DTD: 262 – If you like your Dumteedums an hour long we apologise, this one has an extra 19 minutes.

Lucy emerges from under her woolly dog blanket to deliver her contribution in even warmer dulcet tones.  The changed circumstances however prevent her clapping good performances as it would displace her microphone! Callerinerer demographics appear to be changing as the Ambridge Academics encourage more of the world to listen to the podcast, spreading the word.  This week there is a distinct strength of Northern contributions eliminating the previous domination of Southern accents.  The outreach grows ever wider! Top of this week’s discussions were the pressure being heaped on Brian lead to his somewhat inevitable volte face over his court plea and the praise […]

The coal man cometh

This week’s podcast was brought to you courtesy of a woolly National Trust dog blanket. There were more calls than time allows so some editorial decisions have been made this week but hopefully all views were well represented. Ambridge is being dominated by business meetings this week; the strangest one was when Natasha was allowed to decide the future of Bridge Farm, despite the BBC budget being so tight that she could not physically attend the meeting and Tom had to find a signal in the yard. Will someone please invent landlines, oh I forgot – they don’t work when […]

DTD: 261 – Are Adam and Ian up for parenthood and Paul has no idea who he is.

Our hosts discuss recent events in Ambridge with particular focus on the news that it looks like Lexi might well be having Adam’s child. Given the hours which Adam and Ian work, together with Adam being 51 raises some questions as to howw the child will be raised. Although it has not yet been declared viable the sex is under discussion – what will produce the most interesting stories and perhaps two men raising a girl might be more complex than a boy. We shall see. Brian declaring his sudden intention to plead not guilty is bound to lead to […]

DTD 260: 800 residents of Ambridge? I say fiddlesticks!

Well the medical profession is doing its worse. The gall bladder was taken away in November and I was signed off as fit to travel (which is about all I normally do these days). Last Wednesday the first hand operation (Duputreyn’s contraction correction) took place and typing is now mainly left handed plus one finger of my right hand which means converting this week’s chortles on the DumTeeDum podcast to some semblance of reality is even more difficult than normal! Next up is the left hand of course. Housing problems outweigh farming matters in the Village at the moment. Roy […]

DTD: 259 – Brian’s affairs and giving thanks back to the listeners.

A little light jazz on sax to open “Hello You Two, right you are” as perhaps that is an appropriate title for Roifield and Lucy to adopt in place of dumteedum.  The big news is that “silent” Derek actually gets to call in this week.  Lucy is getting packed up at present – she is using packers so is considerably more upmarket than Jennifer. Lucy rapidly observes that Home Farm is going to be much altered.  The new owners have a party and the attendees have fun and do not indulge in tribal warfare as was the case under the […]

DTD: 258 – New Year, more Archers with added right you ares and hello you twos!

For those with an aversion to seedy side of life skip the first 90 seconds as the Dumteedum from Red Agnes contains a few unbleeped  swear words as she gets the podcast off to a Chaucerian start. The week of the lost bottom came to an end, no-one is accusing Bess of its desecration but Ben was strong-armed into making a replacement!  Indeed the blame seems to rest with a fox. So disappointed that no-one said Grace before (or indeed after) the somewhat odd pigeon & Black pudding terrine starter which is surely a long way off the plain hearty cooking […]

DTD: 257 – Roifield speaks to Ania, Annabelle and Tim – Lexi, Kirsty and David

Excerpts of some of the interviews Roifield did this year with some of the Archers cast.

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: 255 – Sophie Holford’s forgotten birthday and the evilness of Russ’ voice

On this week’s show we have calls from Glyn, Claire, Candida, Carol, Miles, Julie and Witherspoon.

DTD: 254 more talk about Ambridge and naked threats

This week Lucy has prepared a clean Ambridge alphabet and I have prepared another version just to confuse everyone. Kosmo On this week’s show we have calls from New York Nigel, Witherspoon, Kitty and Master Miles.
