DTD: 326 – Robert Snell gets some love and even Shula gets a little too

Snog, Marry or Kill.  Our hosts originally played this with The Archers characters many years ago, probably before I started writing summaries.   I won’t comment on their choices.  Being much older and therefore a longer term listener I think I will look back into history and high on the long term snog list is probably Siobhan – that voice!  And Caroline of course – for a similar reason.  Marry – oddly if I could have the racy somewhat horse mad Shula but I am of course forewarned by her later re-incarnation so I think the solid goodness of Clarrieluv […]

DTD: 325 – A long episode to help you through the Coronas, its The Archers plus Bob Marley and Ajax of Amsterdam

Lucy’s monologue steals gently into your ears and then stomps all over your brain as it completely subverts your memory of the ongoing events in Ambridge.  Lynda and Robert are delivering some wonderful performances and I think we should all be grateful that Graham Blockley retired and became available to make a far larger contribution on air.    In a clear acknowledgement of his abundance of spare time, Roifield admitted he had notes on events this week and had even researched items in relation to callers’ comments!  This research appears to consist largely of potted histories of the contrast between […]

Kathy Come Home – Ambridge True Crime

Lucy Freeman investigates the disappearance of Kath Perks

DTD: 324 – Was Ed right to reject Emma and Dumteedum makes national news

DumTeeDum is a phenomenon according to Lucy and Roifield on the grounds that it has became a Mirror headline and achieved more column inches than any other podcast last week, anywhere in the world.  The BBC news reports were particularly outstanding as they misspelt Mr Molloy’s name!  However Lucy does not choose that as Headline of the Week preferring instead “Private Eye” which reportedly asked visitors not to go looking for Borchester, Felpersham or the Ambridge village green at present.   How do you solve a problem like Lynda?  Sadly I do not have the skills of Rodgers and Hammerstein […]

DTD: 323 – Lindy feels helpless and Robert can do no right

Am I allowed to say that Lucy got her knickers in a twist in her week in Ambridge?  Apparently not.  Anyway Adam and Brian run Home Farm (and not BL as mentioned by Lucy) which houses the sheep producing the lambs which Josh was employed to mind so that Ian could swan off and leave Adam holding the baby.  Also for those wondering why Kate was so nice to Lynda it may be useful for me to recall long forgotten events of more than 20 years ago when Lynda provided an arm around the shoulder and a calming influence to […]
