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.
Nick Utechin - The Game's Afoot BBC Radio 7 19 July 2008 (first broadcast)
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.
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.
