Walking The Dog with Emily Dean23 Joulu 2025

Helen George (Part One)

This week Emily and Ray have a festive treat for you as they take a stroll through the beautifully Christmassy streets of Richmond with Call the Midwife star Helen George, joined by her adorable rescue dog Charlie.

Emily chats to Helen about her childhood growing up in Hampshire, the early days of her career including working as a backing singer for Elton John, and her experiences playing Nurse Trixie in Call the Midwife since the very first episode back in 2012.

They also talk about Helen’s current turn as the Fairy Godmother in Cinderella at the Richmond Theatre, which runs until January 4th and also stars Basil Brush. Tickets are available at https://www.atgtickets.com.

Helen is warm, funny and wonderfully down to earth, and Emily quickly realises she is exactly the sort of person you would want on speed dial in a crisis. Luckily, the only emergency on this walk involved a shortage of poo bags, which Helen handled with true Fairy Godmother efficiency.

Don't miss the Call the Midwife Christmas specials on BBC One, with part one airing on Christmas Day and part two on Boxing Day.

It’s a joyful, festive walk with a much-loved face from British television, and the perfect episode to see the year out.
