Carl Raccani ,

Great supplement to the TV series

Interesting backdrop provided to many of the episodes. The broadcasters care about their subject and offer great research and have read widely as well as the source material by Conan-Doyle. Sympathetic to the material but no scurrilous gossip. Good work guys - please keep it going. Great FB posts too.

Brilliant Work

This is a must listen companion to the greatest adaptation for screen of Holmes.
Jeremy Brett’s interpretation is the quintessential portrayal of Sherlock.
It is so amazing that Gus and Luke have brought this to the table, all these years later. The guys treat the subject, the cast and locations/sets with the reverence it deserves whilst keeping it down to earth with friendly observations and opinions.
If you like anything remotely to do with Conan Doyle’s greatest character or you watched or indeed still watch the show you simply have to listen to this podcast.
