The Cider Shed - Ploughing through BBC's 'The Archers'

Keri wants to be buried in a giant lamb chop, Matthew's preparing her 'ewelogy' and Peter's in a praiseworthy mood this week. Elsewhere we discuss Pantomimes Anonymous, 80s cult classic Moonlighting and the possibility that Adam's a serial killer.  Oh, and Archers stuff. In no particular order: • Jenny was a friend of mine: Tony and Lilian choose the worst possible moment to try stand-up. • Y...

Join Keri, Peter and Matthew as we discuss Cocaine Bear, Roly Wellingtons and which member of Brookfield lays the nicest eggs. Massive apologies for Matthew possibly confusing Pierogi with Halušky. Between complimentary soups and free Shepherd's Pie we munched on: • You selfish Tucker! Roy and Kirsty lose and rediscover basic human decency over a 3 day period. • An Innis-Spector calls: Brookfield...

This week, Keri and Matthew discuss Lord of The Rings themed discos, amber necklaces and axe throwing. There's even a bit of time for The Archers, including: Death becomes them : The utter pitifest of Aldridges drags into another week. We sh1t on it. Grassy Nol no more : Kate's daughter is back and she's no longer a midnight toker. Bit of Borsetshire Blue for the David : Brookfield goes shagtastic...

Keri, Peter and Matthew welcome you all aboard our totally normal rice paper boat. Join us on deck as we navigate the back catalogue of Swedish rockers Europe, the nonsensical series 'Lost' and the argument for overthrowing the monarchy. Matthew also sneaks in 3 Burt Bacharach songs unbeknownst to his co-hosts in tribute to the great man. Oh and also Archers stuff in no particular order: • It's th...

Keri, Peter and Matthew are in your garden and we're not budging until you've heard us discuss Peter's long form birth certificate, boardgame tantrums, Kraftwerk and the word Matthew just cannot say. Before the cops show up, we also covered the following: • Sub-normal: Adam brings Brian off the bench. • Hair apparent: Is Chelsea set for Lady of The Manor? • Model trains. Model twins: It's a photo...

Black armbands at the door folks. Sombre music and the slow tolling of a bell. Actually no, it's us. So with full respect to dearly departed Jenny, we also discuss her next career as a poltergeist, Pat's torturous soup menu and how Justin plans to upsell funeral goods to the grieving Aldridges. Massive cidery hugs all round. xxx • Adam learns to read. • Stella auditions for Driller Killer 2. • Ton...

Join an unpacked Peter, Keri and Matthew as they go on a loved up date together. In between blushing we plucked up the courage to discuss the following: • When 2 become 1. Maths lad Brad has a date with density.  • Reacting Angri-Lee: If you're going, to San Francisco, be sure to tell your psycho Karate instructor ex well in advance.  • Justin talks shop as Jim sells his soul.  • St...

On the podcast this week Keri and Matthew question if Peter's labelling is up there with Jakob's. We also seem to completely forget where the aformentioned sexiest vet in Ambridge stands on sprouts and we wonder, quite frankly, if his newly arrived brother is a massive wrong un. In between all that, we cannonballed into the following murky waters. Where the rewild things swim : Kirsty gets the hor...

Happy New Year everyone!  This week on The Cider Shed Codpiece (it'll make sense later) a fairly delirious Keri and Matthew discuss hot-wiring cars, robot makeovers, Knight Rider with Michael Nyman and ponder what John Grisham is doing hanging round Ambridge View with Neil.  Now, how about we awkwardly discuss the following over some minuscule starters: Just say 'yes!' : Chelsea and Brad...

This week, Keri, Peter and Matthew talk a little Horrobin, a lot of Archer and a bafflingly large amount of Natasha. There's even a truncated Patchat thrown in. Apologies in advance for multiple character/actor name mix ups, onanism references and some terrible Archers impressions. Strap in: • Brad and Chelsea disengage Tracy and Jazzer. • Jill's back, David's stressed, Ruth's resentful: It's begi...

Thanks for listening all year everyone. We really appreciate all the kind words and support you throw our way. Lots of love. Keri, Peter and Matthew. If you want to hear forty minutes of us talking utter shite then pop over to https://www.patreon.com/thecidershed . We recorded a special episode for our Patrons where we: • Chose our f&€k, marry, kills. • Did 2 truths one lie. • Answered Patron'...

This was a very special week for us as the fantastic Madeleine Leslay who plays the equally wonderful Chelsea Horrobin dropped by the shed and gave us hairdresser levelz of goss: • Who owns 60% of Grey Gables?  • Where are the Gills? • Is Vince the grey man?  • It's all here. Sort of.  There was even some Archers stuff: • Ed and Emma got wood, but did Rex and Tony? Bull patrons enjo...

