In 1985, Gary Leach sat down with Jeremy Brett for an impromptu interview on the Baker Street set. What followed was an insightful conversation on wide-ranging topics including the actor's background and training, performance style, thoughts on playing the Great Detective, and his hopes and dreams for the future. A sincere thanks to Gary for sharing this previously unreleased treasure with us and our listeners.

Gary was also the original designer of the Secret of Sherlock Holmes tee-shirts which were only available at the Wyndham's Theater from 1988 to 1989 - but in collaboration with our podcast, these shirts have received a new run and are currently available exclusively at our website, while supplies last.

In part one of our investigation into the hit stage play (which ran between 1988 and 1989 in London’s West End), we explore the secrets behind the making of this very special production - which was near and dear to the heart of Jeremy Brett. We also share recollections from the creative team behind The Secret and examine the trials and tribulations that Jeremy and Edward overcame to meet the expectations of their adoring public.
