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.

On the ginger biscuit that is Roy Phil Brown and with me at the soggy bottom that is Lucy Freeman. And the last part by bawse at your bake-off is you. Now today is Dumb T-Dumb. It's a lovely message for Mr Joe Grundy, who is 64. Is he, what's the first big song, 94? Don't you know. So thank you for that, Miss Scott, it's Diva. Now Lucy. Yeah. Hmm. I thought it was Miss Alliance. No. Oh. No. It's got it, it's Diva, isn't it? Well she's put, it's warblers anonymous. You know what? You could well be right. I'm sure it is, because it sounds like her voice. She's got a beautiful voice. It was an amazing, it's a very beautiful addition, wasn't it? Well, okay, warblers alike, whoever you are, warblers alliance. Did she actually say warblers alliance? Yeah. Oh, it's Miss Alliance and isn't it? No. Warblers Anonymous. Okay. Warblers Anonymous. We thank you for your wonderful rendition of your birthday song for Mr Joe Grundy, who is 94. Now Lucy. Yes. Can you remind our listeners how they're going to activate the Dundee Dumber of the week? Or do you reckon they're just going to keep going off peace and just doing whatever hell they want to do? I think they're probably going to do that, to be honest. They're an unruly bunch, aren't they, really? Yes, if you'd like to sing us a Dundee Dumber, or do whatever the hell you like, really? Or dunk your ginger nuts. Ring us on 02030313105 or leave us alone. Leave us a message on Speakpipe, thanks to lovely shampages for her amazing voices, to Cosmo for his podcast roundups, and to Sarah Smith for sponsoring us, and for Millie Bell for her Facebook-y stuff, and that is getting longer and longer and longer. And thanks also to Derek for the loan of the back bedroom. Derek has great sympathy with David Cameron's predicament, or pre-pigament, he had to take part in an unfortunate initiation right himself, so he understands it was for the Grundy Cider Club, and it involved Bartleby. He did it, but only because he said the only other option they gave him was Auntie Cardboard. That's a bit harsh on Auntie Cardboard, but she's done nothing. She's part horse anyway, it probably didn't make that much difference. Very true, but she's done nothing to dispel the notion that she's absolutely boring the last week, just underline it. Biscuits, biscuits, flower, flower, oh shut up. And then they were just dreadful and hard, and everybody broke their teeth on them. I know. But anyway, why don't we crack on with this script, and then I'll say something like, on this week's show we have calls from Sean Garrity who thinks that Dusty's substance is indulging in a Dublin d'Andra, Lady Gaffkaff who thinks that Robbie's planning something would force it to a blue Mary Darby who thinks Royce, oh that's me, did a cracking job, with a spoon who wants to talk about nocturnal what? And Eureseus. Yokel Bear who's crossed with Jill, Paul Roo, who's crossed with Lucy, God everyone's crossed with everyone. Goddess Deaver who's crossed with Bert, Candida, laughing to myself now, Candida Beaching, who's got some small geraniums, Jacqueline Berto who's all pipped out, and Jennifer in Excel who's wearing a suffragette sash. Ooh, lots of calls to get through, but first before we get to those bits, let's hear about Lucy V. Friedman's Week in Ambridge. Hootie Jill now doesn't leave the house unless she's put a beef casserole for victorious bunches and apple pie in the oven. So the archers have two family members, both looking for somewhere to stay, and their part time farm worker is living in the house. Why didn't Bert move into Auntie Cardboard's house? It is like musical chairs when there are actually enough chairs, but the people playing are too thick to count. For some reason, in Ambridge, people are a bit alarmed at the prospect of the village hall being newly referred to as the Justin Elliot Temple of Mammon. Poor Neil is distraught at people being horrible, you'd think years of marriage to the Queen of the Tabads would have imbued him to that, but apparently not. Oliver and Caroline are off to Tuscany to fling up their heels among the dusty sage, stare wistfully at olive groves, and eat full English fried breakfast with double beans and PG tips at Albert's South End calf, Umbria. A calf was born, eventually at Brookers, after a lot of straining from the cow and snappishness from Pip, who had asked Ed's muscles for help. It emerged arse first, as I would too if the first thing I had to look at when I came out was Bloody Pip. It was the WIs, it was the WIs anniversary. Clarrie threw herself into the preparations, and Susan made birth a la mod. That's beef for the blob of cream on it, I think. That sounds nice. Everybody wore sashes, Helen came, but for her it was a bit of a Bussman's holiday as her domestic arrangements are entirely set in 1910. The WI Evening was awash with ladies in tight blouses having hot flushes in their corsets, Lillian gleefully heckled all the way through the WI meeting, and was a heartbeat away for shouting "you're a chef, and you know you are!" as Jill booted laboriously through her speech. Hester from Bristol, no you know Hester, Hester with the husband and the funny knee called Clive, recently redoed, you know that Hester, Hester, anyway doesn't matter. She is about to visit Carol Toboggan, which set in spec to Jenny