Roifield returns as the straight guy to guide Lucy through the comical world of a week in Ambridge; unbearable Ursula sleeping in a nonexistent bedroom at Blossom Hill Cottage, wacky baccy Wayne baking at the Bull, Bert the builder & his egg-mobile barouche, Johnny and his chick collection plus Brookfield at Borchester market.
Ro.i.field feels Lucy should stop worrying about how quickly Ed recovered from his crack cocaine addiction; Roifield also likes “Brief Encounter” because it has resonances for him whilst Lucy retains her non-belief in romance of any description. Lucy even dreams about the Archers these days with Helen Baxendale playing Helen Titchenor.
One poorly plotted Friday transmission has destroyed the hard work on the Rob/Helen storyline. Roifield and Lucy have recognised that it is now pantomime (oh no it isn’t, oh yes it is). Roifield then loses it with a lengthy diatribe over how dumbfounded he was by this twist in events and dropped his bacon sandwich.
Derek has planned the live DTD recording to start at 19:00 on Monday 7 March (Kosmo’s birthday) which will prevent the participants hearing The Archers – which clearly shows good planning. The recording may commence late.
Kosmo is resigning as John West has replaced him. Kosmo has not been invited on DumTeeDum!
It was a bit of a Roifield week – obviously having a week off has fired him up!
