There's a 3 hour show introduced by Nick Utechin titled The Game's Afoot. It features 5 (I think) adaptations of different stories featuring the various actors that have played Holmes and Watson over the years. Hobbs and Shelley, Gielgud and Richardson, Merrison and Williams.
The 3 hour show was broadcast regularly on BBC Radio 7 and I think it's already been repeated once on Radio 7's new incarnation - 4 Extra. I grabbed it once myself when it was on at 128k if anybody is interested. I thought The Game's Afoot was here already.
Reading my previous post it might not be clear to some people that what I was saying is that the Cedric Hardwicke and Finlay Currie SPEC was part of Nick Utechin's The Game's Afoot.
I have just uploaded my 128k version of The Game's Afoot to 4Shared. It's one mp3 of about 170MB.

Sherlock Holmes Enthusiast Nick Utechin Presents A Special Compilation Of The Detective's Presence On The Radio From The 1940s To 2004. Plus An Interview With Writer And Dramatist Bert Coules.
Features: Sir Cedric Hardwicke and Finlay Currie - The Adventure of the Speckled Band (19450517) Sir John Gielgud and Sir Ralph Richardson - The Red-Headed League (19541019) Carleton Hobbs and Norman Shelley - The Boscombe Valley Mystery (19661212) Clive Merrison and Michael Williams - The Return of Sherlock Holmes: The Solitary Cyclist (19930317) Clive Merrison and Andrew Sachs - The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: The Abergavenny Murder (20040518)
I remember reading a few years back now that Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke listened to this (SPEC) on set once. I can't remember reading how it arrived on set. I don't think the article I read went into it much. I think it was a surprise for Edward Hardwicke who was unaware of it.
I store files on my computer by artist. I hope you do not mind, but I have downloaded your file and then edited it to carve out the Hardwicke-Currie file at 128 kbps. I claim no credit for this file. The work was all yours. I just thought others may want to have this file as a stand alone, instead of one piece of a group of shows. The file can be downloaded from the link below.
It still doesn't work. Everyone has this problem on the first upload to Skydrive. it is much easier to do than to explain. When you open skydrive select this selection. Along the right hand margin should be your choices. I am not sure now how it is but there was 2 selections. The first already had a link the second didn't. You selected the second and the link appeared and you copied it. That is as close as I can come. I know they have changed somewhat and my selections for the site are now on automatic so I cannot look for you. They are excellent for storage but as is anything from Microsoft they are not very user-friendly. Don't worry, once we get it right I will delete all these back and forth comments.
Many thanks Jim It now works well. I was going to erase the posts about How to on Skydrive, but they are a progression that leads to the active link. ------------------------------------ Rick
There was an introduction by Adrian Conan Doyle (Arthur Conan Doyle's son). I have heard pieces of the intro separately in documentaries. The file attached has both the introduction and the The Speckled Band program.
The file at 32 kbs was over the 5 MB limit. I converted it to a 16 kbs file.

I don't mind what people do with the files I link to Jim so do whatever's best for you. I tag by artist and/or author myself.
Thank you
Thank you for the upgrade.