Darling Cluzo's dear stalker, a quiver, and she set off to interrogate her about the mysterious Kate of the man who died in entirely normal circumstances, i.e. the death of John Toboggan. She said to Carol, "would you and Hester like to come to tea?" and Carol said, "no thanks, I'd rather die," and Jenny said, "why not?" If someone's just turned you down like a bedspread, you don't say "why not?" you say, "oh yeah, of course, yes, no sorry" and shuffle off. So Hester from Bristol or Brestle or Brestle or whoever may or may not come, basically they've introduced a character we've never heard of and don't need, and are now trying to make a drama out of her not coming. I think they've handed over the script writing to Samuel Beckett. Ginger biscuits, Auntie cardboard nemesis, her Moby Dick, actually jazzy got Moby Dick but there's a cream you can get now. She made ginger biscuits endlessly for a fortnight while Peggy sniggered and threw them all in the bin. And as predicted by absolutely everybody in the world, Rob is trying to adopt Helen's inheritance. Sorry, Henry. Rob wants to be the new daddy to that lovely money. Boy, sorry, little boy, he did happily get outvoted on the farm shop. Though why he felt he was able to chip in anyway was anyone's guess. And then he demanded that Helen taught him how to make cheese. It was like Ghost with off milk. Hazel the Slivine went nice for a bit, don't believe a word of it. Peggy's response was to go to her solicitor. Peggy goes to the solicitor like other people go to the Lou. Her solicitors are messes shattered and furious of Borsacha. She commandeered Jenny Darling to take her and said, now do you know where you're going? And Jenny Darling pointed out Crossley that she had taken Peggy to the list as once or twice before every Wednesday and Thursday and twice on Mondays. David unwisely asked Bert to paint me more that's room. They're using pharaoh and ball colours. They're going for Sterident Yellow with a feature wall in tripe. Jill is chumptering on about not wanting to leave brokers again. Do you know what, Jill? Just shut up. You could be the grundies anyway. As bits of Heatherpet are breaking and dropping off like a fourth year pottery project. She'll only be in brokers half an hour before she'll be off to the big brother in the sky. So Jill, you'll be banging on the door of Brookfield with your writing desk tucked under your arm before you know where you are. The end. She goes to the laurels first. The laurels is the waiting room. The big brother in the sky. Well done Lucy. Thank you very much. Well done. Well done. Enjoyed it this week. Normally at this point we'd have a little bit of a chat, wouldn't we? We would. Are we not going to? Well, I've got a sneaky feeling that we might get caught up in a whole load of kind of reacting to listeners kind of calls chat. Okay. What do you reckon? Yeah, I think we might. But if you don't, we could have a chat now. Yeah, no, it's all right. Let's go on with the calls I should. All right then. Hello, Ambridge 3962. Who's first? Sean Garrity. All right. Hi, it's Sean here from Cotton Tree. First time caller in her. There's been some great episodes recently with Lucy's emotional episode and the recent guests who lift the show to a new dimension. Now, Lucy's normally the queen of the double entongres during her monologue, but she was out shown this week by caller in her dusty substances. Who, when she was talking about the fair brethren's geese, said that Rex is hoping that Elizabeth will take a handful who help with her reputation. That's probably a very safe bet. On characters we miss who've disappeared, the lack of a BL storyline means that we've lost Annabel Shrivener who had grown into a fully rounded and distinctive character. I miss her the most. Sean thinks Dusty is indulging in dooble entongre as if a nice lady, yes, as if Dusty's substances would indulge in such naughtiness. No, that's your job. Yes, quite. He wants to know where Annabel Shrivener is. She was just getting good Annabel Shriveler, wasn't she? Mm. She'd shriveled Brian nicely. I know. She was, she's rocking the BL board. Yeah. Oh yeah, precious little BL chat anymore. Like precious little. Yes, because yes, she was just doing getting interesting and being a bit Alex's Carrington Colby. And now all we do is spend the whole time sitting here from to the Agrabup Brookfield. You don't go anywhere else. I reckon, because your reference there is somewhat kind of like 30 years at a date. Yes. Carly Fioreno. That's like, you know, hard, bit and smart business. We're not standing for Vice President though. Oh, she's standing for President. We did have a email this week. No, we didn't. We had a Twitter exchange from somebody this week who runs a brewery near here. Do you know what? I've completely forgotten who it was. Do you know who it was? The lady I was talking to about going to see her brewery in Tottenham Hill. Oh, she was on Twitter. Yeah, I've gone completely blank and I can't remember. I don't, I can't remember, but she's lovely. Yeah. But she'd rather hang out with you than me. But she said, and I've got to find her name because this is embarrassing otherwise. She said, could we all stop moaning about? Oh, yes. We are all, we're doing that thing, aren't we? Like, clubbers do. Like, oh, it wasn't as good as when I used to go. I know you