Dum tee dum Episode: 86 - More Archers, more calls and more Andrew Horn love

Roifield returns but awesome Andrew Horn has become the Terminator and he WILL BE BACK. Dumteedummer of the week is Aunty Jean repeating herself from last week.Lucy translated the Archers into Peanuts characters this week. Discussion revealed an Archers event in Bristol which indicated that Rob and Helen may well continue into 2016 despite earlier thoughts it would finish at Christmas. The writing team have once again been unable to cope with the balance needed by different stories - too much weight given to abuse of Helen whilst the Grundy homelessness has been given short shrift. This happened before when Adam was kidnapped and other stories were neutered.Roifield sought calendar contributions of suitably arranged, tasteful, photographs with any funds from the calendar raised going to Refuge. Lucy offered Christmas cards signed by either Derek in the back bedroom or Sabrina Thwaite after proof of a donation to Refuge.Absences and staying in touch. Soon after completing this summary I shall be heading off to India again (Aus/NZ are next year). Blog posts should appear - so read those if you want to know what I am doing. Ruth can do the same for her two weeks - so Usha should read those!Housing problems in Ambridge confounded our commentators - no room for the Grundies whilst Kirsty is given a room at the drop of a hat.Sean called in - not for the first time. His suggestion that Rob would want the termination of a female baby was instantly the subject of cold water from a great height.Yokel Bear reckoned that Pip has grown up too quickly - but has forgotten that for a long period she has been absent at university and so we have not heard her growing up - the stroppy teenager was some years ago when she was seeing Jude. The new voice has perhaps added to the sense of change in Pip.The "Lady in the Van" was discussed and my view is that the film was a far better format to convey the entire story than the stage play I saw many years ago. I think having one person play both Alan Bennetts worked extremely well. Roifield had also seen it.On this week’s episode we have calls from:Sean Gerahty who has a very nasty idea about RobEmily thomas who can see eating disorder clues Dusty Substances who says New Zealand is the Oxford ring roadAndrew Horn who is looking for propertyKate Unwin who thinks Charlie will become derangedYokelbear who thinks he’s Sigourney WeaverWetherspoon who is looking for portentsand Goddess Deeva who’s become a Dalek Hosted on Acast.
