How World Book Club played detective with Sherlock

World Book Club presenter Harriet Gilbert talks about the show's special episode on Arthur Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes.

World Book Club usually interviews authors about their work, with questions from the audience. But September’s edition featured an author who died nearly a century ago. We’re joined by presenter Harriet Gilbert to talk about the show's special episode on Arthur Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes. Will they do something similar with other deceased authors?

Plus, already announced major programme changes will take effect soon, but listeners have already been in touch concerned about what’s happening with Business Matters.

Presenter: Rajan Datar
Producer: Howard Shannon.
