We interview Paul Trueman about the Just Giving campaign for Helen Titchener. https://www.justgiving.com/helentitchener
Podcast guest this week is Paul Trueman, a 10 year listener, who was “switched on” to the real life abuse suffered by Helen Walmsley-Johnson writing in the New Statesman together with Helen Titchener’s failure to get an afternoon out with Henry (which is lucky as no steam railways are running midweek at this time of year – so he would not have had a ride). Paul set up a “Rescue Helen” fund on Just Giving with the money raised going to Refuge. At the time of writing the fund is close to £50000 in just over a week.
Lucy is enjoying Brian at present – particularly when Lilian extended her residence at Home Farm in front of Justin. Brian has not got a leg to stand on and Jenny is exerting her dominance over Brian! Is she abusing him? The entertainment factor was lifted by the return of Kate who has no control of her budget. Lucy admitted to being drugged up – on painkillers and diarolite; just as well as her buns have gone missing.
Roifield revealed, at some length, that whilst he was quite taken by most types and modes of music he failed to extract any pleasure from the Metallica concert at the Superbowl (was the game any good?) and retreated to the bar.
Jan from Cannes agrees with Kosmo and also highlighted Rob physically manhandling Helen for the first time. Witherspoon wants live streaming of the 100th episode recording. The recording levels mismatch for Henry is pointed – this used to be avoided in the Archers when “Shula” was able to voice the children. Since they commenced using real children they have never managed to get the levels rightly integrated. Currently it undermines belief and they need to rethink it.
Yokel Bear turned up to tell us that what happened in Brighton was gambling – because Toby is a gambler pure and simple. Lucy believes that Child Maintenance in Hastings is probably after Toby for money for a child.
Thanks to Millie for her round up of happening on the web related to the Archers. And there are some wonderful discussions on the website.
By next week we hope YoKel Bear will be over his nerves and be used to talking to Lucy and will be standing in a sitting position in place of Roifield.

On this week’s episode we have calls from
Julie Atkinson who wants Roif to sort things out with Google
Witherspoon who thinks that Brian should not give in.
Yokelbear who has an empty dance card
and
Blithe Spirit who likes hungover Jim.
