In this episode of the podcast, we welcome our friend and podcast producer David to the show as we examine the connections between Granada and the Abbey Building Group, we pause to remember "The Woman" Gayle Hunnicutt, we examine the biography of Robert Stephens (Sherlockian actor and one of Jeremy Brett's closest friends), we discuss more Sherlockian news that we missed while we were away, and we announce a very special upcoming podcast guest. Plus, listener telegrams!
Sincerest thanks to Stephan Weishaupt for sharing this video with us and our listeners.
