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

Before noting how good Lucy's monologue was this week Roifield announced that it was inevitable that they would be disagreeing. It took a while before he admitted that he does not have the objection shown by some contributors to the intended liaison between Lilian and Justin. Lucy's objection is not moral - merely on the basis of self-esteem. Roifield is more supportive of Justin's wish for compan...

On this week’s episode we have calls from:The latest twist and turns in Ambridge have brought even dedicated listener Lucy to a deafening halt as she refuses to listen next week - which is lucky as there will be no podcast next week. She promises to listen the following week by when Roifield will be resettled in one of the colonies. Yes Lucy feels that the story Rob told the police was unbelievabl...

Another mega issue this week - not 30, not 60 but 113 minutes and we welcome Davros to the team in form of Terry Molloy who gives a great run down of his involvement in The Archers since 1973, how the programme process has hardly changed over the last 40 years as well as answering questions from callers, not only about being Mike but also in his other acting roles. Mike and the team recall some of...

A long week with this Podcast as the events following the murder attempt are dissected in the finest blood soaked detail. In reality not much happened in The Archers this week apart from following the police in action which is not the most humorous activity in the world. By the end of the week the police had detected that Rob had a tracker on Helen's phone (which some had guessed anyway) and not m...

A special edition this Thursday to mark Helen being formally arrested with a wounding charge. Roifield is in sole charge conducting three interviews. DTD have consulted Matthew Scott, a criminal barrister with 30 years of experience, a detailed blog and a keen legal mind who has joined the podcast at great cost. He wisely predicted a formal charge of attempted murder and explains some of the legal...

Roifield and Lucy normally try to avoid events on Sunday evening when they record on a Monday morning but this week the allegedly momentous happenings are covered in forensic detail. So spoilers for this week appear below. Although the sound of the knife dropping to the floor was missed the rest is covered with every bloody fingerprint examined. Well written, well performed and the sound effects t...

This summary was conceived in Auckland! Whilst this podcast may be about The Archers our hosts never feel constrained so with Lucy powered by Gusto this week the following get name checks or more:Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, Amy Winehouse, Eric Gill whose alleged sexual proclivities do not alter his ability to design a typeface. Lucy then went Baskerville Gothic. As ever callers impress with the ra...

Goddess Deeva by proxy who’s fed up with Pip, Vicky from Cambridge who finally sees the point of Carol TobogganAndrew Horne who’s learned a lotFelistee and Jo Jo Sexy Heels who can both see attempted murder and Witherspoon who was surprised by George Hosted on Acast.

G' day from Uluru. Bit late on parade this week as our perambulations continue. Aunty Jean wants your spit for good reason and Roifield says a bong never hurt anyone. Lucy makes an Easter prediction which I doubt will happen as I do not think Helen can do anything without Henry - she could not leave her son with Rob. Listen to the podcast to find out what happens, according to Lucy, whilst the vil...

On this week’s episode we have calls from: Tiffananda who loves BrianWitherspoon who wonders who the Hilary Clinton of Ambridge isHappy 100The podcast provided a unique opportunity to hear Shambridges real voice as she joined Lucy & Roifield at the recording which opens with the live rendition of Dum Tee Dum. Lucy gave us her usual brilliant dissection of the week's events. There are cast contribu...

This week is Lucy's week as she follows up Rottweiler like on the now poor handling of events at Blossom Hill Cottage. As my gran used to say, least said; soonest mended. It is very sad that having been handled so well in the build up, the denouement is being handled so crassly. Mooving on, Lucy says Toby sent Kirsty her Valentine's card and that Phoebe probably one to Roy; definitely not Hayley o...

Roifield returns as the straight guy to guide Lucy through the comical world of a week in Ambridge; unbearable Ursula sleeping in a nonexistent bedroom at Blossom Hill Cottage, wacky baccy Wayne baking at the Bull, Bert the builder & his egg-mobile barouche, Johnny and his chick collection plus Brookfield at Borchester market. Ro.i.field feels Lucy should stop worrying about how quickly Ed recover...

Sitting in for Roifield this week is Yokel Bear who hails from a modest Thames Valley town that shall not be named; Jasper Fforde has magnificently recorded the environs and those curious to know more should look online. Another majestic performance from a new presenter. And Lucy seems to welcome changed company in Derek's back bedroom. This was recorded before the thrilling developments on Friday...

We interview Paul Trueman about the Just Giving campaign for Helen Titchener. https://www.justgiving.com/helentitchenerPodcast guest this week is Paul Trueman, a 10 year listener, who was "switched on" to the real life abuse suffered by Helen Walmsley-Johnson writing in the New Statesman together with Helen Titchener's failure to get an afternoon out with Henry (which is lucky as no steam railways...

This week we heard a number of new callerinerers rising out of lurkdom and contributing to the discussions and provoking comments from our hosts. Not all of them disclosed their real life occupation. But many dumteedogs were named. Meanwhile the steady repatterning of activities in the village means that we are moving back in the direction of characters leading the action with issues hopefully bei...

This week Roifield is in wonderful San Francisco with a local version of Barwick Green. Both Lucy and Roifield retailed overheard stories to commence the levity this week. Lucy gets around on a Hoverboard apparently - she finds getting to the park difficult. She does do a very good impersonation of teenage boys. Inheritance of Brookfield was discussed. What worries me is that once she becomes Pip...

The headline gives it all this week - we all want to know how and why Ian is going to work his way out of his current impasse with his life partner and his best friend in the village. Lucy believes that Ian would normally talk through his problem with Adam using his normally calm approach to resolving difficulties. Ian obviously cannot think about matters clearly or see a way forward and bringing...

Andrew Horn returns as Roifield has headed off to Canada. Andrew Horn caused a heart attack as he repeated comments I had made in another forum about the anaerobic digester and the rest of Berrow Farm - I covered all of this in umra and I agree it was important. Andrew also raised the paternity test - I went back to the recording to prove that Dr Locke had indeed taken the DNA sample. What the pro...

Another bout of exquisite commentary on our favourite radio fly on the wall document as our hosts return from their Christmas break. Following Lucy's entertaining exposition of the events in the last two weeks Roifield provides a diatribe (from Canada) on the content of the anniversary show - all agree the subject matter needed to be covered - but it was the wrong subject for the episode concerned...

A bumper Christmas present arrives out of the ether, just about midnight, in Abu Dhabi whilst waiting to board the Dreamliner home. Huge Christmas good wishes are present throughout the podcast to listeners, workers, shirkers & callerinerers. Oddly no-one expressed any real surprise that the wedding went ahead. Less surprising is the way many of the sufferings of the last year have been magically...

A special this week revisiting the best of the last year with Lucy corpsing over Roifield being a Duffus whilst he repaid the compliment over Lucy and her bollocks. Plus all your favourite contributors get a word in edgeways including Graham Seed. Millie Belle is going to get blown away and your summariser wishes you a Merry Christmas! KosmoA Festive Dumteedum, some of the best best bits Hosted on...
