We get an upgrade on Roifield this week when he is replaced by the many voices of Shambridges, so we variously hear from Kate, Alice, Clarrie, Susan, Joy, Kirsty, Lily as well as renditions of the sex noises of many Archers characters! We do at times hear from Lucy and Harriet themselves but throughout much of the podcast the giggles of one drowns out the wise words of the other.
As this was their second recording I can honestly say that the extra rehearsal has had no impact on the quality of the performances. It is also surprising that the jokes are so good that they are laughing at them twice!
Joy’s contribution is much discussed but her background (and Leonard likewise) enables the team in the studio to use the opportunity of the newbies to explain the Archer family tree as well as basic rural activities such as tupping which is on Leonard and Jill’s mins much to David’s disgust – parents are not supposed to have sex. Who kissed Bella is likely to be a matter of some import. I wonder if she got tupped?
Finally an observation on cars. In a village the size of Ambridge is it really possible that there would be three classic car enthusiasts, two of whom have the same model? Madge and her dodgy diaphragm seem highly unlikely.

Lots of calls and impressions
Couldn’t listen to this because of all the inane
Giggling. The sound balance was twice as loud for the giggler which made it even worse.
Usually enjoy the show but this was just torture.
