Brettcon 2 – The Return


Listen Later

"the affair which you have commemorated" [MUSG] We welcome back Gus and Luke Holwerda, hosts of The Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes Podcast, along with their producer, David Youell, to discuss Brettcon 2: The Return. Scheduled for September 19, 2026, at the Dancehouse Theatre in Manchester, this second conference in the series continues to celebrate the 40th anniversary of legendary Granada Television series and the incomparable Jeremy Brett. Following the success of their first conference in 2025, they reflect on the extraordinary sense of community the event inspired, bringing together fans from around the world with actors and crew members who shared memories of Jeremy Brett — a brilliant actor, and an admired and generous human being whose presence still resonates. We discuss Brettcon 2's star-studded lineup, which includes actor Michael Siberry, BAFTA-winning costume designer Esther Dean, actor and stuntman Kiran Shah, and an exclusive for IHOSE of a very special pair of guests. From screenings of classic episodes to displays of original, unseen costumes, it's a salute to the artistry and community that defined the Granada era. Beyond the main event, Gus, Luke and David also discuss the weekend extravaganza that takes fans into the heart of the show's production history, including a Friday meal at the former Granada Studios back lot, the original site of Baker Street. And they highlight the charitable mission at the heart of Brettcon, with all proceeds benefiting the mental health charity MindUK, in honor of Jeremy's own journey. And you'll want to make sure you listen to additional bonus material as our conversation continued. Our "Learned Societies" segment kicks off with Sherlockian society activities coming up in the second half of July. Then, it's a new edition of "Examining the Pictures," with the film critic, journalist, and author Christian Monggaard, BSI, as he reviews a cult classic from the 1970s. Finally, the Canonical Couplet quiz will test your Sherlock Holmes knowledge, with a copy of something from the vaults for the winner.
