The Paddington star narrates an eerie adaptation of an Arthur Conan Doyle classic. Plus a worrying series about the US tech company at the heart of the NHS
Narrator Hugh Bonneville stresses at the beginning of this new audio drama that readers were utterly incensed when Arthur Conan Doyle decided to kill off Sherlock Holmes in 1893. The writer later resurrected him – but not before this fan favourite prequel about an apparently supernatural, beastly creature that stalks Devon’s moors. This eerie adaptation is faithful to its source material, with each episode ending on a cliffhanger. Hannah J Davies

LA-based comic Holly Brown hosts this show – equal parts dark and jaunty – about the family secret her father revealed when he was dying, namely the existence of Brown’s younger twin brothers. Drawing on sitcom conventions (her dad worked on Frasier) and with fictional elements, it’s an original, sometimes uncomfortable listen, with real imagination. HJD
