Dum Tee Dum Episode 84 – The aftermath

11/16/15 • 71 min

DumTeeDum - A show about BBC Radio's 'The Archers'

DumTeeDum opened with a recording from the DTD get together at the weekend where many podcast listeners gathered and both Lucy and Roifield recalled various encounters and non-encounters during the evening. Apparently even some lurkers were outed - and must now call in.Ruth's constant moaning is getting everyone down - especially the way that Jill is being used by the family - at 85! Lucy attributes it to misguided guilt - but I reckon it is just mis-use of the character. Yes Ruth deserves some sympathy - but she needs to get involved and talk to David - it works both ways. Comparisons of Ruth's behaviour to Rob are also growing, particularly over her lack of loyalty to David.Speakpipe is working again. Lucy thanked all the DumTeeDummers for their excellent online behaviour - all the best listeners are here. And it appears that they are all extremely glamorous as well - just as well I was not there! Lucy was obviously still feeling delicate - no alcohol this week - just water and tea!Millie provided the usual update from the rest of the interwebby world and would welcome more posts on the DTD facebook page.Justin Elliott is coming across far nastier than before (Lucy has changed her view over his wanting his name on the village hall) - but no-one has pointed out that the reason that I feel Justin employs Charlie. The two of them are perhaps of a similar sexual persuasion (and possibly have previously had a relationship). It is unusual for Simon Williams to take a "nasty" role!Beth Miller joined the podcast to talk about her book "For the Love of the Archers" and is interviewed by Roifield about her long time Archers fandom. It is an update of "An Unofficial Companion" from about 4 years ago.KosmoOn this week’s episode we have calls from:Miss Mid City who wants to know what Ruth’s problem isWitherspoon who feels sorry for CharlieVicky Cole who doesn’t understand Roband Blithe Spirit who wants to say thank you.

Dum Tee Dum Episode 83 – A nice short show with Kate Unwin

Lucy revealed she will be coming to the DTD “dinner” in a blouse and nothing else apparently. Reports awaited. There may still be opportunities to join the party. Lucy has abandoned double entendres in favour of single ones – dumbing down for the masses!

Kate Unwin is a new listener and first time callerinerer who phoned in because Roifield had told her to do so – the power he wields! She knows Annabelle Dowler having worked with her and Kate has also been appointed as a new member of Roifield’s wonder women! Lucy also has a new member of her posse. Scruff is haunting Angus Haggis, whilst Witherspoon and everyone else is glad that Jill is returning to Brookfield given the poor writing over the ineptitude of the Brookfield residents to undertake any housework ever.

Mark my words there will be Grundies at Bridge Farm by the New Year when the Sterlings decide not to return from Italy. Deborah predicted this as a tweet but I don’t think Oliver will die – because he has children who would inherit the farm; so they will be tenants.

Why has everyone forgotten that the Bridge Farm brand name has been dead ever since Clarrie’s e-coli outbreak? It is all called Ambridge Organics now – so it has to be the Ambridge Tea Room!

And if you have Skype you can now call in to the podcast although Roifield thinks that the cache will clear and Speakpipe will work again soon.

Dum Tee Dum Episode 85 – Andrew Horn takes the Helm

Sponsorship this week from UrbanSprawl.org.uk and Barwick Green by Aunty Jean plus William the parrot who was upset at not being included last week. Andrew Horn was sitting in for Roifield, providing he did not do it as well as the man himself.Lucy nailed Ruth's stroppiness - pointing out that she has just dropped over 30 years and turned into a teenager. And Jenny's old kitchen has finally found a home in the village hall. How long has that story been maturing?Opinions on Lynda swing violently depending on the time of year. Much praise for Tony for standing up to Rob. We are reminded of some back stories this week - particularly Helen's illness when born and how she weak was then leading Pat to being particularly protective of her daughter and therefore siding with Rob over the danger of driving, bearing in mind the last accident involving Mike.Roifield was given a long task list, Andrew is on the Colombian free trade and he was joined by Lucy. Andrew also revealed the secret life of a chorister.Millie Belle reported a bumper crop of activity on Facebook - particularly with Ambridge becoming Ruthless (for only two weeks!) and David referring to getting shot by being late for the restaurant booking!There were a lot of callers this week:Paul Douglas predicted that Rob's parents would reveal that he has previously only fathered girls.Michelle Lafferty is another first time caller and acknowledges that David is not jerk - but just being a farmer.Claire from Scotland via Canada who thinks Ruth needs help expressing herselfJacqueline Bertho turned the focus onto Pip who has effectively replaced Ruth everywhere except in David's bed.Miss Mid City can see no sense in Ruth's decision to go - but hopes she will not come back. After all Ruth cannot run away from herself.Nosila and Witherspoon majored on Helen's problems and Pat's siding with Rob - but there are reasons from history.FInally Vicky Cole is incredulous with Alan and there were crickets in the background
