Lucy is picking up high level BBC intelligence from secret drops in Epping Forest whilst she is recording Walky Talky. These drops includes this week’s DumTeeDum from Doha. Lucy then gets the order of the podcast wrong (twice) this week and Roifield leaves her apparent confusion in the final version. 20 year listener comedian Chris Neill then keeps Lucy in painful stitches (she had just been to pilates) for some 20 minutes as they discuss the ins and outs of our favourite programme. Chris first remembers listening to the death of John Archer. If he joined the cast Chris would like to live with the Grundys at Grange Farm and have a go on Tom should the opportunity arise. For the record Sean’s partner at the Cat and Fiddle was called Peter. Lucy then did the Bartleby not Joe joke! She then explains the Archer family tree to Chris as they are all related really, but they get sidelined over Peggy. I think I should confirm that Jack and Phil Archer were brothers, which is how they are all related. Anthea... &#

In this week’s podcast there is a DumTeeDum from Bye Bye Steve; some light chit chat including a report on Derek’s activities at the races; Lucy’s alternative take on a week in Ambridge which mentions the absurdity of the proposed share out at Home Farm and the inevitable family feast which will go wrong; new and old callers highlighting certain aspects of village life, including an unnecessary and over the top castigation of poor Will and the hanging exercise undertaken by his current and ex wives, “Poor Will and the Jolly Hangmen” should be played. “‘Ello Pusscat” is still reverberating around the podcast and Lucy sometimes lets Roifield speak replaying to him his insistence from last week that he must have an opinion on all Ambridge matters when he tries to duck the question (and where are the village ducks – taken flight with Carol Toboggan?). I think the Toby story is far less a replay of the Will/Emma/Ed triangle than a repeat of the Nelson and Kenton ‘rent & son relationship replayed as Kenton an

Special feature this week. The last 20 minutes this week is Lucy interviewing Sunny Ormonde - her voice may be better known to you as the post-feminist Lilian of course.

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, Freddie and the driving lessons with Kenton, the fail proof plan for the Grange Farm B&B, Lilian showing off her underwear and Alastair trying to work with a partner. Roifield missed Lucy last week. Lucy was in New York with her family and reported on what she was doing there instead of making the podcast. A good time was had by all apparently. Witherspoon thinks there has been a hurried story U-turn over the baby and Lucy agrees - possibly the actress has other work taking her away from Ambridge? Everyone thinks it is all very odd. However the baby miscarriage story was all very well done. The writer whom..

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. The podcast also salutes the passing of Sara Coward who has sadly lost her return match with cancer. In Lucy's seat this week is the experienced radio broadcaster Hardeep Singh Kohli to present the podcast alongside Roifield. Inevitably with two such contrasting characters the discussion ranges far and wide - Hardeep covers growing up listening to the programme sitting in his father's car in Glasgow - but still feeling connected to events because his family are of farming origin in the Punjab - to the terraces of St Andrews through a wide ranging geo-political discussion as well as looking at events in...

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? Relationship? She moved onto Susan, Tracy, Justin, Lilian, Miranda showering them in jokes and then revisited Anisha's bush, which is not thought to be where Rob was hiding all week. She then imitated Henry to a "T" before arranging for Rob to be flattened, or at least get his comeuppance. Busy week in Ambridge. Roifield felt that the retention and possible redemption of Rob would make for interesting stories for many years to come. Lucy reflects that Rob's particular situation makes that almost impossible to engineer within the docu-drama - and might be a way forward in a few years when the current hatred...

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 extremely dirty very quickly as our hosts discuss shit in detail as Roifield talks about a colonic irrigation he enjoyed some years ago. Whilst he had the one he has never had a second! And with the probable / possible (?) end of Rob it is worth noting that Paul Trueman's just giving page has achieved £172k for Refuge - starting just about a year ago. Well done Paul. Naked Fingers is still very touched by being Lucy's favourite caller. And apparently there is a whisk(e)y meet up in May but no-one is admitting when or where it is. Can I come please? I like whisky, particularly Talisker. And then our hosts fell...

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. Anyway Lucy’s dissection of the mooning is as funny as her description of Spring Shimmer – a wonderful new lipstick used by Susan. Lucy does not think Rob has gone – like Arnie he will be back. Roifield cannot understand why Lilian and Justin’s discussion was not transmitted – but I think it would have added nothing to the drama and instead we get the satisfaction of Rob being given an unexpected bum’s rush. My theory is that the new editor has decided to clear the detritus of the SoC era as quickly as possible so that he can steam the ship SS Archers in a different direction – the writers were told to wrap up...

On this week’s episode we have calls from Claire who thinks Roy is going to play daddy Yokelbear who’s feeling fighty Claire thinks we need to ask Toby the Brighton question Glyn who’s suspicious of Brian Robert who’s Lucy’s favourite slightly drunk fantasist Debs who wants to push Rob over the edge Dan John VII says Freddie’s in good company Blithe Spirit who thinks Justin’s loathsome and Witherspoon who says Lilian’s being used  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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 hands of arch punner Lucy and podcast husband Roifield, some of it at the expense of that well known fly on the wall documentary "The Archers". Kosmo who hopes this is an accurate summary because he cannot get it to download in Mexico due to the flaky wifi! Will write again if download eventually works.
