Dumteedum - A Show About The Bbc Show The Archers By Its Fans

A multi-national Dum Tee Dum opened the show which this week was sponsored by Water Aid. Speakpipe might be playing up – so calls were limited this week. As a result Roifield was desperately filling – linking tv zombies to botulism and salmonella in chicken where with some surprise he could reveal that the incidence of salmonella in US chickens is decreasing. Sounded like a ramble in the countryside for me. K J England blames Rob for hiding Scruff in the silage – but this is pretty unlikely as the silage was made after the flood. So Rob is probably innocent on this count and was exonerated by both Lucy and Roifield. Much of the episode descended into discussion of preparing future episodes whilst unclothed – something for which Roifield declared he was all up for it. Nakedness was also key to the tweet of the week. Johns the tenth and eleventh were appointed. And in recognition of JoJo Sexy Heels there will be no more shop news until after...  See acast.com/privacy for p

On this week’s episode we have calls from: Claire from Scotland via Canada who understands Chris Andrew Horn an ex Bullingdon club member defends Oxford types. Julie a first time callerinerer to had various things to mull over Glyn Fullelove who wonders how Rob sees himself? Witherspoon who is mourning the cattle Maurice Snell who knows who does Jennifer’s ladygarden Jacqueline Bertho who wants a female villain The post Dum Tee Dum Episode 80 – Call the MidWife appeared first on DumTeeDum.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

“Don’t cry for me” said the plants as Jane Perrone the horticultural editor of the Guardian joined our hosts this week; so it is a highly organic and very educational podcast with mentions of the restorative powers of dettol and sugar solutions, mince pies (team Roifield on this one), stollen, urine and compost heaps. Roifield has decking in his back garden whilst Lucy admitted to a very large bush. Jane advises that there may be rats living under the decking so removing it needs the attention of her lurcher. Jane reckons The Archers team generally get gardening matters right; she has been listening for the last 15 years and it is now her little daily treat and then she mentioned many other podcasts. Jane predicts that the Titchenor story will explode at Christmas and she supports the existence of some villainy in the village but she does feel that having a baby is often not well portrayed on the programme. There seems to be some circumstantial evidence that Helen may not...  See a

Lucy had good reason for not being her usual organised self so emulated an impala leaping around between subjects which made the podcast even more entertaining than usual. The monologue did major on teeth and geese, and she accurately replayed the worst successful job interview in history. Lots of predictions this week – the Sterlings do not return but the Grundies move to Grange Farm as caretakers; Roy gets together with either Lizzie or Kirsty; although the betting is on Kirsty (aided by Fallon and Kathy who knows about violence at the hands of Owen King) sorting Rob with a Christmas termination of the baby for Helen before Kirsty settles down with Tom. Roifield is predicting that DTD will soon be starting a TV channel. Technology was discussed at length as no iphone can detect Rob’s edging and anyway a deleted video can always be recovered and mobile phones have undermined popping round to see people – which still happens in The Archers. But Lucy is wrong on mobiles...  See acas

Nigel’s voice returned to our ears as Graham Seed joined our DTD hosts. Lucy’s monologue concentrated on the mystic powers of ginger biscuits which had circulated among the Ambridge residents this week. Lucy beautifully questioned Graham who commented that Nigel was a rounded character that involved a lot of his own personality and then replayed his own death scene and murder at the hand of David. As for Lizzie dallying with Trade! There remains huge public recognition of the loss suffered as well as the resulting publicity. The influences of William Smethurst and Mary Wimbush were mentioned as was Tim Beecham. Millie Belle is in the USA meeting TA/DTD correspondents. Watch out for dumtee d’infants taking over the world.