like it now, but you should have been there five years ago when it first started. And we're kind of doing a bit of that. And she said, I really enjoy, I've only just started this thing. And I'm really enjoying it. And all you lot do is moan about how it is now and how it used to be. All we need to do is just like, remember this moment, an Oscar in five years, what she reckons of the arches. You're right, actually. Exactly. You know, it's what we all indulge in, isn't it? Everybody, you know, everybody has a touch of the old and nostalgia, but it's not just the arches, absolutely everything. It's been scientifically proven that if you're into football, right, and you're a man in your 30s or whatever, your golden age is when you're about eight, nine, 10. That's when you're all your thoughts and feelings kind of in form. So whoever were the great teams, then you still think are good now, the players that were good, then et cetera. But it's for everything you said. It's with clubbers. It's with soap operas. It's with movies. It's with media. It's just with life. You always look back at a house in period. And generally, it's either when you first got into something or it's round about your formative years. Right. Is that why people say when when I was a child, the summers were better? Exactly. Better weather. Because you know, you're six, seven, eight, nine, 10. You know, I remember the summer of 1976. Oh, Claire Doherty. Dot stereo. That's it was. Yes. Yes. The summer of 1976. And I was what seven? Now, it was a blazingly hot summer. But I just remember it was sunny for the whole year. It didn't rain. It was brilliantly sunny and I was out in my pants. 24 hours a day, son. That's how I remember it. It was quite the truth. But you know, it's yeah, you know. So, but anyway, I take a point to a degree. But I don't think that you and I personally personally go in for oh, the arches is really good in, I don't know, 1984, 1995. Well, when you listen to the clips of the Grace Archer scene when she died, I don't mean the dead girls tell their lies. I mean, the actual bit, the acting was shocking, wasn't it? They were all like, yes, they were all home service news readers pretending to be on a farm. They all had like full ball gowns on on the recording and dinner jackets, didn't they? I'm going to coming after her. No, Phil, you're damn fooling. No. Anyway, wish I'd never bought her. Yes. I know it's hilarious. No, it was a yes, definitely a period piece then. But anyway, so we're talking about Sean or Dusty or where are we? That was Sean talking about Dusty and Annabelle Shrivener. And now we have Lady Gaff Gaff. Oh, all right. Hi, dumped you dumb. It's Lady Gaff Gaff here. I've just listened to Tuesday's episode and I am so angry. I cannot believe that Rob was in the dairy with Helen sneakily learning how to make cheese. It's not on. He's controlling every aspect of Helen's life, getting involved where he shouldn't and I don't like it. I completely agree. Helen did not seem at all. I'm sure about teaching Rob how to make borsettio blue. She can she's now hell, well, I say this everywhere. Oh, hell. She can now see the inroads that he's making into her life. And he's kind of, you know, trying to he's trying to sort of just weadle his way into everything he wants to know the what my dad would say the ins and outs of a what did he say the oh, the ins and outs of a duck's ass. He sort of wants to know, you know, every single thing that that she's doing. And, you know, when is Henry being picked up and da da da da da da da. And who were his friends? You know, and and now the flipping cheese. And she's actually trying to guard herself a little bit, which is making me slightly hopeful, which goddess diva mentions later on, as well, that she may not agree to the adoption. She may say, no, you know, he's mine, Henry's mine. But he's gonna he'll he'll break her down. But at least she might have a stab at it. I can't see how Helen Tichina circa September, late September 2015 would say no to him adopting Henry. But she's absolutely definitely now realizing that this man is in every aspect of of her life. And he's trying to absolutely micromanage every aspect of her life. And it's good to hear. It's weird, actually, because Rob's kind of gone, I think Rob's gone from threatening to slightly pathetic. He's classic sort of bully in that you you there's there's a sin. There's a slightly sinister element. But for me now, the sinister element is being outweighed by his utter pathetic need to not have her compete with him in anything and not have anything that doesn't involve him. He is the child. And you know, it's just it's cringy and it makes him sound, you know, just really, yes, just pathetic. That is the absolute word. My name is Kate. My name's Joe. My name's Nicola. My name is Suzanne Herkemi. My name is Mary Parkinson. I'm in Hope House as a client. I have had addiction issues. I'm at Hope House. I'm a collegiate and eating disorder. I'm here because it got really bad. At long last, a thousand and one conversation is available to download from iTunes and all good podcatchers. This was a place where women worked to help other women. That's cool. We're the spoon. Okay. Greetings Lucy Royfield and all Dunty Dimmers around the world. It's with a spoon and Angus here. So this week we need to talk about Henry. That Thud