"I'm an unspeakable of the Oscar Wilde sort."

I’ve just finished listening to the BBC Radio adaptation of The Adventure of the Read-Headed League (which is excellent, by the way) and I’ve learnt who played the role of John Clay alias Vincent Spaulding. It was James Wilby.

James Wilby. Guys, John Clay is played by Maurice Hall.

The meta-geek in me is practically exploding with glee. I wonder if Katie Forsythe knew this when she wrote Four Minor Interludes for the Solo Violin?

ETA: I'm now watching the Granada adaptation of REDH, and this time John Clay is played by Captain bloody Darling. What the actual fuck? XD
