Sir Henry Baskerville is bequeathed an eerie estate on the moors which has a legend attached to it of a mysterious hound. At first this is dismissed as nonsense, but when a murder occurs Sir Henry wisely sends for the omnisient Holmes.

The setting of the moors provides a mysterious and gloomy background for Conan Doyle’s novel and it takes all of Sherlock Holmes’ powers of reasoning to work out what lies behind the mysterious legend.

Clive Merrison stars as Holmes with Michael Williams as Watson in this adventure, part of the unique fully dramatised BBC canon of Conan Doyle's short stories and novels featuring the world-famous sleuth.
