Product Description
The classic and terrifying story of The Hound of the Baskervilles is hilariously rewritten according to Spike Milligan. Sherlock Holmes and his trusty companion, Dr Watson, are working together once more to solve the mystery at Baskerville Hall. This time, however, there's something fishy about the hound, a woman cries in the night, Guinness and Newcastle Brown are taken intravenously and the Berlin Philharmonic keep running out of things to play. 'But why keep me in the dark, Holmes?' 'It saves electricity, Watson.'
