The Avengers was most certainly not a household name in South Africa prior to the radio series.
4
00:00:25.724 --> 00:00:29.190
With no national television service until 1976,
5
00:00:29.350 --> 00:00:34.170
the mechanism simply was not present in the country to show television programs to mass audiences.
6
00:00:35.350 --> 00:00:41.930
While many other countries reveled in the filmed adventures of John Steed and Company, South Africa was not equipped to join in the fun.
7
00:00:42.545 --> 00:00:51.765
The series took Britain by storm and made a major impression in the American markets, being that greatest of rarities, a British series given a network transmission slot.
8
00:00:52.545 --> 00:01:00.480
However, as a filmed series, rather than a videotaped one, the Avengers was able to gain a modicum of exposure in South Africa through film rentals.
9
00:01:01.420 --> 00:01:04.240
Come and listen at myclassicradio.net.
10
00:01:05.260 --> 00:01:08.700
At ADP, we work with more than 860,000
11
00:01:08.700 --> 00:01:09.760
companies worldwide.
12
00:01:10.135 --> 00:01:12.795
That gives us a pretty good idea of how to help businesses
13
00:01:13.095 --> 00:01:19.994
grow stronger, whether it's through data insights that help you make informed decisions about building a team that works better as a team,
14
00:01:20.295 --> 00:01:23.274
or by keeping you ahead of thousands of changing regulations
15
00:01:23.575 --> 00:01:25.440
so you can keep ahead of everything else,
16
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:45.805
episode from the life of of Sherlock Holmes will be transmitted to our men and women overseas by short wave and through the worldwide facilities of the armed forces radio service.
17
00:01:46.744 --> 00:01:48.524
Pepsi Wine brings you
18
00:01:50.505 --> 00:01:54.300
Basil Rothbone and Nigel Bruce in the new adventures of Sherlock
19
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:56.540
Holmes.
20
00:02:01.800 --> 00:02:05.980
The Petrie family, the family that took time to bring you good wine,
21
00:02:06.325 --> 00:02:14.105
invite you to listen to doctor Watson tell us another exciting adventure he shared with his good friend at master detective, Sherlock Holmes.
22
00:02:14.725 --> 00:02:21.225
And if you ask me, the best way to listen to that story is to do it with a glass of port wine right handed.
23
00:02:21.700 --> 00:02:22.680
Petri California
24
00:02:22.980 --> 00:02:23.480
Port.
25
00:02:24.019 --> 00:02:29.560
No kidding. That Petri Port is just swell for any time good friends get together to toss things over.
26
00:02:30.019 --> 00:02:32.439
You couldn't ask for a more delicious wine
27
00:02:32.819 --> 00:02:41.905
by just looking at the deep rich red color of that Petri Port tells you that here's a wine with a flavor that comes right from the heart of sun ripened grape.
28
00:02:42.685 --> 00:02:44.704
If you haven't ever tried pet report,
29
00:02:45.165 --> 00:02:50.864
why not get a bottle and have a glass after dinner tomorrow night? It's the perfect after dinner wine, you know,
30
00:02:51.170 --> 00:02:53.989
And share that fort with your family and your friends.
31
00:02:54.690 --> 00:02:58.310
Don't forget when you serve Petrie Fort, you can serve it proudly
32
00:02:58.610 --> 00:03:00.550
because after all the name Petrie
33
00:03:00.930 --> 00:03:03.795
is the proudest name in the history of American wine.
34
00:03:10.515 --> 00:03:15.415
And now let's keep our weekly appoint. Good evening, doctor Watson. Good evening, mister Bartel.
35
00:03:16.515 --> 00:03:17.015
Thanks.
36
00:03:19.210 --> 00:03:19.950
In August,
37
00:03:20.650 --> 00:03:23.150
Baker Street was like an oven. The deer with sunlight,
38
00:03:23.530 --> 00:03:27.310
the brickwork of the house, course, the street was almost painful to the eyes.
39
00:03:28.250 --> 00:03:30.510
Our blinds were half drawn and holes,
40
00:03:30.890 --> 00:03:31.845
they curled on the
41
00:04:57.235 --> 00:05:02.055
Yes. I I just treat this. You can tell how it is with our whiteness stone steps.
42
00:05:03.075 --> 00:05:05.575
That's the signature Cushing's house up ahead.
43
00:05:06.115 --> 00:05:10.290
Right next to the corner. I'd rather to expect us to Yes. I've been here waiting for some adults in the case
44
00:08:37.925 --> 00:08:46.105
and the inspector was trying to think it might be them. They were always up to some tricks, but, oh, never anything like this, miss Holmes. Okay.
45
00:08:47.285 --> 00:08:47.785
Well,
46
00:08:48.964 --> 00:08:50.915
suppose you let them have a look at that box, my pussy. It's out in the back
47
00:09:05.144 --> 00:09:12.365
You you pardon me if I don't go with you. I I can't bear to look at the nasty things again. I don't understand, miss Couce. Thanks,
48
00:09:43.230 --> 00:09:43.730
Good
49
00:09:49.387 --> 00:09:49.887
dog.
50
00:10:43.779 --> 00:10:50.775
I've changed my title. Is now you allow the author to run riot. My not sensitive alert. My rubbish address printed in straggling characters.
51
00:11:32.790 --> 00:11:38.410
Yes. Look at this. Heavens hold its two ears, two shoes and ears. How pathetic and salty.