Keri, Peter and Matthew make a couple of special announcements this week, before discussing hiding food from your significant other, tales of being brassic and Mr Fickling gives Catford the 'Wish you Were Here' treatment. Oh, and The Archers, of course: Ben checks into Air B'n'Brookfield. Discomfort and Joy: The bearing of Northern souls clears the air.  Emma plans a scam, but will Harrison g...

This week, Keri, Peter and Matthew bring you all in from the cold to chat about their roles in the nativity, Keri can't feel her face and sadly, Peter's Joy rap ended up on the cutting room floor. Will it surface at some point in the future?  In between all of that we ran around on the green looking for these storylines: • A choired taste: Is Mick high as F? And is Jolene being a middle C?&nb...

This week, Keri Peter and Matthew discuss the warming properties of Special Brew, ponder daps vs baps, Adidas vs Puma and Matt Berry vs Nick Cave. Somewhere in between we cast our eyes over: • Fallon gets a tune out George. •Christmas Chronic Choir Chaos. •Paul can't hurry love. Ruairi will just have to wait. •Vengeful Vince pokes the Brookfield bear. To help us out with a lovely worded 5 star rev...

He was going out with a girl Her name is Bethany But now his Nan is done with him Cuz he had sex with Chelsea This is what she said: Listen Ben I love you But you've brought shame on you and me Mia and Brad trashed the hunt ball And Paul totes fancies Ruairi.  Ok, enough singing.... Jill drizzles misery all over a flapping Ben.  Hunt Ball, as in Jeremy Hunt.  Get your tux, you've Pa...

This week, Keri, Peter and Matthew unearthed Freudian recollections from Santa's grotto, discussed the cool, hipness of voice notes and pondered which haircut the Fickling lad should get next. Somewhere underneath the unwanted jumpers, we found: • George: Stable genius or thick as pigshit? • Two-tone Tony: The boy from Bridge Farm recalls the only wooly childhood nightmare not involving his Mum. •...

There was only one story in Ambridge for Keri, Peter and Matthew this week. Well, unless you count Tony's misery flashback. So, roll up your sleeves, queensbury rules, ding ding! • YOU. ME. CAR PARK. NOWWWW! : Vince launches his own private thriller in Manila. • Ben Noble : Is he though? • Tony's lost letter pulls at our guitar strings. • Tracy is a wonderful mum to Chelsea. There is no joke to be...

This week Keri, Peter and Matthew discussed their respective places in The Cider Shed human centipede, Keri's ad-based decision to enter the Brighton marathon in a cow suit and the divine justice of kicking your Dad in the knackers.  Somewhere in all of that soily mess, we unearthed an aged beer bottle with the following messages: • Ruth's lasagne therapy: Wrong on so many layers and is her b...

Hey lush faces,  This week Keri and Matthew run the village shop while Peter rests upstairs (arggghhh beware the stairs). We touch on Lord of the Rings, we touch on Tennant's Super, we touch on Kat Slater and we guarantee by the end of the show, you'll have touched cloth.* *The Cider Shed takes no responsibility for people's untimely bowel movements when listening to the podcast.  O...

While Keri was off stalking Bryan Ferry, Peter and Matthew discussed entering The Archers witness protection program, putting the residents of Ambridge on trial, happy school days and the tenuous return of THAT jingle. What? You want Archers stuff? Ok...  • Anti-Window Coalition: This payne in the arse storyline continues to stain our eardrums.  • Eddie and Clarrie go all Tommy and Pammy...

Join Keri, Peter and Matthew as they attempt to smile for the camera. No easy feat after what was a shockingly soiled pants week in Ambridge.  Pegged to the washing line we have: • Is Chelsea chalking this one up to experience?  • Full exposure: Beth and Jill in a photo finish for biggest tosser.  • Parting is such sweet sorrow: Toby heads to the home of The Bard.  • Tony's bac...

This week Keri, Peter and Matthew popped into the salon for a quick cut and gossip about Jeff Wayne's War of The Worlds, Mississippi Burning, Joe Pasquale's pillow talk, unsolicited dick pics and the dodgy meat market.  Actually, on reflection, those last two sound the same.   Once under the dryer we remembered we're here to discuss The Archers.  So we did. In no particular ord...

• Keri Ferry sounds much better then Shula Ferry. Now, off you pop to Sunderland.  • Desperately disinteresting Dan: Back in yer horsebox mate.  • Shula quiz. Question one: 'Why is Shula?'  • Maiming ceremony disappoints. We may have possibly misheard the event description.  • Ben/Her: Most people's second guess takes the mummy of all phonecalls. • Plus Keri and Matthew's *Colu...

This week, a returning Keri makes Peter and Matthew empty their respective attics. Strap in for a couple of rants, mostly Archers related. Behind the skirting board they found: Dire House more like: Could an affair make Justin and Lilian interesting again? We love having Chelsea back but who TAF is the Dad? Dear diary: David reminds Kenton of his teenage Adkins diet. Eggboy Josh flies the nest. Ru...
