| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Murder Mile. |
| 0:12.9 | Today, I'm standing on Denham Street in Soho W1, 30 yards south of the unfortunate Mr. Johnson, 50 yards west of the suicide of Mabel Hill and Herbert Turner, 20 yards north of the last hangout of the Blackout Ripper, and 10 yards east of the fingers which didn't lie. |
| 0:39.5 | Coming soon to Murder Mile. |

| 0:50.4 | made famous as this is what's behind, the Piccadilly Lights. |
| 0:57.0 | As a one-way street stretching 121 metres from Sherwood Street to Shaspian Avenue, |
| 1:05.0 | even though it's smack bang in the beating heart of the West End, nobody goes here as it's grim, grimy, dead. It's the kind of dark vapid hellhole, where the sun can't be asked to shine, where |
| 1:14.7 | life can't be bothered to exist, where litter whistles down, only to go, oh bugger, and hope it's |
| 1:22.1 | blown elsewhere, and where steamy dog turds cling to the bum lips and dangle through a few seconds longer for fear of being dumped. |

| 2:05.6 | In flat eight lived Julian Hall, a 26-year-old aviator, sportsman and chronic alcoholic. |
| 2:14.6 | Being depressed and drinking himself to death, the life of this wealthy bachelor was in chaos, |
| 2:22.3 | as two women bide for his love. |