DTD opens with a royalty free rendition of Happy Birthday for Joe Grundy. It concludes with Lucy awarding Roifield “Tweet of the Week”. Squeezed in between are new callers and emailers. Common sentiments include a belief that Helen will get sectioned, Pip is unfairly hated (mainly because she is not the real Pip) and that Christine’s historic contributions are not recognised. Next week Graham Seed from Brookside will be on the podcast. Kosmo On this week’s show we have calls from: Sean Geraghty who thinks Dusty Substances is indulging in a double entendre Lady Garf Garf who thinks Rob’s planning something with Borsetshire Blue Mary Darby who thinks Roif did a cracking job Witherspoon who wants to talk about nocturnal aneurisis Yokelbear who’s cross with Jill Paul Roome who’s cross with Lucy Goddess Deeva who’s cross with Bert Candida Beeching who’s got some small geraniums Jacqueline Bertho...  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Who knew? The world’s problems can be solved, according to Lucy courtesy of Pip, with a tuna pasta bake! Rob knows how to turn a local organic farm shop into a world dominating chain of supermarkets, by dropping the local, organic and farm products. It was a quiet week as the new scriptwriter bedded herself in with Joe’s tomato plants. And it was equally boring, according to Larkin, in 1955! Various comments were made about some turgid writing this week. Dusty Substances thinks the geese will be an opportunity for optimism over the next few weeks with an inevitable cock fight between the geese and the turkeys on the local dining tables come Christmas. For Lucy’s benefit Smethurst’s book confirms (from Godfrey Baseley himself) that Ysanne Churchman died as she had been attempting to convince cast members to join a trade union to get union pay rates. Lucy did not mention that Tom Forrest’s omnibus commentary was replaced for a while by Lizzie. The...  See acast.com/

Parakeets rule – listen to DTD for an explanation! Lucy and Roifield are joined by Kat Brown of the Telegraph and her cat. Their discussions gave proper consideration to the ill treatment accorded to the Lilian / Matt relationship which was peremptorily ended rather than handled with a decently treated story. This chat also brought to mind that perhaps Paul was a proto-Rob creation (similarly Jean Harvey was a proto-Lynda Snell). I can clarify that Jamie is apprenticed to Isaac on the Berrow Estate, not Mike Tucker (which is odd because Ed is having to trim the estate hedges in lieu of rent on his land). Attention briefly turned to Marvel super heroes on which Kat is also an expert. Kat did not mention her new boots but did consider the entire podcast worthy of a Bafta. Calls covered sounds – Rob’s unpleasant chuckle, the pigeons, the lack of a boiling kettle; the lack of a housing crisis; plus Rob and Helen of course. Roifield has heard mention of Jamie’s share of the...  Se

Long BH edition this week to address some more difficult issues which have appeared in The Archers this week and consequently the humour content is well down on the norm. Kenton first – the belief is that he is in need of counselling for a mental illness which will take a long time to repair but quite possibly a wave of a magic wand will right matters in days – which would undermine the wonderful portrayal to date. Next Rob and Helen – was Helen drugged?; just drinks and self loathing thinks Lucy. Much concern that BBC did not give any warnings of injudicious content. Lucy considers that Helen’s report of her vulnerabilities effectively gave Rob the green light for his actions. Given Rob’s virulent attack on Jim, Pat’s conversion to Team Rob following their kitchen discussion seems highly unlikely to everyone. Finally Pip’s abrupt employment volte face was typical of how not to handle a story line – we all know the production team can...  See acast.com

Welcome to the weekly roundup on Archerdom. Lucy was depressed by an unremitting prozac driven week when the village hall fell down alongside the flooding, the loneliness, the blackmailing, the lying, the sobbing from Jill, the ranting from Kenton, the domestic abuse, alcoholism, depression and bankruptcy all of which made this week the week you wanted to stick your head in a gas oven (only that doesn’t work any longer). Bleak does not even cover it. Lots of callers. Rob is called many, many names whilst Helen has turned into a moron (© Lucy who then went on to point out how conflicted Helen is over everything in her life, so can never be at rest). The consensus view on Kenton is starting to soften and Witherspoon kindly provided a full analysis of his clinical depression which touched Lucy deeply and her bravery was outstanding. The marked silence of Ambridge children in the school holidays was noted. To offset some of the criticism it was admitted that...  See acast.com/privacy for privacy a

