Welcome to The Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes Podcast - a show devoted to revisiting and honoring the world's greatest portrayal of the world's greatest detective.
From 1984 to 1994, Granada Television produced what is arguably the best (and most complete) depiction of the legendary detective’s Adventures, Memoirs, Case-Books and many Returns. Spanning 36 episodes and 5 movies, producer Michael Cox created a Sherlockian experience like no other. This podcast will examine that timeless series with a specific eye on Jeremy Brett in the role he was destined to immortalize.

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.

Greet from Germany, I like UK, Sherlock Holmes and of course your Podcast about the great one..
so much love for Holmes and Brett in this podcast. no better listening to besides a lit fireplace.
Dear Luke, it is a great job whatever you are doing in this podcast. Thank you and Gus.
you are doing a great job. Thank you.
Thank you for an enjoyable podcast, to which I am now subscribed. The King of Bohemia was the imaginary king of real-life Bohemia, a German or Czech King, it was never intended that Bohemia was a British colony or subject territory. Remember that Queen Victoria was married to a German. Romano's would have been the restaurant at 400 The Strand, and I suspect a nod to The Strand Magazine in which the stories were first published. Might be worth trying to hear English place names spoken by a British person, so you don't butcher them.
Do u have the transcript
this is great 💛
