tree_and_leafI've just been listening to a programme about Peter Wimsey on BBC7's Listen Again - thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
harriet_wimsey for the heads-up.
Interesting stuff, especially Iain Carmichael's interview about making the TV and radio adaptions (I'd forgotten Simon Brett was involved in the latter which, along with the vocal talents of I.C. and the wonderful Peter Jones, goes some way to explaining their success).
But what really grabbed my attention was the fact that Peter Wimsey was first written as a minor character in a Sexton Blake story which DLS wrote and, for obvious reasons, never published.
Yes, that's right. Lord Peter originated as an OC in a fan-fic. I think there's encouragement for us all, there, don't you?