you heard was the other shoe dropping as Rob asked Helen about adopting him. Rob was at his manipulative worst as he was playing with Helen like a cat plays with a captured mouse. One night he wouldn't let Henry go with her to her parents and the next night when he got her to come home from the WI meeting. I guess because he didn't want her associating with those suffragettes. I was shouting at my iPhone. No Helen don't leave. He knows that Henry is always the card he can play because she's such an anxious and helicopter like mother. When she tentatively began to confront Rob because she's beginning to become suspicious of his games and saw that Henry wasn't heard in any way, Rob pulled out the Ace of Hearts and asked about adopting Henry. By the way Lucy, since you mentioned how Rob does all these vocal intonations and changes his phrasing when he's being particularly underhanded, I've been quite sensitive to these changes of inflections. Rob is brilliantly dastardly. Just a few words about Henry's bedwetting or as we say in the profession, nocturnal anuresis. You know Henry isn't even five years old yet and in America he wouldn't be starting full day kindergarten until after he's passed that milestone. So episodes of bedwetting isn't unusual at that age. We look at ages six or seven as the cut off for consideration of a diagnosis with boys being slower to gain bladder control than girls. Once past the age of seven a child who has two bedwetting episodes per week can be diagnosed with nocturnal anuresis. The most common reason for bedwetting in older children is usually a benign developmental delay, sometimes associated with ADHD. Although Freud and other early psychoanalysts posed emotional or traumatic reasons for this symptom, this is almost always not the case, especially at Henry's young age. Stress certainly can be a cause when bedwetting returns at an older age in a child who has been dry for some time. The way a parent handles the bedwetting problem if the child is made to feel ashamed and is unduly punished can also lead to symptoms of anxiety or worse. So that's today's short lesson. I'll close with a shout out to Peggy Archer, the doctor as in doctor who would be proud. Right Millie Bell? With a spoon and Angus Haggis we'll speak to you next week from P-Town, No Pun intended. Hello dumped stomach joker bear here calling from the West Country Powerhouse that is Swindon. I didn't call in last week simply because I found the archers the week before just a little bit dull. Don't know, you get weeks like that don't you? I suppose when you're in it for the long haul you have good weeks, you have bad weeks and I think the good weeks outweigh the bad weeks but this week's been a little bit better mainly because I've been quite annoyed with Jill Archer. God it's all kind of passive aggressive and martyr syndrome isn't it? I mean you can tell that Ruth's been taking lessons off of Jill. I don't know this is terrible look at me I'm slagging off a pensioner I'm going to hell. And talking in the kitchen knob, I am really uncomfortable with this whole thing he's doing which he's finding time to be alone with Henry. Not sure where that's going, not sure what he's up to but it was just a bit creepy. Nocturnal annual recess? Yeah he's right I mean Henry has gone through a lot in terms of starting school and all that stuff and my friend is going through her child's starting school and we're having daily, daily chats at the moment about how it went this morning as the child had to be peeled off her shoulder sobbing but what I'm finding creepy is the amount of occasions in which Rob is trying to get Henry on his own and I think a few people raised that and said oh are we going down some grooming sexual abuse route grooming doesn't have to necessarily be have the have its results as sexual abuse grooming can be forming an inappropriately strong bond with a child that isn't yours that you use for manipulative purposes to you know grooming can be can a child can be invagled into being groomed so that the part one partner can abuse another it doesn't have to be just sexual abuse does it? No no absolutely not and it's something which God is Steve has made a point of saying on on the on the Twitter's but I repeat myself frequently and so I don't really want to now but I don't think that per se the amount of contact that Rob has with Henry is actually inappropriate and I think it was very telling last week to the length of his levels of control that he deliberate you know that he let Henry run around in his school uniform fall over and then you know to call Helen up to say stop enjoying yourself you know your son's leg is hanging off you know that's a ridiculous angle get back here now because obviously this is the central storyline of of the whole show and has been probably 18 months now I forget exactly how long we have many more instances of Rob and Henry actually just together and as I said last week or the week before that obviously there's other fathers and sons actually in in Ambridge but we don't hear their interaction so I don't think that there is necessarily inappropriate amount of contact it's just it's just inappropriate because we know what we know where it's going but I think you nailed it last week or the week before where you said that Henry's again you know if there's a grooming process it's