In part two of our Secret coverage, Gus and Luke dive even deeper into the play, sharing rare ephemera from the show, including previously unheard recordings of Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke. We also hear a formerly unreleased Secret discussion with the late author David Stuart Davies. And, our producer David joins us for Mrs. Hudson’s Housekeeping as we catch up on Sherlockian news after a long hiatus! Plus, listener telegrams, Hound podcast feedback, and more!

In part one of our investigation into the hit stage play (which ran between 1988 and 1989 in London’s West End), we explore the secrets behind the making of this very special production - which was near and dear to the heart of Jeremy Brett. We also share recollections from the creative team behind The Secret and examine the trials and tribulations that Jeremy and Edward overcame to meet the expectations of their adoring public.
