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.

In the first installment of our 3-part coverage of this 2-hour telefilm (!), Holmes and Watson journey into the heart of darkness (aka Dartmoor) to investigate the legendary spectral Hound of the Baskervilles.   We also hear recollections from numerous cast and crew members about the making of this very special (if slightly troubled) episode of the Granada series.

In this very special episode, we are thrilled to present our conversation with series producer and show-runner June Wyndham Davies.  At the request of Granada chairman David Plowright, June began producing the show in 1986 ("The Return") and shepherded an incredible 22 stories from page to screen.  Here, she recalls growing up in Cardiff, her history with Granada, and producing the Sherlock Holmes series.  She also shares many touching memories of her good friend, Jeremy Brett.