Early recording this week again whilst at least one of us was stuck in traffic on the M6. Lucy seemed most concerned about Helen’s dowry and Kenton’s decline into a shop doorway-sleeping bum but was upset over the lack of entertainment at the party at the Stables as there was no family present. Roifield pointed out that Kenton has finally started to realise he is the architect of his own downfall with an incredibly accurate and believable representation of depression hitting an ebullient optimist although Yokelbear has no sympathy for Kenton. Dusty Substances feels that the entire programme has been undermined by personality changes and is thinking of stopping listening (don’t says Kosmo). Scarlett Sparrow is a tap dancing accountant and has a great voice. Lucy on a rural retreat was bothered by wasps, a biplane and dogs; the latter barking completely disrupted Roifield’s thought processes. Lucy’s mum had no camp coffee for Roifield who recounted his...  See acast.com/p

Evening from Edinburgh Roifield and Lucy were joined by Sarah Douglas “Duggers” this week. Kenton’s damp nether regions were re-examined and they also made it into tweet of the week. Duggers loves the Rob storylines and regards him as her favourite character, although no-one (especially Blithe Spirit) understands the current lack of calves or Jazzer. (Roifield – “Les Revenants” is well worth watching and rarely makes sense). Maeve is better and back with us. Lucy gave voice to the way she derives pleasure from TA, Tilling and Blandings, whilst Roifield enjoys particular graphic comic book depiction of Super heroes. Dealing with aged parents is not easy – we struggled over long periods and therefore I would offer much sympathy to Ruth over Heatherpet; I am less certain that it is a plot device and more an attempt to reflect the real difficulties which can be encountered. Jo Jo Sexy Heels is back as well – she anticipates that Hazel will...  See acast.co

An opening Dum Tee Dum from the excellent meetup at Cocodelic as the podcast barged on line. Lucy completed the monologue without interruption and then both hosts praised Brian’s awful offer to Adam over the farm share. It is right that Adam should share the risk, the structure, removing Adam’s salary, was frankly wrong and not the way partnership transitions work elsewhere as Andrew Horn later said. After all there is a mortgage to pay on the hot tub at Honeysuckle Cottage as bought from Lilian. Roifield asked the Pope to call in if he was listening. Many of us consider it likely that Rex will end up milking the Brookfield cows. Ms Alliance reckons that the increasingly suspicious Charlie will prove to be heroic, teflon-coated Rob’s nemesis; all agree we are a long way from him coming unstuck. Lucy was depressed by news of the new Mrs Titchenor and she almost jumped overboard when hearing of it; she believes Kirsty/Krusty will save Helen. Goddess Deeva expressed the view...  See a

Podcast 68 hit the streets although Lucy was predicting locks of trouble ahead as she barged away in Cheshire.  Debbie was central to the action this week as she was sorting out everyone’s problems at Home Farm with consummate skill, except Lilian who seems to have vanished.  Ro.i.field listened to the very good monologue this week so heard the end of it.  Lucy admitted embarrassment by feeling some sympathy for Kate’s passionate aims. Ms Bertho was also touched by smooth diplomatic Debbie offering to fund Kate’s plans!   Lucy also wants to re-organise everyone else’s kitchens, but she was on Pedigree at the time.  Yokel Bear predicts that Brian will be unable to cope with retirement in complete contrast to Tony.  Goddess Deeva returned with a bad back, newly engaged, on drugs and said that Brian cannot be allowed to retire citing the same reasons as Yokel Bear.  Fifi Fanshawe provided a wonderful rhyme with ”50 ways to kill Kate”.  It has been very busy on Facebook with the Ambridge-English...  See

Podcast Summary – Episode 67 In less than an hour DTD covered 75 minutes of The Archers with Roifield admitting that he cannot now imagine the programme without a fucked up Kate in the village and later took to explaining mortgages which is Kosmo’s job!  Roifield also guided children on how to discuss sex with their parents whilst there was extensive acclamation for the dysfunctional family BBQ at Home Farm with Lucy asking for it to happen every week. Paul Roome has been on holiday fantasising about Sabrina whilst Aunty Jean returned to call Kate “obnoxious”.  The generational (r)evolutions happening at Home, Bridge and Brookfield Farms were discussed as we are hearing the batons being passed onto a younger generation in each case.  The well written rapprochement between Roy and Phoebe was noted alongside evidence of Roy’s rehabilitation.  On Facebook Lilian was the most popular dinner...  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
