Dum Tee Dum Episode 81 – Two calls Ducks, Geese and Greece

A multi-national Dum Tee Dum opened the show which this week was sponsored by Water Aid. Speakpipe might be playing up – so calls were limited this week. As a result Roifield was desperately filling – linking tv zombies to botulism and salmonella in chicken where with some surprise he could reveal that the incidence of salmonella in US chickens is decreasing. Sounded like a ramble in the countryside for me. K J England blames Rob for hiding Scruff in the silage – but this is pretty unlikely as the silage was made after the flood. So Rob is probably […]

Monologue 13 October 2015

It was a week red in tooth and claw in Ambridge this week. Ferreting, lamping, dead rabbits everywhere, funeral plans….. But obviously the storyline we’re all most concnered about, and the one that’s getting harder to listen to, is Jill and her gigantic room at Lower Loxley. The scrollwork’s getting on her wick and she doesn’t like the curtains. I don’t know how she carries on, personally. Gemma Hawkins is having a goose this year, you know. Just thought you should know. Jerome’s gone to Belgium, Roscoe Joliffe’s at the bottling plant and Roy’s following up those dentures. So that’s […]

Omnibus Reflections – 4th October 2015

Good on you, Pip – so determined not to miss the last cricket match of the season. (Errr… has she been heard at any of the previous matches this year? Too busy being goosed by the Fairbretheren this summer, perhaps?) One minute this is a dull-as-ditchwater match that Hooty Jill did well to avoid, the next it’s a last-minute-nailbiter that goes down in the annals of village history. And what about that run-rate?! How fast did those opening batsmen notch up over a hundred runs? Sounds like Titchynob’s final slog wasn’t quite the matchsaver everyone was going on about.  This […]

Omnibus Reflections 20th September 2015

Hooty Jill treats her cooking with all the taut complexity of neurosurgery. Can she really trust Pip with the preperation of a few beans and handing over the sacred trust of frying the bacon? However will young Pip cope with such grave responsibility? But I notice the shrill note of terror in David’s voice when Ruth’s resumption of the domestic chores is mentioned. “We mustn’t let that happen!!!” #CasseroleOfTheApocalypse If ever there was a week for Bert to be played by Sid James, this was it. “Mrs Tregorran’s marrows are coming up a treat! Yuk Yuk Yuk!” (And Jill’s no […]

The Order of John Archer

The origin of this ancient order is lost in the midst of time. There is mention of it in the footnotes of the Magna Carta and Bede makes reference to it in his Anglo Saxon Chronicles. Roifield revived the order some podcasts ago after realising that a long dead but beloved character of the show John Archer, had the same name as this order. He took the idea to Lord Netherbourne that Dumteedum could revive this old chivalric “gong” To be awarded the order of John Archer you need to either have a “John” on your birth certificate or to tell […]
