1001 Sherlock Holmes Stories & The Best of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce take us on another great Sherlock Holmes Adventure sponsored by Petri Wines. "The Great Gandolfo" is an episode of The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes radio series, which aired on October 22, 1945, starring Basil Rathbone as Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson. It was written by Anthony Boucher and Denis Green, and while not an original Arthur Conan Doyle story, it was inspired by "The Adventure of the Second Stain" (1904). 
Summary:
The Setup: The episode, sponsored by Petri Wine, begins with Dr. Watson sharing a tale of a case involving a "great" figure, though not in the way one might expect.
The Case: Holmes and Watson are involved in a mystery centered on a character named "The Great Gandolfo".
Plotline: The narrative involves a tense situation revolving around a missing item, drawing thematic inspiration from "The Adventure of the Second Stain," where a missing document threatens national security. The plot, characteristic of the series, is fast-paced, involving wit and, at times, more humorous elements than the original canon.
Context: The show was a popular wartime radio drama, featuring the classic duo of a high-strung Holmes and a genial Watson, with original narrations and commercials. 
The episode is part of the 6th season of the series' run on the Mutual Network.

Holmes and Watson come to the aid of an old war buddy of Watson's who is haunted by visions of the past.The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a series of radio dramas based on Arthur Conan Doyle's detective Sherlock Holmes. Written by Bert Coules as a pastiche of Doyle's work, the series was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 2002, 2004, 2008–2009 and 2010. There are sixteen episodes, all of them produced and directed by Patrick Rayner of BBC Scotland. Clive Merrison stars as Holmes, having portrayed the detective in a 1989–1998 BBC radio series of dramatisations of every Sherlock Holmes story by Doyle (the first actor to do so). Andrew Sachs appears as Dr. Watson, replacing Michael Williams after Williams died following the Radio 4 run of Sherlock Holmes adaptations. Each of the stories is based on a throwaway reference from an actual Doyle short story or novel.

It was collected in Doyle's Round the Fire Stories (1908) and Tales of Terror and Mystery (1922). The story concerns the appearance of a dead man in a railway carriage, with six pocket watches in his jacket.

THE CABMAN'S STORY
"The Cabman's Story" is a short crime fiction story by Arthur Conan Doyle, first published anonymously in Cassell's Saturday Journal on May 17, 1884. The narrative serves as a frame for an old, experienced London cabman to share a series of grim and mysterious encounters he has had during his long career as a "growler" (four-wheeler cab) driver. 
Summary of the Stories
The story is a collection of three vignettes related by the cabman to a fare:
The Dead Passenger: The cabman's first account involves two well-dressed women who flag him down late at night and ask him to transport a man they claim is heavily intoxicated to an address in Clapham. The fare is paid in advance with a sovereign. Upon arrival, the cabman and a servant discover the man is not drunk, but in fact already dead, a victim of willful murder with all identifying items removed from his pockets. An inquest later confirms he was dead when placed in the cab.
The Forger: The second anecdote describes a little, bespectacled man who becomes a regular customer, hiring the cab for three hours daily for apparently aimless rides around London. The cabman becomes suspicious due to the man's large black bag and his insistence on closed windows. The police eventually arrest the passenger, revealing he was a forger using the moving, closed cab as a mobile and private workshop to print Bank of England notes undetected.
The Dynamiter: The final, brief story concerns a stout, sailor-like man the cabman drove to the docks who was carrying a hollowed-out "coal torpedo" filled with dynamite. The cabman observed the device through a small window he had installed in his cab after the forger incident. He later reports this to the police after hearing news of a ship explosion, but they are unable to trace the man
