Sherlock Holmes - the Final Problem
2.15pm R4 To commemorate the actor Michael Williams, who died in January, Radio 4 broadcasts his favourite story, in which, as always, he plays a splendid Dr Watson. It is an atypical Conan Doyle tale, for Holmes is the potential victim and the great detective's murder the likely outcome. The encounter between Holmes and Moriarty at Switzerland's Reichenbach Falls, which plunge into a tremendous and terrifying abyss, is genuinely awesome. Watson describes his friend after the event as "the best and wisest man whom I have ever known" and this drama is fitting tribute to one our best and finest actors.
