"Here's "The Devotees of Sherlock Holmes" a fascinating vintage rare BBC Radio Documentary probably circa 1970's about the fan clubs and societies that devote themselves to Sherlock Holmes. The programme includes amongst many fascinating things Discussion of the Sherlock Holmes phenomenon with Dame Jean Conan Doyle."

Duration: 30 minutes

Found this on Youtube. I've encoded a mp3 and uploaded it to Onedrive.

It was uploaded by the user "videocurios". There are a number of Sherlock Holmes radio programmes but this was the only one I didn't have. S/he has some interesting video uploads as well. I grabbed the following:

At the start of the show we hear that The Devotees is a series. I located some info about a programme called The Devotees ‘The Richard III Society’ from 1976 so that "circa 1970's" estimate in the description of this Holmes episode is probably correct.
