Former Doctor Who<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

Billed as a \u201cradio-play-on-stage\u201d the production previously toured the country last year and will now be returning to theatres from March 2024.<\/p>\n

The play sees the two actors \u2013 who starred as the Sixth Doctor and Davros respectively in the mid \u201980s \u2013 reprise their roles as the famous Baker Street sleuth and his trusty accomplice as they solve the famous case on the moors.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the new run, adaptor and director Martin Parsons said: \u201cWe originally staged this brand new adaptation of The Hound of the Baskervilles in 2022 to commemorate the 120th anniversary of its publication.<\/p>

\u201cBut such was the popularity of the tour with audiences that we\u2019re 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re in for another treat and I\u2019m thrilled to be able to bring two such fine actors together again on stage in these iconic roles.\u201d<\/p>\n
