DTD: 256 – A Christmas Dumteedum

Christmas has not quite arrived but goodwill abounds as Naked Fingers & Lucy deliver this week’s pre-Christmas podcast. Hopefully LNER allowed Lucy’s friend free travel home from Edinburgh after she was diverted from Gatwick due to the drones (I thought there were enough of those on the Archers!). Robert seems fixated on the possibility of Carpet Burns displaying his own naked backside during the Canterbury Tales.  And why didn’t Roy jet wash Emma Grundy?  Lucy has a plotlet prediction for Beavis & Butthead but the timeline does not work.  Xmas lunch at Brookfield is shimmering like a mirage on the […]

DTD: 253 – Natasha rubs Pat up the wrong way and Lucy is back

Lucy returns and with Roifield gets down to sorting out the differences between a to do (more often a right to do), a brouhaha and a hoo haa. Subtle differences but a scale is decided as follows: Hoo Haa – lot of fuss about nothing To Do – more admin heavy says Lucy Brouhaha – even more fuss than a Hoo Haa And a “Set To” probably involves some physical violence between two people. Then they get back to The Archers. Much speculation on the mystery visitor arriving or returning to Ambridge at Christmas and who is no doubt the […]

Ep: 252 Roy and Lexi are done and other Ambrigde goings on

Angela Barnes sits in again for Lucy this week and Roifield had almost forgotten they were going to record so it is a miracle it turned up at all! Angela has had no time to write Lucy’s week in Ambridge so we skip right to a discussion of events. Roifield has lost all interest in the Lexi & Roy story as there has never been much of a portrayal of the relationship and it now seems to have fallen apart without explanation. Lexi only now seems to be resident to pursue Adam and Ian’s baby production and that seems pretty […]

DTD: 251 – Getting old and Roy’s tin Ear with Angela Barnes

Angela Barnes joins Roifield to talk all matters Ambridge this week. The script gets amended on the fly by Angela and then she gives us her week in the village with a very early double entendre as a rabbit and then a pussy appear as if out of a top hat. Following the sex Angela then gets onto drugs at the age of 94. No mention of rock and roll that I heard, no chance of dropping off to sleep either because Angela is taking it all at high speed (sorry more drugs). Roifield reckons this week is better than […]

DTD: 250 – A very British understated episode

Roifield has not done this 249 times before (honestly) so he gets off to a completely false start this week forgetting to play the DumTeeDum or the copyright notice before setting light to the weekly fireworks. Eventually he gets it all together! Then Lucy goes off with a big bang as she covers the week in Ambridge and in a display worthy of any Catherine Wheel she spins round the Ambridge stories of the week. None of the jokes sputter out uselessly unlike the fireworks I used to buy. She delivers a real sparkler of a review ending with an […]
