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.
