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

Dum Tee Dum Episode 75 – What did happen last week?


Listen Later

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 over emphasis on The Archers themselves and Brookfield is now placing unreasonable strains on the structure of the serial and was the subject of much comment, the balance reflecting the village has been lost.

Millie Belle popped back from a gig down under and asked online posters to be nice to each other which was echoed by Roifield.

On this week’s show we have calls from:

Dusty Substances who has a little glimmer
Witherspoon who’s in a state of grace
Andrew Horn who’s been playing archers bingo
Glyn Fullelove who is not impressed with Usha
Paul Roome who goes wittering on about Derby County
Catherine Baigent who wants to clean Neil’s face with a spitty tissue.
