HEY FRIENDS, I am EXTREMELY EXCITED to have come into possession of a copy of the play script for The Secret of Sherlock Holmes and so NATURALLY the first thing I had to do was transcribe it to share! It’s agonizingly difficult to find, which is a massive shame because it’s REALLY excellent, especially if you’re already a fan of Granada Holmes.

In case you’re unfamiliar, this play was commissioned by Jeremy Brett to Jeremy Paul, who wrote several episodes of the Granada series. The stage play starred Brett and Edward Hardwicke and ran from August 1988 to December 1989. It’s basically a series of vignettes chronicling the friendship of Holmes and Watson, with a bit of a dark twist, the titular Secret.

Audio from one of the productions was kindly uploaded by Alison Carter on Soundcloud which you can listen to here and follow along in the script if you want:

Act 1 | Act 2

On that note, the formatting of this took A WHILE, apart from the challenge of actually getting my hands on it at all, so if you find this helpful or entertaining or otherwise generally Good: 

✨  Please consider buying me a coffee (or a cheeseburger, as it’s equally likely to be) by leaving few bucks in my ko-fi :)  ✨

THANK YOU and I hope you love this as much as I did 💖

Podcast going *in depth* on the Jeremy Brett / Edward Hardwicke stage play!!! 🎉

It was practically like being there!!

I know because I was lucky enough to actually see the play.

Part II is just commentary and is linked from this one

UPDATE: @ninasnakie asked if this was AI. I'm not sure if that means the whole play, but the the short answer is that if it was faked, it would have had better sound.

Sometimes I find screenshots from 2022 which remind me that in the process of making this game I sometimes went a little tiny bit bananas.

granada textpost dump!

if you ever feel like you're not getting anywhere romantically just remember that sherlock and watson have been in a situationship since 1887

It is the 1920s, and in a sleepy Sussex village, beekeeper and former world's greatest detective Sherlock Holmes (James Quinn, Apostasy), is trying to arrange a pleasant clifftop picnic for his lifelong companion Dr Watson (Andrew James Spooner, Muppets Most Wanted). The only problem is that a series of mysteries keep getting in the way!

Sherlock and Watson, dancing request. Sherlock needs to study this new dance( for reasons of solving the murder in the ballroom, of course) so the doctor is helping ♥