for Henry to become a misogynist you know to become somebody who has a little regard. Well he's already started you know I don't want to ruin it for everyone it hasn't heard it this week but because we're recording late the moment because we had Skype with problems with Skype yesterday and also problems with morning with me being unable to speak there was an episode I mean a scene this week so far in which Rob has tried to tell Helen that something happened that did not happen he this is absolute gas lighting he's saying to her yes of course don't you remember and she doesn't she doesn't remember because it doesn't it didn't happen yeah so he's then saying to her I see you're not quite with it are you you're not quite with it and that's the thing he's going to start saying to Henry leave mummy alone mummy needs a rest don't hassle mummy mummy's not coping very well at the moment Henry so if you want anything you come to me do you feel worried when you're left with mummy Henry blah blah blah and then the next thing will be he gets Helen's section to take Henry that that would be a little way down the line and I just hope that this new skeptical Helen Titchner you know rears her head and he's able to act before it gets anywhere near that because we are definitely seeing the signs of the fact that she's definitely questioning yeah Robin it's definitely from the night where he was rough with her yeah well whilst they were doing the do yeah I'm setting doing the don't I must say I've never been so insulted since the last time I was never so insulted by Lucy's mathematical error in last week's podcast I know I'm having severe trouble with speakpiper entering at the moment is when I play it back my voice seems to be on half speed and an octave lower aging me about 20 years I've tried two computers and two microphones but it's no different and I'm onto my third microphone now this week I'm going to talk twice as fast and see if that helps me sound more normal it's a big ask anyway Lucy said that Tom Forrest's monologues at the start of the omnibus edition finished in 1972 seeing as I was only three at the time this being my favorite part of the program would either make me a precocious baby listener or much older than I am my earliest arches memories are of polyperxes sad demise in a car crash and Nigel in the gorilla outfit making me a 1982 starter or so an old Tom had his monologues after this for many a year that I can recall another omnibus memory apart from Tom Forrest's pre-programmed country bur was that the omnibus was an hour long so a scene from each episode in the week was cut out to trim it to size so listening to the omnibus was a risk hoping that some fluff had been removed and I hadn't missed out on a vital scene from the weekday episodes the strange thing I find about the arches is that I can listen to it out of order with a snippet caught here in the car or there on the radio and then on the podcast and then listen to some episodes multiple times and it all makes perfect sense and it doesn't spoil listening to it randomly like this there are not many tele programs I can watch more than once without getting bored talking of which Royfield I managed to stagger through the second season of true detective but it was a true miserable fest with the actors mumbling the lines with deep meaningful stares the whole way through I can't really recommend it unless you like this sort of thing and it gets more turgid as the series goes on nothing like the arches then pull room now mr room we did not say I don't know what you're doing I think he says he sounds lower he sounds slower on our podcast than he is in real life I think he's probably recording on some sort of speak and spell machine but yes well maybe you I don't know why you're sounding slower on our show than normal Paul and I've written down that he's crossed with me but now I can't remember why he's crossing oh that's right because I didn't I'm sure I looked it up on the arches website and it said that Tom Forest's little chatty chats stopped in 1970 something so I apologize if I've made you sound octogenarian Paul but maybe it was 1980 something I don't know this is an opportune time for me to bask in my media interviews oh yes yes yes oh yes right I'm just basking there you go you don't want me to comment on my basking do you well you did a very good job I was very annoyed with that man who kept calling you Roy though oh wow me and half the listeners were shouting right there what's the matter with you well occupational hazard I haven't been made up with didn't you name I'm sure I've said before so you know offense anybody calls me right but I haven't heard the other one yet so what you've done the WM one but not the he wasn't on his game the Coventry Geezer really that's quite good though because it normally gives you an opportunity to muscle in a take over the interview you know he kind of did the artist on the arches theme and just was somewhat away with the fairies but anyway we're gonna shovel that is if you want to hear me on I tell you what my mom wasn't half happy because my mom loves Adrian Goldberg she listens to every morning in Birmingham yep yep so if you want to hear me on the radio talking about 60 anniversary of the fire and grace death and the love of the arches it's all at the end of the show I'm going to do one of