Neil Gibson as they attempt to prove the innocence of a wrongly accused governess and solve the Problem of Thor Bridge.

In this Free Patreon Exclusive Sherlockian Conversation, we take you back to April 2022 in London and speak with actor Michael Culver. Probably best known to Brettons for his role as Sir Reginald Musgrave in The Musgrave Ritual, Michael acted in numerous roles in film, TV, radio and on the stage including A Passage to India, Game, Set and Match, and notably, Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back, as Captain Needa. Later in life, he was known for being a staunch anti-war activist and supporter of the well-known peace campaigner, Brian Haw. Michael Culver died on February 27, 2024 at the age of 85. We hope you enjoy this rather cheerful conversation.
