Lucy assures us that in isolation Derek and Christine are learning Swedish which is particularly useful as that country has decided not to go into complete lockdown and does not seem to be suffering from maintaining their economy at a workable level.  Interesting approach.   For those who do not know what they were talking about information on Bod can be found on that link.  You Tube has various bits (and Bods).   The time dilation effect which has distorted the village and the lack of the virus can be traced back to a single moment in time as Red Agnes […]

DTD: 322 - The cabin fever episode... Play Now | Download

A mega-sized podcast has been delivered by our hosts this week as the world needs Sanatogen in these difficult times and DumTeeDum is a very good tonic.  With everyone locked down at home the number of callers is way off the normal scale!   Lucy commences with a very colourful “Week in Ambridge” – well Ben’s car is colourful.  I think Lucy has upped the levels of nudity and sexual innuendo this week as well as decrying the Krusty Cruelty stories.  Meanwhile Roifield is hailed as the conquering hero by himself and everyone else for identifying the hyper villainous and […]

Roifield expresses views which I suspect are widely held.  As he says if Lynda survives she will be a very different person and much changed – is that what we want from “The Archers”?    Graham Blockley, as many of us know, was in his professional life before retirement a doctor (he was using his holidays to appear on the programme) and delivered a master class in being the distraught husband.  The terrible stories of recent weeks have been written to demonstrate Lynda’s value to the village – we knew the storieswere strange and characters were behaving oddly – now […]

Roifield opens proceedings with a message from Andrew Horn who is promising a get together in London in April.  However by the time this summary went to press it had been cancelled as by the proposed date Central London will be a no-go zone over-run by zombies and other exotic creations from the computer gaming universe which have survived the coronavirus.  Obviously they will be drinking Corona beer and Corona lemonade.   The utterly lazy writing where an individual does not have the opportunity to respond (as with Lynda being silenced by Freddie this week) has happened too frequently recently […]
