Doctor Who's Colin Baker and Terry Molloy team for Sherlock Holmes play
The pair are reuniting for another tour of The Hound of the Baskervilles.
Former Doctor Who stars Colin Baker and Terry Molloy are reuniting for a new tour of their stage adaptation of iconic Sherlock Holmes story The Hound of the Baskervilles.
Billed as a "radio-play-on-stage" the production previously toured the country last year and will now be returning to theatres from March 2024.
The play sees the two actors – who starred as the Sixth Doctor and Davros respectively in the mid '80s – reprise their roles as the famous Baker Street sleuth and his trusty accomplice as they solve the famous case on the moors.
Speaking about the new run, adaptor and director Martin Parsons said: "We originally staged this brand new adaptation of The Hound of the Baskervilles in 2022 to commemorate the 120th anniversary of its publication.

"But such was the popularity of the tour with audiences that we’re delighted to be returning to theatres in 2024. The key to its success was the pitch-perfect performances of Colin Baker and Terry Molloy in their portrayals of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson.
"We’re in for another treat and I’m thrilled to be able to bring two such fine actors together again on stage in these iconic roles."
Parsons also stars in the show as Jack Stapleton, while Kate Ashmead takes on the role of Mrs Barrymore and Dee Sadler plays Doctor Mortimer.
The setting for the production is a radio studio, with the actors performing as if for a radio broadcast and the sound effects all created live on stage.
