June Wyndham Davies: A Sherlockian Conversation

In this very special episode, we are thrilled to present our conversation with series producer and show-runner June Wyndham Davies. At the request of Granada chairman David Plowright, June began producing the show in 1986 ("The Return") and shepherded an incredible 22 stories from page to screen. Here, she recalls growing up in Cardiff, her history with Granada, and producing the Sherlock Holmes series. She also shares many touching memories of her good friend, Jeremy Brett.

What a fabulous catch she is for an interview. She's a huge part of the series. She's so sharp for a lady of 94 years old ❤️

[@sherlockpodcast]

Definitely one we're proud of. Thanks for listening!

[@sheibanineda2488]

This British lady is just unbelievable for her age. Respect ❤

[@dantheman5745]

I wasn't expecting it to be so, but out of all of the great "Conversations" you've arranged, this may have been the best one. Felt like it was over in 5 minutes. I could've listened for hours. What an absolute gem.

[@sherlockpodcast]

Same for us, it went too quickly, but how lovely it was!

[@DizzyMamma1]

What a wonderful lady. I loved her laugh and joy at telling her stories, but also some sad and emotional moments. Still clearly sharp as a tack and a great memory for all the people involved.

[@dantheman5745]

I have to agree with June. David Burke was great as Watson, and I wouldn't trade his 13 episodes for anything, but Edward Hardwicke was tone-perfect as Watson.

[@thathappyrat]

What an absolute treat to hear the recollections of this legendary lady from her own lips. A tremendous gift to us, thank you all.

[@sherlockpodcast]

We felt the same. Thank you for listening!

[@tonimoroni742]

Ngl, I welled up at points in that. But how brilliant she was. And if she ever told me I had a good voice I'd be doing backflips.

[@sherlockpodcast]

Certainly! It was a joy to speak with her for so many reasons.

[@sauldanson7630]

Wonderful interview. Really lovely to hear her memories of Jeremy and the show. Keep up the great work, guys!! Thank you

[@jollyjakelovell4787]

That was just splendid. What a delightful Human being that grand Lady is. Again, fellows attaboy.

[@junemirfin3553]

That was so good. Sad but poignant. She clearly had a lot of affection for Jeremy. Could listen to her all day.

[@fungiplays2289]

Absolutely wonderful. I loved her addition at the end at what a pleasure it had been. Simply wonderful. Got a little misty eyed in here.

[@sherlockpodcast]

Lots of misty eyes around this episode. :)

[@fungiplays2289]

@@sherlockpodcast she's an absolute treasure. I hope she knows how much her fans really appreciate that she took time for this.

[@millernumber1]

A legend. So good that you were able to connect with her.

[@Republic4ever714]

I love Junes laughter it’s contagious,😂

[@cjcampbell37]

So wonderful and so very moving. Thank you all very much indeed.

[@yas4435]

A wonderful interview❤ Please arrange another opportunity to speak with June in the near future!!❤❤

[@sherlockpodcast]

Thank you for listening! We will keep in touch with her.

[@itfrombit]

I can't thank you enough for conducting this interview. What a truly wonderful interview this is. After listing I only wished that you both have had a chance to direct an episode yourself. That really would have a fantastic episode. Thank you, once again, for your commitment to making this immortal series even more immortal.

[@sherlockpodcast]

We really appreciate it! We're glad there are folks out there on this journey with us.

[@SAVANNAHEVENTS]

Count on us! Bravo​@@sherlockpodcast

[@Bazlovesmusic]

What a wonderful interview with a fascinating lady. Thank you so much for doing this. ❤

[@melchestermodelrailway]

Remarkable interview and memories.

[@jonehaney8939]

Fabulous interview! Made my day!!

[@jagajazzin]

Wow, that was an incredible and at times, emotional listen; extremely grateful to all of you for this! On a side note, she sounds just, and I mean *JUST* like Connie Sachs from the Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy & Smiley's People series'! Not just the tone and shape of her voice, but choice of words and humor as well!

[@Gasmeter72]

That was really great. Thank you very much.

[@acmehorse]

Thank you. That was wonderful and just a bit sad.

[@sherlockpodcast]

Exactly how we felt, but what a treat to speak with her briefly. Thank you for listening.

[@acmehorse]

​@@sherlockpodcast I didn't want to come across as maudlin but It lightens my heart that Jeremy was so obviously well loved.

[@jeffschick1669]

Thank you! It's just what I wanted!

[@sherlockpodcast]

With our compliments of the season!

[@Bent-Ed]

Lovely interview with a legend

[@jackdowd6238]

Wonderful recollections from June.....very deft at not stomping on peoples reputation decades later.....sounds like someone you would go to the end of the world for....."bloody hell, give us more"....

[@jeffmanjarrez1087]

A wonderful treat for us Bretons. Thank you Gus and Luke for making this happen.

[@ATB1028]

Absolutely marvelous podcast. I couldn't agree more with June's appraisal of Gus' voice. I could listen all day to his mesmerizing voice. June revealed so many enlightening surprises ... and yes, many of them brought tears to my eyes.

[@livingabovethe12th]

Wow that was fantastic, everything I hoped it would be. Great job 👍👍👍👍

[@sherlockpodcast]

Thank you for listening!

[@Akuna-cf4hp]

I know its deeply intrusive but I would love to here the goodbye answer machine recording. Much love

[@russellteee]

You should have seen the look on my face when this interview popped up in my podcast feed. Thank you so much for all the effort you put into this show. Remarkable you were able to get this interview.

[@sherlockpodcast]

Probably similar to the look on ours when she said yes to it! Thanks for listening!

[@krkf8]

This is really really neat

[@geoffboyles]

She is great for 94. By the way its time for a beer down The Alpha Inn!!

[@Babcock3]

Wonderful

[@herodude1000]

Delightful interview!

[@CapnBlackJackHonour]

Woah!

[@johnyricco1220]

I follow you on Spotify and it would really help if you could make the volume much louder. I play your podcast on my phone while driving and the noise of traffic really drown out the audio. Looking forward to listen to this one later, in the quiet of my study.
