–which, on the SDMB is almost everybody…TOM BAKER IS BACK!

Our beloved Fourth Doctor (all scarf, teeth & curls) will play Sherlock Holmes in an audiodrama!

The worlds of Doctor Who and Sherlock Holmes continue to collide, with Fourth Doctor star Tom Baker set to play Holmes in a new audio drama.

The audio drama, titled Sir Sherlock: The Red Letter Day, will be released in March 2026, and will see the former consulting detective finally accept a knighthood in 1924.

“Having lived the quiet life on the Sussex Downs, Holmes is drawn back to London, where, joined by his friend Doctor John Watson, they are both embroiled in a new murder investigation,” the synopsis says.

This will actually be the third time Baker will play the iconic detective, having previously done so in the BBC’s on-screen adaptation of The Hound of the Baskervilles, and on stage in 1985’s The Mask of Moriarty.

Note th novel & CD edition–get one SOON! Kickstarter ends quick!

If it’s just voice work, then it will remind me of the narrator on Little Britain rather than Doctor Who.
“And so we conclude our journey around Little Britain. Tonight’s program has ended a little sooner than usual because I need to do a poo now. Good Bye Bye!”