these Royce what's that oh because you did a very good job do you hear when he says little podcast I know and then you went little very good yeah and me and Terry Malloy both went little at the same time on Twitter as well me and Terry Malloy have started pod cut I just started tweeting simultaneously it's quite peculiar can I just say how much I like that man I know he's a very good friend of the podcast yes he is thank you Terry very big thumbs up to Terry if you happen to have big thumbs um now where do you stand on Bert because goddess diva's not keen Bert Fry won't anybody have a beef with Bert that sounds like a local radio station and showing itself doesn't it and now beef with Bert hello dumb tea dumb goddess diva here and this is the third attempt at calling you the first time my dad tried to Skype me the second time my dad tried to Skype me now I've said I'm going to Skype him so Royfield I know your pain with with parents interrupting your thing so this week on the arches um nice to hear Lillian back and to make here uh cackling and making references to gin during the W.I thing it was joyous every Sunday where I get to hear Lillian is a good Sunday team Lillian what else um made me laugh this week but he's I don't know what it is about him I know I was I was quite mean to him when Frida died was nigh and I'd do in the whole oh get over it you've going on about it too much now I think it's not that he was going on about it too much I think it's just him I think I think I just don't like Bert he's very like tug of the fall up it's his drug or and maybe that's it maybe that's why he irritates me because he knows this place socially which goes back to what Lucy was talking to last weekend I went to school in Robert's Bridge which a little village in Sussex totally get what you say in Lucy you are totally right on that yes you roto goddess diva but she is questioning why she doesn't like him the woman has darkness in her soul it's either it's all ominous pictures of kittens the next minute is titchy knob must die we can't keep up I suppose if you've just landed on this show there are two characters that have little kind of dramatic direction in terms of you just question why they're on there aren't you cardboard you know I do not understand the reason why she's there she's been such a peripheral character for so long how could we get rid of jazza and keep her exactly yeah exactly but as I think somebody said somewhere it's not by accident that's when you listen to the the the god the dead girls don't whatever show at the weekend and then you listen to the names and the characters that are mentioned they're in it now so christine has been brought back to connect to the shows we said last week to its past you know she's she was literally written out for god knows how long she was hardly ever did anything and then she's come back but she has she has no kind of around it there isn't a kind of a little kind of culturally of kind of stories which we can actually remember to refer back to but i mean she did have some quite dramatic things she had george barford she had but this isn't here this is like 80s stuff maybe the her and the jimmus thing was going somewhere well you know that was all quite sweet and then that just vanished that that would have been that would have made some form of sense you know two people in you know the sunset years kind of just getting together and doing the crossword together but even that it needed a little bit more than that but her and burt fundamentally kind of have no point other than nostalgia yeah that's all it is yeah and but burt but burt has one thing to hang his kind of character hook on which is his or two things actually it was always the fact he's always talking about freed and freed and never said a bloody word and then it then it sees a dreadful poem so let's say you you know you begrudgingly say okay if you're looking for an easy workout you're in the wrong place peloton tread has what you need

if you just switch in the show one you know in the last couple of years ago but why but you know he's been in it forever so you do listen to down the line no okay no mind forget it one thing that popped into my head what was that Lucy what well well i'm asking you you don't know what popped into my mat um i'm about to find out the one i can get my words together yeah but at the moment my well i'll be struggling with my big time today so you're in good company excuse me um do you remember that when the village all fell down we had that peculiar bit with joe saying oh it was what's his name uh pulling mr. pulling i suddenly saw him looming up in front of me yeah yeah that was one episode gone never talked about again i thought is this going to be a series of hauntings by mr. pulling is this what we have to look forward to are we going to discover that mr. pulling was accidentally buried under the village hall what the whole thing the episode go out was it september october no idea well because i said i said to somebody i think on the twitters how could it be october we're not in october well i'm coming on to the reasons why i said to somebody blood yel it's you know it's counterboggin poisoner and somebody in twitter said royford you not realize we are coming up to halloween so that's the reason why it's been into this story line coming up again so what's going