so heemy told me yesterday she’d never listened to the recording of the secret of sherlock holmes, that one play written exclusively for jeremy brett’s holmes and edward hardwicke’s watson, which is an outrage, so:

act one & act two

couple of things:

• unlike in the granada series, watson gets married in this — it’s the catalyst for most of the intrigue — so it’s not part of the same narrative structure; it’s an alternate universe with the same actors playing the same characters.
• the quality isn’t the best, but it’s the only recording i have been able to find so far, and i’ve been looking for years.
• the h/w relationship in this is one of the most believable and most heartbreaking (and ultimately rewarding) i have ever been given the pleasure to hear. but you’ll cry. fair warning.
