Henrietta Street

Ukridge was the sort of man who asks you out to dinner, borrows the money from you to pay the bill, and winds up the evening by embroiling you in a fight with a cabman.

I have gone to Covent Garden balls with Ukridge and found myself legging it down Henrietta Street in the gray dawn, pursued by infuriated costermongers.

I wondered how he got my address, and on that problem, light was immediately cast by Mrs. Medley, who returned bearing an envelope.

"It came by the morning post, sir, but it was left at number 20 by mistake." "Oh, thank you." "Thank you, sir," said Mrs.

At eleven there was a fight at the White Hart, but bar that all was quiet enough on the beat.

At one o'clock it began to rain, and I met Harry Mercher, him who has the Holland Grove beat, and we stood together at the corner of Henrietta Street a-talking.

Presently, maybe about two or a little after, I thought I would take a look round and see that all was right down the Brixton Road.

It was precious dirty and lonely.

And I felt only right to scrap the episode that I have now and to produce something honouring Frank MacDonald instead.

So what I've done Keeping this entirely new from the last episode we did together is I've dipped into the recording of a conversation between me and Frank in front of an audience at 14 Henrietta Street.

So if you heard that earlier podcast with Frank, this should all be new to you.

I'm really grateful that this conversation happened.

So it's a great honour to have it there and to have all, not only the principal response agencies, but also all the voluntary emergency services there.

and then like it plans to be a great day like obviously we we start off with the parade that starts off in selsker and it comes down henrietta street onto the keys and then finishes there just before the bridge where the display will go on there's also a reed lane ceremony to honor those who have died in the line of duty and also to remember colleagues that were actively working within services and just died through the medical and other tragedies in their lives like because all that has an impact on us and then obviously acknowledge the work we do and the communities we serve and to engage with the communities.

And there's a lot of activities there.

There's a disco, there's face painting, there's interactive games, and then there's a lot of demonstrations going on.

It's a day to commemorate those in the past and to inspire future generations to come down and maybe volunteer in the future.

It's a lovely family free day out.

The parade is running on along Wexford Town, starting at 12 o'clock in Selsker, down to Henrietta Street and down onto the quay where we have a reclaying ceremony.

and then until 4 o'clock please come down the helicopter is coming at 3 o'clock the new Augusta Westland from Rescue 117 they're only officially in service down there this week so we're delighted to welcome up the brand new helicopter to Wexford it'll be the first time that we're officially going to see it so everyone come down it's going to be a lovely day out for everybody

Um, so yeah.

So I think like this point is like quite an interesting time to tell that story of like, and I, and I also, I suppose at a point where it's been like, So when are we saying this start? When's Adventures of Henrietta Street?

That's 2001.

2001 into 2002.

Yeah.

I think as well, I recently read Time Worm Genesis, which was an imminently cancelable book, which featured an awful lot of scenes set in a brothel with underage girls playing.

being exploited and andrew said in that episode well i think we should reread adventurous on henrietta street which is also set in a brothel um and i think also features but you know i just think laurence miles is a savvier writer he's like yeah this is an uncomfortable environment yeah i'm going to put a distance between the reader and the story and write this as an academic dissertation rather than a And like you said, the Doctor Who-ness just infects the brothel to the point where no fucker wants to have sex anymore by the end of the book.

But it's just like the imagery as well, the imagery in the last half where they're in that jungle and then in that wild version of the Panopticon on Gallifrey where the Doctor's dying in the middle of it and Sabathur falls in and just rips his heart out, you know, in the middle of his wedding ceremony.

I actually think there are far less risks being taken than the back in the start.

The books used to take really bold swings, like Adventuress on Henrietta Street, and the audios used to take bold swings, like Skirtsow and things like that.

But you just wouldn't have stories like that now.

Yeah, but you need a good mix of things.
