Official podcasting platforms are ditched in favour of Zoom. My perennial war cry is that if Roifield (and I mean Roifield?) can deliver an excellent clean Zoom recording outside a studio of numerous participants (well three – Quentin and Rosie) of which only one is anywhere near Birmingham (I think) and the others are spread in other countries – why can the BBC not manage six proper episodes a week.
My two-pennorth is that if Kirsty was cooking the books how in heaven’s name did she miss the non-payment of Income Tax and NI deductions being “not paid” to HMRC through the bank given that anyone running a payroll system has to report the deductions to HMRC at the time the payroll is processed and they send nasty demanding letters as and when the cash does not turn up? (Not forgetting the NEST payments collected by DD). I also dispute she was “doing the books” . Philip would have all the receipts, invoices and other documents at his yard where the “horses” were “stabled” – remember the fuss when she turned up there once?
There may be the kernel of a good story hidden in these shenanigans and fol de rols but it is certainly not being played out with any sense in what used to be “The Archers” but seems to have once again become a plaything and soapbox for an eccentric – who should shout his mouth at Speaker’s Corner if it ever re-opens and not in our favourite docudrama!
