DumTeeDum - A show about BBC Radio's 'The Archers'

Lucy has taken a holiday as it is half term in the UK so after the very special episode 136 this episode concentrates on DumTeeDum's magnificent callerinerers. Ellen, a vet from Glasgow, reckons that llamas are pretty mean and do not like having their mouths looked at. A real expert commentary - this is why we have callers! Next up is Maeve who is locked out of Twitter so cannot vent in the normal...

David Archer aka Tim Bentinck and Mike Tucker aka Terry Molloy talk about actors who have passed on or left The Archers. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week in Ambridge Lucy has Roy in artificial fibres, Johnny being very hairy, Oliver looking after joints, Jill as a clown and armed with secateurs, Tony being run over with a Dyson, Susan as a strong black woman, listless Lynda getting sweet talked by Robert with assistance from Kate who has nothing better to do as the bottom has dropped out of the yurt market - this will probably amuse in th...

After a blockbuster Archers Omnibus, Lucy and Roifield deliver a blockbuster length DumTeeDum, coming in at over two hours not helped by Lucy having to explain snowdrops and Shaftesbury to Roifield. Lucy observes that Rob's truth addiction makes Jeffrey Archer looks like a harsh realist. She then went on to note how upset Ian was with Adam entering so many gentlemen's buttonholes. Joe, William, Ed...

We talk to Moriah Cohen, Sexual Assault Program Coordinator, from the Mount Sinai West and St. Luke's Hospitals NYC Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Lucy painted an alternative portrait of the week (including Sunday's jury discussions) outside Ambridge; packed with more jokes than there were jurors. Also far more villagers in the court than reported by the original microphones. More calls than ever as this phase of the story climaxes. Some were made before the verdict and some afterwards - so it is mixed bag of predictions and celebrations as...

Lucy returns to the podcast after three weeks away. She returns jet lagged (I know the feeling) and fails to count to three so her weekly round up is a week late. She then provides her usual knowledgeable commentary on the callers who are talking about the current week. No doubt she will have caught up with the rest of us by next week. Special powers were revealed - Lucy can predict what other peo...

No Lucy again this week so Roifield has the complex task of managing men as he is joined by Jed who does an amazing update on events in Ambridge, Terry Molloy, Yokel Bear and Andrew Horn. Despite initial objections they end up agreeing that the men are typically poorly written as characters with perhaps only Rob standing out from the crowd. It also tends to explain why Shula is having difficulties...

On this week’s episode we have calls from Steve who predicts that Pip and Toby are the new Romeo and JulietJojosexyheels who is reading the runes through the musicMiss Mid City, who is not happy at the legal aspects of Helens caseandWitherspoon who is dancing like he is in Rio and hating on Susan. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Harriet of Shambridges fame sits in with Roifield this week as Lucy is away and in place of the usual summary she provides a wonderful soundalike of various characters having phone sex with Justin. Yes like Lucy, Harriet is highly attuned to the extensive sexual activity now replacing the gaslighting. Roifield credits Smethurst with the affair between Kathy and DS Barry – but this happened some ye...

Another week another podcast. No summary last week in view of the poignant message from Tracy Chevin and this one is later than normal. There is a lack of new DumTeeDums to open the show – contributions are needed from all of us! Following her usual bedrock solid but rumbustious run down of Sex and the City, sorry The Archers (with added sex) Lucy was upbraided by Roifield for some alleged errors....

From Tracy Chevin: As you are aware, following on from my sponsorship of dumteedum, my husband was terminally ill with cancer. He sadly passed away on 18.6.16 at home with his family around him. He wasn't an archers fan but did listen along when I played dum tee dum. He was thrilled to be mentioned and that it'll be in the archives for me to look back on. This is Dumteedum the show about the reali...

Lucy has been watching sport and managed to include a load of joke balls but avoided the googlies, which is welcome. Then there is sport talk before turning to The Archers and Toby getting his legover, where we have to hope that this is not a repeat visit to infighting brothers (a la Grundies).I (Kosmo) sounded awful on my contribution and I admit I used a different tablet, so I blame Windows 10!...

We had a very sad email from Maisiejet this week. She says “Just wanted to say that I was introduced to Dum Tee Dum by my dear friend Ruth Johnson. She was an equally bonkers Archers Fan. Ruth died on 21/06/2016. This was sudden and unexpected but she had suffered poor health for a number of years.” Rest in peace, Ruth, and much love to you Maisiejet from the dumteedum family. On this week’s episo...

Top News: Lucy is celebrating her birthday and this was recognised in fine style by Roifield and a loyal fan singing "Happy Birthday". Lucy, in her monologue, noted that it was probably the first time any villager had thought to tell off Hooty Jill and then remarked once again on what a good friend Rex is to Pip - even when her unfunny drunken speech is used. It was pleasing to note that Pat has w...

Lucy opened with a highly topical monologue (also packed with jokes) which ended with reference to the need for 'Rexit'! Our hosts then discussed the political situation, Russian dashcam videos and then online videos of horrors being extracted from ears! The callers stick to discussing the Archers and the elderflower cordial index which is getting a lot of online coverage. Claire, a construction p...

DumTeeDum has been on a slight diet this week as it shrinks down to 76min. Proper acknowledgement is made of the contribution by Alan Devereux as Sid Perks by Roifield and I would add my personal recollection of the first ever Ambridge two hander when Kathy (Hedli Niklaus) challenged him on over the affair with Jolene in the Rovers Bar late one evening, when she was the last person in the village...