to fall down this time mr. pulling is going to go around pushing over the dauwhouse or something i i i don't know i don't know but yeah you know on the one hand you know i actually kind of quite applaud the script writers for throwing in these kind of seeming kind of red herrings you know these kind of story lines that cut little lines go nowhere just non sequiturs yeah and you're trying to you're trying to work out which is like an act of christy which one of these is actually going to link back to something and which one is just an absolute archer's script writer cul-de-sac that i'm going to disappear up i never return it's like that funniest day on loxley barret isn't it yeah oh hi it's kerna beaching first-time caller in a mirror and i've been neck by royfield to do it so i'm doing it um just to say that please can we drop the flower and produce show flowers i've got a couple of bitty hydrangeas left how come they've got roses and everything don't get that at all or i've got a plot prediction about rob i think henry's going to kill him accidentally but he's going to be doing it protecting helen anyway that's it i'm too scared to say any more cheers now bye candida beaching wants to know why the uh residents of ambridge are able to have a flower and produce show when pretty much every garden in england is a battered brown wreck at the moment my garden personally is a sea of khaki that is the only way to describe it if i was asked to enter a flower and produce show i would have to steal flowers from the local cemetery and pass them off as my wildflower bouquet um and yet they've got albertine flowers from the flower cellar outside the cemetery lucy i don't know um flowers cellar outside the cemetery listen to you dick van dyke what are you talking about what sort of what sort of london do you live in oh the old flower cellar outside the cemetery but hand get your roses in my darling you've got a lot of money have you never been to kenzel rice cemetery certainly not it's beautiful it's absolutely massive and there's a flower cellar out there and uh the cemetery where when we grand and the granddad have buried in vermingham in northfield oh well i must i'm clearly hanging around the wrong cemeteries i need to up my game cemetery wise don't i absolutely um yes i did i agree absolute bloody rubbish uh they'll have to enter rice as i said the other week because the only thing that they can apparently grow in they would be able to grow in all this boggy post-floodness is rice and things that like swamps um and she thinks that henry is going to kill rob good oh please that's no way and also she's a first-time caller in a row i know and i i twisted around big time to call in thank you candida for calling in that was uh lovely to hear your voice bonjour you too this is Jacqueline better from sanguine in lovely sunny britainy france i feel slightly more inspired to make a comment on the last week in amber just listening to the omnibus after several weeks it's been very bland and blur there's a lovely scene the pub when ed said something about posterior presentation and everyone went ooh i thought it was just classic i was very glad to have Neil back and was delighted that he was expressing compassion for the refugees at least current affairs is creeping back into well that's it for now and hope to see you all in air france very soon by the way the photo that you use to illustrate episode 75 on the website is actually a photo of my alga vanilla bye Jacqueline Bertot fed up with pip and add a good snigger at the posterior presentation it's always good when the farming bits i eat the really the point of the program in this it's more laughs than the actual character bits it's like oh no how funny they're doing farming ha ha ah yes bum first poor old cow though i felt very sorry for her having everybody heaving bits out of her and all that and hooves sticking out must be bloody awful being a cow anyway hey dumpty dum jennifer exile here calling from the south of france about votes for women and Helen and Rob i really enjoyed getting a bit of light relief into the Helen and Rob story last week Rob i'd obviously thought nothing about letting Helen out to a harmless wi event until the moment when he heard she was going to wear a suffragette sash brilliant oh my god she might get ideas from those subversive old women like Jill and Carol ever knows where that could lead she might even start to want to vote with her own opinion in her own shop next quick henry's upset you must come home for god's sake and jennifer turner said that the irony of Rob demanding that Helen came back from a suffragette thing can i just say one thing about old pip yes right who has been written up to be this incredibly capable farmer just happens to be female she did not take a battering you know so she's done this posterior presentation she she saved her brookers from getting flooded her and tom she did something else tarmac to road all by herself exactly you know you know and it's like the poor woman just gets moolered both of just saying you know just saying okay she's a little bit crap when it comes to uh the fair brethren but give her a little bit of a break not you personally no just saying everybody else it's weird isn't it how how people dislike her but in the same way that people dislike moof hmm no exactly yeah but we dislike