See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In line with the output from microphones in Ambridge our hosts quickly turn to discussing films rather than Ambridge.  Why is this important in Ambridge?  Listen to hear Lucy's theory - she takes three minutes of discourse to tell us!  More importantly, the mad driving in Ambridge is being signposted every two minutes and it seems inevitable that someone is going to cop it - who wil...

This week the rendition of Barwick Green came from the Academic Archers conference at Lincoln - the largest number of voices ever! Huge proof of the ever growing community brings tears to the eyes of Lucy and Roifield. Roifield's mum said "Well done son!"Lucy is in full flow with the monologue covering the Home Farm party, Miranda, who kept turning up everywhere, Burns and the cricket team, Freddi...

On this week’s episode, we have a tribute to Sara Coward who played Caroline Sterling from Kosmo, Lucy and the New York meet up posse. Lucy is living it up in New York this week and brings us a huge Barwick Green opening from the Big Apple posse of DumTeeDum who are out in force for her royal visit. The DumTeeDummers reflect on Caroline Bone and her contribution to The Archers over nearly 40 years...

Well who knew? Roifield mentioned Hardeep Singh Kohli last week and amazingly he listens to the Archers, DumTeeDum and will be joining the podcast next week for an interview, with Roifield observing that it will be nice to have someone funny on the show for once. Lucy was predictably miffed - but still delivered an amazing monologue examining in detail Pip and Toby's relationship. Relationship? Re...

The DumTeeDum this week comes from the recently retired Queen Bee (Director) of BBC Radio - Helen Boaden. Several times in this podcast The Archers is credited with getting people into radio and/or drama. This is wonderful and long may it continue. Following Lucy's entertaining and enjoyable monologue (which briefly manages to review Anisha's bush and Rex's interest therein) the podcast gets extre...

Lucy and Roifield are running on time this week, it is the summary which is late! Nosila opens proceedings with a kazoo provided by I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue. Then Kosmo is told to sod off – but he is still writing podcast summaries, honest. Lucy discusses Lily’s party at great length as she is unable to discuss Lilian telling Justin about Rob as the microphones were not working at the time. Anyw...

On this week’s episode we have calls fromClaire who thinks Roy is going to play daddyYokelbear who’s feeling fighty Claire thinks we need to ask Toby the Brighton questionGlyn who’s suspicious of BrianRobert who’s Lucy’s favourite slightly drunk fantasist Debs who wants to push Rob over the edgeDan John VII says Freddie’s in good companyBlithe Spirit who thinks Justin’s loathsomeandWitherspoon who...

Some of us can claim to have listened to 150 episodes of this podcast and have survived bouts of laughter to split our sides, crying enough to drown; the impact of tent flaps, tuna custard bake, scotch egg buns in ovens, stuffed culvert gate, Haugh gate and murdering mother in the motorway services. So time for another 30 minutes (if you believe that you will believe anything) of merriment in the...

Normality returns for some value of normal. Lucy monologues, the callers call in and Roifield is extremely smug. Mexican wifi is pretty flaky so this summary will stopAnd start. Roifield is smug because Kirsty has the Scotch Egg in the oven as predicted and I am grateful to Paul Roome for providing all of the evidence. Lucy was far more concerned about the lack of dressmaking knowledge by the writ...

A New Year special edition where Tim Bentinck (who sounds very like David Archer) recalls seeing in many New Years at Brookfield and other stories from the farm at the centre of Ambridge - including the man who must not be named (Sam the cowman) who almost wrecked David's marriage to Ruth. Roifield points out that The Archers is particularly good at mentioning birthdays and anniversaries - particu...

Once again the alternatives are taking over the asylum as Lucy and Roifield stand aside to allow Messrs Andrew Horn and YokelBear to seize control of the podcast and the recording deck is still showing signs of Christmas decorations as they start with a mega rendition of Barwick Green actually from Barwick in Elmet. YokelBear is fascinated by the impact of Toby on the Brookfield Archers - bad boys...

To Celebrate Xmas, todays episode is a little different, we take a look back at some Christmas storylines in Ambridge over the years with Terry Molloy, aka Mike TuckerMike's major depression nearly resulting in him topping himself on Boxing Day 1991 he was talked out of suicide by Kathy Perks, Terry what led Mike to this dark place? Is the panto important to the Archers and how is it possible to r...

So in your free weekly podcast what do you get? You get the following:a) A rendition of Barwick Green usually musical and often very good indeed, this week led by Aunty Jeanb) Banter between Lucy and Roifieldc) Lucy's monologue on the last week in Ambridge covered at high speed with bright lights shone into dark corners. The monologues are elsewhere on the Dumteedum sited) Banter between Lucy and...

The bickering starts early today as Lucy is correcting Roifield before he has completed the initial introductions. Then he tries to correct Lucy on the subject of the Premier League - never mind it does improve after that. Josh is turning into grass and we have to hope that no-one gets high when he goes up in smoke. Kosmo comments: historically the farmers used Field Reconnaissance Vehicles - but...

Our hosts have an interesting discussion over the current story lines which are somewhat "meh" as far as Lucy is concerned whilst Roifield feels that the Pip and Toby extravaganza is finding different ways of investigating the Archer family dynamics. Pulling the wide variety of story lines together shows that our favourite fly on the wall documentary is back on the sort of form we should be enjoyi...

On this week’s episode we have calls fromYokelbear who’s boredChristine who’s still globetrottingandWitherspoon who’s confused. The show is sponsored Sarah Passingham and Whizz Kids, whose mission statement is: 'We’re here to transform the lives of disabled children by providing the vital equipment, support and life skills they need to reach their full potential.' http://www.whizz-kidz.org.uk/Rude...

Absolutely splendiferous update from Lucy this week as the lively mix of Ambridge stories enables a wide ranging review of how not to recruit panto players. Then the mood turns darker as Roifield (who has embraced the madness of the post-truth world) explains to us all that whilst Rob might be a bit of a cad and a bounder the really nasty thing in the woodshed is JUSTIN ELLIOTT who is going to exp...

Roifield is away so Harriet and Lucy are in high pitched hollering harpy harness for our weekly update. Before all that however we hear tales of their childhood activities with Harriet running wild in the Wallops and Lucy still cringing with embarrassment in the supermarket at the memory of the most obvious murder mystery stories ever. And that is before Lucy tells Harriet to ignore the script! Wi...
