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 Mike's wonderful moments over the years and he hopes the right story will bring the entire family back to the village.Kosmo is very concerned about Lilian's credit card and will be contributing on Damara's position shortly.Witherspoon seems to be lamenting the quieter stories which are now asserting their rightful place in The Archers and Lucy disagrees and she loves that the tension has gone and she can now worry about Neil's eggs and painting the shepherd's hut. And in theory Helen is much safer now.And a special guest - a forensic scientist from Southampton - who provides much illumination on the blood stain patterns in Blossom Hill Cottage. Blood travels easily and it is spatters (not splatters). It is a question of tying the story of events (prosecution and defence) to the blood distribution found. Stabbing might not give much spatter - merely a pool of blood, but does give Helen a sticky predicament.And do not miss the shepherd's hut discussion after the podcast has finished.Plus the Ballad of Helen and Rob.KosomoOn this week’s episode we have calls from Dusty Substances who’s taking a deep breathBlithe Spirit who’d want Kirsty on her team, Yokelbear who loves Neil getting whipped up about eggsSusie who wants to join Carole’s covenmartin who’s hoping for a Few Good Men, Gillian who has a recommendationWitherspoon who’s missing HelenandLilian who’s been down the pub.
