Polish Dragon P I Show Episode 76

Welcome to episode 76 of The Polish Dragon P. I. Show. This episode features The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes in Flanders Field. The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes was an old-time radio show that aired in the USA from October 2, 1939, to July 7, 1947. Originally, the show starred Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson. Together, they starred in 220 episodes which aired weekly on Mondays from 8:30 to 9:00 pm. Bromo Quinine sponsored some of the earlier programs on the NBC Blue Network and for a period Parker Pen was the sponsor.
The show first aired on the Blue Network but later moved to the Mutual Broadcasting System. With Rathbone and Bruce, the show exhibited an interesting introduction. The sponsor's spokesman would show up weekly at Dr. Watson's house (then retired and living in California), and share a story about Sherlock Holmes and his adventures over a glass of Petri wine. This offered them the chance to sometimes bring in other characters to contribute to the story and also gave Watson a chance to summarize or add additional tidbits at the end. Another interesting thing about this radio show's introductions was Watson's anecdotes and comments about his dogs usually referred to as the "Puppies".