52
00:11:38.870 --> 00:11:45.690
And that's what miss Cushing was upset about. I can't say that I better. Yes. And I take its descent for a respectable stint for the lady.
53
00:14:08.745 --> 00:14:12.525
Because, Watson, I don't need to find out the name of the murderer. I know it.
54
00:15:11.140 --> 00:15:13.400
This is what we're picking on in quarrings, Watson.
55
00:15:14.180 --> 00:15:16.360
The house of mister Jim Barner.
56
00:15:28.035 --> 00:15:28.535
Hello?
57
00:15:29.314 --> 00:15:30.454
Anybody home?
58
00:15:31.954 --> 00:15:36.454
Who's there? Two gentlemen with a message for missus Bonner. She's not alone. Hey.
59
00:16:26.505 --> 00:16:27.005
What,
60
00:16:27.945 --> 00:16:29.965
just what did happen on Tuesday? Tuesday?
61
00:18:12.934 --> 00:18:21.330
So you're not going out for that, mister Fairburn, are you? I think I'm not. Miss Cabron until she finds out. But please don't find out for me. I'm sure there's nothing wrong about this.
62
00:18:35.195 --> 00:18:39.855
I won't be too busy. I won't trust that mister Fairburn. I won't trust him at all.
63
00:18:53.010 --> 00:18:53.830
Hello, Millie.
64
00:18:54.130 --> 00:18:56.150
They expect to see me back again so soon.
65
00:18:56.929 --> 00:18:57.429
Mary.
66
00:18:57.970 --> 00:18:59.590
Oh, Mary. I'm back.
67
00:19:00.529 --> 00:19:04.230
What's wrong, Millie? You look as if I were a ghost. No. No. No,
68
00:19:23.100 --> 00:19:23.760
Oh, marketing?
69
00:19:24.300 --> 00:19:27.440
No. No, sir. She's gone through New Brighton for the day.
70
00:19:27.900 --> 00:19:28.560
New Brighton?
71
00:19:29.340 --> 00:19:31.440
She didn't tell me she was going there.
72
00:19:32.300 --> 00:19:32.960
So, Kia,
73
00:19:33.260 --> 00:19:37.205
that wasn't really high fast in the street riding in the cab with that swine
74
00:19:37.525 --> 00:19:43.065
sir. I this is up. Oh, so that's it. My own wife contemplating with Alex Fairburn.
75
00:19:43.765 --> 00:19:45.385
Thought they could fool me. Did they?
76
00:19:45.765 --> 00:19:54.159
I warned her what I'd do if she she ever saw him again, and by heaven, I'll do it. Oh, so you won't do nothing. I see. Won't I? Won't I? Oh, yes. Yes. Yes.
77
00:19:54.460 --> 00:20:00.399
You believe. If you ever so much as tell us so that I came home today, I'll sit here hopeful you're here.
78
00:21:09.905 --> 00:21:15.365
And did mister Browner escape doctor Watson? Yes. Mister Browner. He did. But not in the world that I anticipated.
79
00:21:16.100 --> 00:21:24.520
You see, he committed suicide just before the Mayday reached port for a devil. And, yes, they found his corpse and remember the size of which he confessed
80
00:21:24.900 --> 00:21:26.680
to having committed the double murder.
81
00:21:27.700 --> 00:21:30.040
It seems that he forced them to New Brighton.
82
00:21:49.600 --> 00:21:55.950
I brought you a case of Petrie wine, and I suggest that we start on it right now with a glass of four. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
83
00:21:58.545 --> 00:22:04.325
You know, that's really good because the Petri family has been making fine wine since the eighteen hundreds.
84
00:22:04.785 --> 00:22:05.525
For generations,
85
00:22:05.985 --> 00:22:14.290
ever since they started the Petri business, the Petri family has been turning luscious California grapes into fragrant delicious wine.
86
00:22:14.830 --> 00:22:18.930
And during all that time, they've been handing on down from father to son,
87
00:22:19.310 --> 00:22:23.330
from father to son all their skill and knowledge and experience.
88
00:22:24.125 --> 00:22:28.785
The Petri wine you buy today is a result of all that skill and knowledge and experience.
89
00:22:29.245 --> 00:22:33.025
That's why you can't go wrong when you choose a Petri wine
90
00:22:33.325 --> 00:22:35.185
because Petri took time
91
00:22:35.565 --> 00:22:37.105
to bring you good wine.
92
00:22:38.120 --> 00:22:41.260
Now, doctor Watson, how about a tip on next week's adventure?
93
00:22:42.280 --> 00:22:43.340
Let me see.
94
00:22:44.360 --> 00:22:47.420
Next week, I think I'll tell you how Holmes
95
00:22:48.600 --> 00:22:49.820
broke into the house
96
00:23:06.080 --> 00:23:07.860
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The dramatization
97
00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:09.460
was by Edith Meiser.
98
00:23:16.320 --> 00:23:20.895
Mister Wright's gonna prove through the courtesy of Metro Goldwyn Mayer and mister Bruce through the courtesy of Universal
99
00:23:34.789 --> 00:23:40.250
the same time for further adventures of Sherlock Holmes, presented by the Petri Wineries of San Francisco.
100
00:23:40.950 --> 00:23:47.444
Try a Petri Wine and your taste for different because Petri took time to bring you good wine.
