We know him as Piero de Medici, villainous secret society leader and devoted father, but you may also know him as an impressionist, comic, actor and pianist.
Alistair McGowan is here with us to discuss everything you’d ever wanted to know about Piero, from what it was like playing the villain and the experience of filming Leonardo in South Africa.

Please note that this interview was originally recorded in 2022. Since then, Tom Wilkinson, one of the actors who Alistair mentions as being an inspiration for Piero, has sadly passed away. We’re so grateful for Tom's inspiration on this show we love.
