DTD: 213 – The week after Nic’s passing and Will Grundy is as loathsome as ever.
Lucy is finding the “Will” bits very hard to hear and the ups and downs of dealing with bereavement by the various Grundy family members is proving very difficult at the moment. Joe (Edward Kelsey) provided a really definitive touching performance this week so gets the clap from Roifield. The future for Mia and Jake is unclear – they seem to have returned to Will from Andrew – is this a little odd as they have not been shown to have a close relationship with Will? Miss Mid City reckons the grim reaper has been calling for the wrong people […]
DTD: 212 – Nic Grundy RIP
Huw Kennair-Jones came, tried to mop up after Sean O’Callaghan and then decided to return to telly box programmes having unjustly murdered Nic Grundy who had undergone a complete personality transplant including believing she was destined for hell prior to her untimely demise from sepsis but the poor quality BBC microphones could not pick up whatever Joe’s ears could. Talk about unbelievable with modern digital technology! Inevitably the story has touched many listeners who have had experiences related to the loss of relations in unexpected situations and there are some powerful stories recounted by contributors. Can I also welcome some […]
DTD: 211 – Will Grundy’s love of feudalism and other hot button Archers topics
Mayhem in the studios as Roifield entertains Lucy with his production capabilities with this week’s recording getting underway with a huge pause! Brian Aldridge was definitely channelling “Carry On …” films this week “Infamy, infamy; they’ve all got it in for me!”. And Nic seems to be getting an unduly large amount of airtime this week – she gets sacked and then spends Valentine’s evening with Joe plus having a row with her best friend Emmur. Complete attack of the Personality Transplant Fairy – all so far out of character. There appears to be a lot of crap mentioned in […]
DTD: 210 – Again there’s bad news for the Aldridges and a presenter falls down the stairs
Time for our everyday story of podcasting folk. Robert is slowly recovering from his bruised pubis and we heard nothing about his possible speeding offence. This week however he decided to fall down some stone steps at work and has had to complete health and safety forms. Meanwhile Lucy has no heating and it is only 2 deg (presumably centigrade) inside her house. Robert explained (mansplained even?) how to fill a hot water bottle from a kettle to keep warm and Lucy decided that as there was only one hot water bottle she was having it and the kids could […]
DTD: 209 – “Gotcha!” Chemical Aldo dragged before baying mob
Dr Nicola Headlam gets to headline the DumTeeDum opening again with the Archers Academics day coming soon. Lucy with a slightly muffled and unscheduled Robert guide us through the somewhat strained waters of the week in Ambridge as there were cups of tea (from a proper teapot – hence the straining) and cake everywhere this week! The waters then got choppy when there was a village meeting over the TCE and even choppier when David learned that Lizzie knew about Toblerone first! Toxoplasmosis is rumoured to be on the horizon. Meanwhile the real week in the Freeman and Brown households […]
DTD: 208 is Toby growing up and is Brian going to serve time at her majesty’s pleasure?
Jenny Dahling stars in this week’s village round up with great support from Home Farm events and Toby being a five year old father. Luckily as our hosts point out that whole story is about Toby growing up – echoing my comments about Toby merely being a younger version of Kenton – next week Toby will make it to 6! Robert (Naked Fingers) announces he is very much “Team Toby”. Lucy also knows that the builder responsible for the “Totally Contaminated Environment” is the long missing and lamented Brummie Builder – Jason – who stays in the memories of many […]
DTD: 207 – Kate and Nolly bond plus fatherhood stories.
Hosts this week are Roifield and Lucy with Millie Belle on social media duties. Roifield is still struggling with the new technology – he has buttons to push! Similarly Jenny had difficulty pushing and pulling Peggy into and out of the car. Lucy is very confused by having two Lyndas – they are easy to tell apart as only one of them has a sniff whilst the other needs clipping. I am confused over Spiritual Home. Firstly Brian points he has been subsidising it and coughing up money for shopping trips; within days it is so successful that it can […]
DTD: 206 – Lexi, Pip, the end of Kefir and more Ambridge goings on
Welcome to another sideways look at the DumTeeDum week featuring Robert Wilson and Lucy Freeman reporting on the events in Ambridge as broadcast by the BBC. First up this week is the never-ending barrel of Tumble Tussock cider which is immediately followed by Derek’s sex robot; the latter was of course merely a wig on an “Alexa”, which Robert worries about keeping clean! Lucy had a justifiable rant in the middle of the comedic review of the week over the nonsense of Helen and Pip having troubles over being single mums, compared with most single parents. Both have huge support […]
DTD: 205 Happy New Year, Lets recap the last two weeks in Ambridge – Pip rage!
Lucy starts strongly by completely avoiding mention of the wedding which did not happen and which wasted hours of Archers time but none of the podcast! Thank you Lucy. Roifield called it a fraud perpetrated by the writers and the editor. Much appreciation for Noluthando was expressed. Noluthando has helped Peggy with music, is keeping Freddie almost on the straight and narrow and can sort out Kate – as well as providing treatments at Spiritual Home! Blithe Spirit reckons that again the characters are being twisted to suit weak stories – it is not the fault of the writers, simply […]
