but John Watson is not.

Radio 4 is Going to the Dogs to meet the men and women who either have fun or make money, and sometimes if they're lucky both, at one of the nation's greyhound stadiums.
For some it's for excitement and entertainment; for others it's their livelihood; to many it's simply the thrill of owning and racing a pet.

Art and Seoul
South Korea is a traditional country plunged suddenly into the 20th century. Ancient arts and crafts rub up against the ultra-modern. Christopher Cook explores the Korean culture clash to discover the national character preserved within, just a couple of months before the eyes of the world focus on Seoul for the Olympic Games.
