The Hound Of The Baskervilles [Drama On 3]

`Standing over Hugo Baskerville, and plucking at his throat, there stood a foul thing, a great, black beast, shaped like a hound, yet larger than any hound that ever mortal eye has rested upon.??

A desolate house on the moors, an escaped murderer, and a bloodthirsty supernatural beast - Conan Doyle's best-selling mystery has all the ingredients of a classic thriller. Following the success of his adaptations of A Christmas Carol and The Wind in the Willows, the dramatist , composer and long-term collaborator with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Neil Brand has crafted a chilling, gripping and hair-raising version of this favourite tale.

Mark Gatiss stars as Sherlock Holmes with Sanjeev Bhaskar as Dr Watson.
