Hardshog ,

Truly enjoy

I very much enjoy the show - the backstories from the production, the interviews and the clips are fantastic. I grew up watching this show on PBS and no other actor portrays the classic Holmes like Jeremy Brett RIP. I would love to hear more episodes and learn more about the status of the campaigning for an overdue BAFTA for the incomparable star.

Lalbharti ,

Companion to one of greatest TV shows made

Cannot praise this podcast enough. For anyone who loves the Granada production of Sherlock Holmes, this is an essential companion to every episode.

FUKOFPET ,

Outstanding

These guys really do a great job. It is obvious they have a genuine love for Holmes and Jeremy Brett’s portrayal in particular, and they put the time in doing research in order to produce quality content. This show is packed with details I never knew and didn’t suspect. Can’t recommend this show enough.
