TELEVISION & RADIO

Robert Stephens

Max Carrados never got a major film but he has appeared on TV and on Radio. He was portrayed by Sir Robert Stephens in 1971 in one episode of The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes, "The Missing Witness Sensation".

The Very Cool Simon Callow

More recently Simon Callow has played Max on BBC4's Thriller Playhouse. Oddly enough, a blind detective works well on Radio since the listener doesn't have any advantage over the detective. We are all essentially blind. If you'd like to listen to the first 4 adventures of Carrados, Librivox offers them in mp3.

Later detectives would borrow the idea of a blind detective such as by Bayard Kendrick's Duncan Maclain and on TV Longstreet (1971-1972) starring James Francisus.

Edward Arnold as Duncan Maclain

"I think it's a ....dog."
