Roifield returns this week with Philippa alongside him and the first discussion point is Mia’s crush.  If she has any sense it will be Lee who is clearly a fine figure of a man as we will all discover next week.  Otherwise what does Helen see in him?  Penniless divorced man has to have something going for him!   The Flick app has been given a flick of the finger and move made to Clubhouse.  Roifield obviously likes clubbing.    Listening to this podcast was interrupted by an urgent need to go and get my second anti-covid injection.  12 weeks […]

This week the guest presenter chair go round ran out of steam as Quentin, Rosie and Philippa took total control and Roifield was relegated to watching the recording levels, flicking a few switches and leaving the new team to express varied views on Justin as a daffodil, Lilian and her grey rabbit, Rex’s piggies (which seemed to be particularly appealing to Lily), Jazzer going off fish, Tracy learning about Greek sex whilst Alice wants to leave home.   Ambridge Pony Club wants Rex as Lord Emsworth, but in reality Jazzer probably has the better relationship with pigs.  Rex has never […]

Given that there was a weird overlap between model railways (Tony) and super heroes (Lee) in the barn at Bridge Farm during the week it was hardly a surprise when Roifield was able to extol his knowledge of the super heroes.  Regrettably Philippa does not seem to have an extensive knowledge of model trains but did impress her husband with knowledge of the non-green Hulk – which is apparently simply a printer error.   I feel that four episodes a week remains a huge problem.  We are constantly being dunked in excess quantities of alcohol with Alice so that other […]

Quentin Rayner and Rosie Porty are alongside Roifield this week as we settle down to listen to another Archers podcast having avoided being seduced by couches or cider sheds which are appalling trip hazards invented to subvert the podverse.   Trazzer is re-instated and Jade gets dumped on her birthday.  Frankly Jade’s peanut trick was a step too far and was her death warrant on her first appearance.  Somewhat strangely I don’t think the writers or listeners have the faintest idea how or why Kirsty has managed to hang on to her house in Beechwood so that she can rent […]

The guest host with Roifield this week is Philippa .  I have a sister with the same name but a different spelling.  My father always got the blame for the “wrong” spelling as he was despatched to register the birth and the spelling which she bears is I believe almost unique out of the various possibilities which exist.  Hence if it appears wrongly spelt in these summaries then my father is to blame.   What has happened to the story about Adam and Ian being hard up?  Why drop in a silly half reference like that and not mention it […]

All change on the good ship DumTeeDum as Roifield will be leaving his regular seat hosting the podcast and Quentin, Rosie and Philippa will become regulars as Keri and Pete also stand down from the host positions.  Somehow I think all three departing will still be heard one way or another.  Roifield has new job opportunities – and after 7 years he feels that he has talked about the Hebden Lloyd backside for far too long.   Susan Carter was in her element this week as the nonsense stories of re-wilding with Longhorns and sewer pipes plus the continuing car […]

Keri and Pete are yoked in harness this week to review events in Ambridge.  This is the one where our much loved Kirsty kept running around the village causing huge upset amongst the villagers who may or may not be in Lynda’s latest extravaganza.  Luckily as is always the case it will be alright on the night.    Tracy shows a trace of humanity telling Jazzer about the pain of childbirth whilst Clarrie winds up Susan over her need to be an expert horsewoman.  In turn Clarrie winds up 70 year old Eddie over eating proper food by getting him […]
