DTD: 313 – is Josh Archer a wrong ‘un and more chat about Jim and Jazzer
Roifield has not only started using a new and hopefully better platform for the podcast but he has also tempted Lucy out of her office and in front of a camera so that this week if you go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRSvdygGvLM&fbclid=IwAR2SG5xmUjSmWo47Ax0L6ZcjbYjTblcr6LlRD580EPkZMV34-5R5QuJzzds you can actually see the star of the show and her weekly (and as Roifield pointed out later high speed) discourse on events in Ambridge. Go there and you will find DumTeeDum TV and of course in future we will all be saying “Hello You Tubers”, which is not an unpleasant root vegetable. Callers have two main subjects this week. Philip […]
DTD: 312 Philip Moss is given a going over by Dumteedumers
Roifield postulates a DumTeeDum team building session during this podcast and this gave me food for thought, the first one being to ask myself how quickly I can resign to prevent being dragged on such a day. I have never experienced a “team building day” and I feel such monstrosities have long outlived their usefulness. Remember if you are part of a team you owe allegiance to your boss until you can stab him/her in the back and take his job. If you are the boss keep your back to the wall at all times. Anyway Lucy knows how […]
DTD: 311 – This episode is long and penetrates deep into the Archers
During this week’s podcast a ruffled Roifield expresses concern that my little summaries are being unfair about him. I won’t mount a defence – but there remain unanswered questions about Philip, Gavin & money or like the mysterious spy (Mike Daly who in real life left for South Africa with the original Christine) will nothing ever be said? The tail biting pigs were central to Ambridge events as Neil had to off the perpetrator with his bolt gun. Neil’s softer side was demonstrated in his later discussion with Rex on proper pig welfare. Long standing village observers realised that […]
DTD: 310 – New Year musings on the Archers with Roifield and Lucy
Lucy gives us the best “Week in Ambridge” of the decade as Roifield notes and it certainly has him rolling in the aisles (I assume as we have not yet progressed to online videocasts of our hosts). The extreme number of oddities is mentioned by non-Earthling Andrew Horn and the concept of odd stories is expanded by our hosts as there seems no reason for: a) Jim being ill b) Kirsty preferring Helen’s advice over Roy’s sound and well founded guidance c) Phoebles taking advice and guidance from the evil Justin who was frankly doing a Trump (telling lies) […]

It’s that time of year again, when I gather together all of the Right You Ares and Hello You Twos that have been heard during the past year.

There are no prizes … this is just for fun. You can post your answers in the comment box below or send them to me at rightyouare1951@gmail.com. I will reply and tell you how many […]
DTD: 309 – How entitled is Gavin, Yokel Bear and Angela Barnes wade in
The presenter seats revolve once again so that Angela Barnes and Yokel Bear can bring us the last DumTeeDum of the decade as they discuss Christmas week in The Archers. Disquiet and unease appears rampant in the village this week as Tom decides that his father is using his huge sexual allure to lead Beechwood Joy into bad ways; which as the vicar appears to have abandoned the village to its deviant ways and does not even make a seasonal appearance means that devil is in the ascendant. Amusing was the absence of any interest by Pat in Tom’s […]
DTD: 308 – Festive Ambridge news with Yokel Bear and Andrew Horn
Showing true dedication to DumTeeDum, Roifield spends Christmas Day editing together what eventually becomes a delightful collection of pieces from our callerinerers, Andrew Horn bringing us a week in Ambridge, Yokel Bear impersonating Roifield etc as the original, no doubt award winning recording, got snafued by the technical elves who were done for speeding in Ambridge by Sgt (not good enough to be Santa) Carpet Burns. Whatever our hosts are paying for technical backup is far too much, should we blame Derek and is the back bedroom leaking? The week before Christmas seemed to be dominated by the Ambridge […]
