Aldrich Kemp - possible spoilers

Evening!
I finished listening to Who Killed Aldrich Kemp today. Can anyone please explain the meaning of the very end, when Clara wanted honey and not jam or tea? I have only just realised that there was a previous series so I may be missing something!

Hi
If you enjoyed it as much as I did then definitely worth listening to the first series on BBC sounds.
In answer to your question, Clara was avoiding the tea and jam as she is always drugged on leaving to ensure that she has no idea where the organisation is based.
From the sound of her passing out at the end, I suspect the honey was the culprit on this occasion.

Ah! Thank you MFee! I have the previous series in my downloads ready to start listening to.

Oh I love all Julian Simpsons work!

I would suggest listening to the 5 standalone episodes and the 3 part Mythos series first. They are all part of the same universe and get important as you go further into the Lovecraft series. If you download the soundcloud app search for Julian Simpsons page and you will find them all there. They are fabulous stuff and I have done several relistens.

A bit jealous you get to enjoy for the first time. Don't listen to Bad Memories alone after dark though 😱!

Thanks for the recommendation!
I have now listened to everything Julian Simpson has ever broadcast!
I had already listened to Albion but so much better when you've listened to Mythos in sequence.
You're right about Bad Memories and a couple of the episodes of Lovecraft made me so startled that I stopped listening whilst driving!
Loved the tie in with Aldrich Kemp and looking forward to Season 4 of Lovecraft later this year.

Sorry for updating a slumbering zombie, but there's a new series of Aldrich Kemp! 🎉
(Had a good browse for a Pleasant Green / Julian Simpson / Lovecraft Investigations / Aldrich Kemp specific thread, but this was the only one)

HarpQuartet · 22/11/2024 14:33

Ooh good! Thanks for the heads-up!

MFee · 23/11/2024 14:15

It just gets better and better
Just starting episode 3
Absolutely no way can I wait a week between episodes!
Also signed up to Cartoon Gravity
Brilliant way of keeping up with Julian Simpson's work
Unbelievable that he struggles to get stuff broadcast
Did you listen to Temporal on Audible? Absolutely brilliant with incredible audio.

HarpQuartet · 23/11/2024 19:09

No, but thank you for the recommendation!

Does anyone have a link to a list of all his dramas? I have listened to Lovecraft and Aldrich Kemp, now I'm intrigued/a bit concerned that there's more I haven't listened to!!!!

MFee · 24/11/2024 22:17

If you look on Cartoon Gravity there are links to all of his work there and he sends out updates. The Mythos series is great.

LadyAmroth · 25/11/2024 08:11

I'm just confused about the order! Loving the current series of Aldrich Kemp. Mrs Boon cracks me up

MFee · 25/11/2024 12:12

Cartoon Gravity lists them all in order in the radio and podcasts section
If you enjoy Mrs Boon you'll be glad to know that Nicola Walker is also brilliant in Mythos. As are the rest of the cast!

LadyAmroth · 25/11/2024 15:01

Actually just found his wiki page lists it all in order hurrah! Putting link here for anyone who would like it.

Nicola is also awesome as the university lecturer in the Lovecraft Investigations.

Thank you for this! I'm thoroughly enjoying Mythos.
