Theodore SirenNARRATOR
And so, there sat the inspector, at a rickety desk in a cluttered hole of an office at H-Division headquarters in Bishopsgate Station, looking concerned but contained, weary but aware.
Theodore SirenVOICE_ACTOR

MattyHOST
And then finally, in a smaller role, but still important, we have Dougray Scott.
MattyHOST
And he was in a film adaptation of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde as both titular characters in 2008.
EvanHOST
Wait, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are the same person?
MattyHOST
Oh
EvanHOST
shit, you haven't seen the
Derek Van BarhamGUEST
Sure.
Derek Van BarhamGUEST
So Dr. Henry Jekyll is a doctor, turn of the century, kind of like Age of Enlightenment, science, psychology, all of these fields that we take for granted today, really just starting to get going.
Derek Van BarhamGUEST
And he has this thought, what if you can distill good from evil and separate that into individuals? Can you cure evil? madness? Can you cure things that lead to criminal activity? Basically, if you can isolate the evil in someone, what can you do with it? And what he comes to find through a series of experiments that he conducts on himself is that while it may manifest in you more literally and then take over.
Derek Van BarhamGUEST
So very much a universal story about good versus evil, how that duality lives in all of us.
CeciHOST
literally dick mansfield like
speaker_3UNKNOWN
he shares a name with Richard Mansfield the stage actor of the late 1800s early 1900s who he was Dr. Jekyll and people were like he's too scary in this he's gotta be Jack the Ripper and he was like no I'm an actor I act
CeciHOST
I'm familiar with
RafiqHOST
him.
KatieHOST
Give me a second, I'm bringing it up.
KatieHOST
Mary Jekyll, alone and penniless following her parents' death, is curious about the secrets of her father's mysterious past.
KatieHOST
One clue in particular hints that Edward Hyde, her father's former friend and murderer, and a murderer, not murderer, and a murderer, may be nearby, and there is a reward for information leading to his capture.
KatieHOST
a reward that would solve all of her immediate financial woes.
12 MINS LATER
MariaHOST
This is going to drive me insane.
MariaHOST
of weird doctors and shit they did and their daughters, I was like, okay, I'm here for it.
MariaHOST
And again, you start the story, it's Mary Jekyll.
MariaHOST
She has to deal with a poor household.
BT CallowayHOST
but if you don't know them, you are going to be a little bit lost.
BT CallowayHOST
And there's no reason they can't just either, A, make them kind of more generic, so you don't need to get it, or B, have them explained a tiny bit more, where like, okay, the first person I'm, the first person I'm going to reference is, one of the first places they go to is the house of Dr. Jekyll, who is, you know, Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde, yada, yada.
BT CallowayHOST
And yeah, by this point in my, I think even as a 10-year-old, I'd seen enough, you know, Sylvester and Tweety, where they literally do the same thing.
BT CallowayHOST
I knew the, I knew the bit.
10 MINS LATER
BT CallowayHOST
Yeah.
BT CallowayHOST
And again, it could have been a lighting thing.
BT CallowayHOST
