NOTE: Unfortunately many of these files in this upload were apparently corrupted during upload. I have created a new upload here : ( I apologize for the inconvenience. This upload contains 52 episodes of the Old Time Radio program, The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The show, which aired from 1939-1946, starred the great Basil Rathbone as Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson. The dates, episode numbers and titles are believed to be correct based on available information, but any corrections are welcome. Disclaimer: By uploading these files, I make no claim to ownership or copyright. These recordings have been acquired from publicly available sources on the Internet, and my goal has been to put together a collection of every available episode where possible. I will add to these collections if I discover new episodes or if any new episodes become available. Digitised by the Old Time Radio Researchers and streamed from the Internet Archive item “sherlock-holmes-1939-11-06-6-the-bruce-partington-plans”; these recordings are in the public domain.
