During the Granada television series Jeremy Paul and Jeremy Brett collaborated on a Holmes play in which Brett starred alongside Edward Hardwicke as Dr. Watson. The play's central theme is the friendship between Holmes and Watson. I found the audio of a 1989 performance, at least the first 30 minutes of it, on YouTube. But as most things on the Internet do those videos went down and are no longer available. (See Running Websites and The Second Law of Thermodynamics). I have made some changes. Complete audio of the play from The Jeremy Brett Archive is still available. I have replaced the YouTube audio with commentary about the play and interviews with Jeremy Brett.

I have found and decided to embed slightly better audio of the play from SoundCloud
