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.

On this week’s episode we have calls from:
Miss Mid City who wants to know what Ruth’s problem is
Witherspoon who feels sorry for Charlie
Vicky Cole who doesn’t understand Rob
and Blithe Spirit who wants to say thank you.
