DTD: 317 Lucy told me the title it’s in the show but I’ve forgotten what she said

The title this week is, according to Lucy: “The one where Roifield and Lucy don’t talk about the biggest storyline in The Archers and then actually talk about it!”.  I agree with one point.  Robert Snell would not endorse cheating; the whole thing is making a nonsense of the characters.  These two women have a grandchild in common so no doubt they will soon be tearing Mungo in half.   Lucy rules as we all acknowledge.  As ever she excels with her week in Ambridge covering the tiny stories (Johnny’s bald spot) and the large dramatic excesses – Lynda’s sit […]

DTD: 316 – The best ever monologue and does Neil Carter iron his underpants

Downloading the Omnibus this week in Cuba this week was a little tricky.  My assumption was that the authorities were taking a view contrary to the UK Government that BBC Radio 4 is far too right wing, but potentially it was merely dodgy WiFi.    A question – what would you prefer – a review of my Cuban excursion or a summary of this week’s podcast?  Spoilsports.    Let us compare Ambridge & Cuba: Similarities The economic systems are totally impenetrable The weather can defy expectations  There are hints of religion in both but it is pretty rare The guide […]

DTD: 315 Its all about money, Roifield is righter than right!

I spent a good half of this podcast thinking “whoosh” when Lucy mentioned Philip Schofield leaving a broom cupboard rapidly in the “Week in Ambridge” unless he had intruded on Boris Becker enjoying a blow job (which usually involves a lot of sucking).  This appeared along with crinolines, the crocodile in Peter Pan, a real German resident and warning noises from defibrillators in this week’s podcast.  Eventually all became clear as the joke was explained and of course he did spend a long time in a link room cabin earlier in his career.    There was a need for cross over in […]

DTD: 314 – Coming out in Ambridge

Those of us who reside in the UK receive DumTeeDum with added advertising.  However for some curious reason whoever is adding the adverts is playing around with my aural nerves, a couple of weeks ago it was definitively Kirsty (gathers no Moss) Miller giving me earache during the ads and this week (again) if it was Sgt (I cannot possibly get dressed up now in a kilt) Carpet Burns lecturing me about box sets and Game of Thrones (a modest drama compared with The Archers).  Stop it Roifield, we might actually want to buy some of their offerings!   Neil […]
