Fantastic and fascinating interviews. Thank you so much. And thank you for leaving Alastair Duncan’s interview unedited - how moving and brilliant to hear how much Ted Hardwicke meant to him. Very moving.
Such a wonderful episode, yet again! Thank you both for your dedicated work in promoting the genius of Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes. Wishing you all the best for the forthcoming event in #Guildford
The Kristoffer Tabori interview was an absolute riot! Kinda sent me down the rabbit hole when I heard his father was Don Siegel. Talk about an amazing resume for a director! Body Snatchers (1956), Two Mules for Sister Sara (1970), Dirty Harry (1971), Charley Varrick (1973), Telefon (1977), Escape from Alcatraz (1979)....my goodness! If you haven't seen any one of these movies, do yourself a favor and watch them. (Charley Varrick is one of my favorite hidden gems)
Charley Varrick is a superb movie. The Killers with Lee Marvin is also a classic, the only movie where Ronald Reagan plays a villain - and whacks Angie Dickenson
Remarkable job lining up these absolutely captivating interviews. When I first saw HOUND, I was already familiar with James Faulkner from his excellent role in "I, Claudius" back around '76, and he certainly didn't disappoint. In listening to Bill Ilkley it seemed such a shame he didn't have any lines beyond a few grunts. Always such a treat to get the recollections of all those involved.
Outstanding gents. Love it. See you and alot of these great people in a few weeks. By the way, this extended interview piece you've added on has been incredibly engaging, I couldn't put it down. If you have this as an extra for each episode it'll be brilliant If you have any left over extended interviews from previous episodes it would be brilliant to publish them retrospectively.. Best thing you've done, in a long list of brilliant things you've done already. Be proud of yourselves gents
They should have held back and saved a little more money and released it in 89. I wish they had rounded off the series with His Last Bow as a Christmas special in 94, but it was not to be.
BTW, I don't imagine that this is in any way news to you guys, but in case it is of any use to you when you get to your "Creeping Man" podcast, the end credits in that episode obviously confuse Peter Guinness' and Steve Swinscoe's roles. Prior to 2020, every online reference, including IMDb reflected this mistake. In Feb. 2020, after having my initial submission for correction rejected by the folks at IMDb, I composed a comprehensive breakdown, complete with timestamps & dialogue, showing which role each actor played, proving that the end credits were actually in error. Apparently it was thorough enough to meet IMDb's standards, and they made the change in how they listed the credits. I saved the submission and will post it below in case it saves you guys any time/work should you choose to address this in your podcast.
Feb. 9, 2020, to IMDb: The end credits (48:38) are incorrect, which explains why every online reference also juxtaposes the roles played by Peter Guinness and Steve Swinscoe in [The Creeping Man]. Everything below can be easily confirmed by referencing the times specified in the video of this episode that is available on CZcams: [I gave IMDb the link, but a simple search on CZcams for "Sherlock Holmes the Creeping Man" will take you to the video referenced below] Neither character (Jenkins or Wilcox) is addressed directly by name while on-screen, but both are clearly identified by name & physical characteristics/actions they’ve taken by Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in 5 different instances. Peter Guinness plays a character who is clean-shaven, slovenly-dressed and who confronts Dr. Watson on the side-alley beside Dorak's Emporium (26:45), and then also accosts & threatens Dr. Watson with a knife at the front entrance (27:00), where Swinscoe appears as well. Steve Swinscoe plays a sharply-dressed character who wears a mustache and smokes a cigar (28:52). These are incontrovertible facts. At this point, however, neither actor’s character is identified by name, so we don’t know which one is Jenkins and which one is Wilcox. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 30:10 - *Watson:* “Apart from being threatened by an unhelpful brute (Guinness) in an alley at the side, very little. He obviously works there because he followed me back to the shop and threatened me again. Oh, there was another fellow sharply dressed, a waistcoat with a mustache." (Swinscoe) *Holmes:* “A Cheroot [cigar]?” *Watson:* “Yes, yes, he did.” *Holmes:* “Sounds like Harry Wilcox, more usually of Soho Square than the East End.” *CONCLUSION:* this clearly identifies Harry Wilcox as a sharply-dressed man, with a mustache, who smokes a cigar....all the features of the character portrayed by Steve Swinscoe. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 29:02 - The character played by Swinscoe approaches the character played by Guinness, who is assessing his ability to pick the lock on the primate cage: *Swinscoe:* “Right, you can do it? *Guinness:* “Yeah, easier than Maidstone.” 36:02 - *Holmes:* “The lock was released by (indiscernible) Jenkins of Stepping Green.” *CONCLUSION:* this clearly identifies Guinness as the character Jenkins, the lock-picker. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 36:06 - *Holmes:* “The primate was quieted with a pad of chloroform administered by someone who lavishes their hair with Mr. Brewster of Jernin Street's Pomade. This would suggest that he also sports a waxed mustache, Mr. Brewster being celebrated for his cosmetic wax for gentlemen. If this was so, Lestrade, you could do worse than have a word with Harry the Tash Wilcox of Soho.” *CONCLUSION:* this clearly identifies Wilcox as being the one with the mustache. Swinscoe’s character was the one with the mustache. Guinness’ character was clean-shaven. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 38:31 - *Holmes:* “Are you coming?” *Watson:* “Where to?” *Holmes:* “Dorak's Emporium, especially as (indiscernible) Jenkins took such pains to guard against you. Are you game?” *CONCLUSION:* this clearly identifies Jenkins as the one who threatened Dr. Watson earlier at Dorak's Emporium. The clean-shaven Guinness is the one who threatened Dr. Watson. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 40:15 - *Man with mustache:* “We was waiting on a visit, Mr. Holmes.” *Holmes:* “Wilcox!” (then, after fending off an attack by a clean-shaven man with a knife) *Holmes:* “…and Jenkins.” *CONCLUSION:* Holmes clearly identifies the man with the mustache as Wilcox, and the clean-shaven man as Jenkins. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Actor Peter Guinness portrayed the slovenly-dressed, clean-shaven, lock-picking, knife-wielding character Jenkins, not Wilcox. Actor Steve Swinscoe portrayed the sharply-dressed, mustachioed, Cheroot-smoking character Wilcox, not Jenkins. The closing credits are incorrect.
Fantastic and fascinating interviews. Thank you so much. And thank you for leaving Alastair Duncan’s interview unedited - how moving and brilliant to hear how much Ted Hardwicke meant to him. Very moving.
Fantastic final.part of The Hound episode.... so good to hear all the stories from the filming... brilliant

Thanks! And thank you for listening.
Loved all the interviews. What great memories they all shared. They made me laugh and teary eyed. Well done guys, fantastic work 🖤
Thank you for listening!
"Well that's an actor, hunny." Amazing!
That was just so lovely. Thank you so much for putting this together.
Your interviews are so authentic- “the lost toupee” at 7:40 is wonderful!

Thank you, Dan! These were a lot of fun for us. We're glad to know people are enjoying them.

Thank you, Matthew! We're making plans for all stuff we've already recorded... just need to find the time!
Just discovered your wonderful channel by accident. I've watched everything. Will you be doing more content going forward?
Much more to come! We are on a bit of a hiatus. But we will certainly be back.
@@sherlockpodcast Yippee!!

Agreed, but at least we have this version.

Holmes appears to use Jenkins' first name twice, but for the life of me, I couldn't make out what name he was saying.
Fantastic info! Thanks Dan! Will certainly incorporate this when we get to The Creeping Man. Many thanks!