everybody they pretty much don't we i don't know i know yourself you're very nice i am i'm a nice person talking about nice people yes um guess what Lucy what uh because you know this is just a thinly disguised vehicle from me and myself promotion this old dumb d-dump right great so a thousand and one conversations i've actually finally put it up on ichames ah yeah i saw it yeah i saw you tweeting about it very good where's my review oh i'll do that candida where's my review Jacqueline Bertot where's my review goddess diva where's my review paul room where's my review and ichames now please listen to it because the work of action on addiction is absolutely excellent and um i have some great testimonies on on there women who have gone into that center and really got benefit and treatment from being part of their program um action on addiction great charity please listen to the show it is on ichames now finally finally um give it a little bit of a give it half an hour every time and hopefully you will be informed and also entertained but they really do great work we've had some emailer ineras okay uh vicky said i wanted to say i think all this cattiness about christines ginger biscuits is a bit mean although frankly how hard can it be but i hope hazelbroke her teeth on them my main point is real unease about the adoption idea is Rob's long-term plan to drive Helen into such a state that she would be considered unfit mother and take henry away from her yes um another sinister thing was they were discussing the shop with Tom and he said what was it i said about that last night darling and she was expected to parrot back what he'd said what if she hadn't been able to another trigger for him to be nasty to her it all seems to be part of her losing her own identity lots of love to you and dumpty dummas all thank you very much vicky uh charlotte said i just want to say that i am so happy that it brought lil that the wi party brought lillian back baying for jin and um we're supposed to believe that hazel now has a heart regarding the shop and we're supposed to be happy but i think that it'll now mean that hazel will be focusing her genuinely evil eye on booting the grondies out of their flooded home and back to a caravan or the cider shed um uh and she said i can't write about teaching up too much without getting the mega rage and cosmo said at long last the 10-year lease on the shop has been remembered the court would support the lessee so slithine was patently silly to spend any money until she held cunning consent and formally found a way of terminating the lease she is not a good business person this story was as senseless as david leaving brookfield and then he said he doesn't think the sturlings are coming back from italy but he said he's slightly biased because he's writing this insisily and can say no more except beware horses heads yes do you think they're coming back hope so i know we've learned that any kind of oliver and i love me some oliver idea yeah and also we only got kathy mentioned oh yeah me and cat roy said me and kathy or do the interviewing and i thought oh i've forgotten kathy was even there well in rables yeah well less said about kathy perks the better however the sturlings i do like then come back yeah yeah we're doing what because talking about kind of uh character calledy sax this is whole thing where caroline last year was working itself up into a frasal remember so that and then they went up and they had that dreadful standing for them remember yes yeah we're gonna must everything up yeah you know that storyline just completely notaly went yes they may come back from this very relaxing uh grandi world of tuscany holiday and actually realize actually that was so relaxing that we're going to quit the hotel and then they will pass it on to roy or whatever somebody will buy it possibly adam and eon uh how would they have that amount of cash i have no idea um but money seems to expand and contract in ambridge depending on how much it is necessary for storylines so ed doesn't have money for a lot of things that all of a sudden does have money to buy shedlodra cows when he needs to to move a storyline on so it that might be that's the only thing i can think of that they might come back they're either won't come back or they'll come back and um and they'll and they'll and they'll they'll sell it to sell it and they're gonna retire yeah see they could take over the bull hmm but caroline would be able to have dips on the bull before yeah she did and that is it anyway that is the end of that calls and the emailerina and the emailerina okay well uh all right well let's um take a break and then when we come back we have a very special different millie bit hello i'm sarah smith proud sponsor of dumpty dum if you want to polish up your albian give your optics a wipe or even mop up after your ferrets sarah smith cloths are eco-friendly reusable and washable and you know a bit posh sarah smith available from sainsbury's for the posher washer proud sponsors of dumpty dum fancy getting your mouth around something warm something comforting you can really get a firm grip on why not buy a dumpty dum mug from the shop at dumptydum.com those damn lovely good day everyone it's millie bell here so i haven't really got much for roundup from the facebook page because i've been traveling across to the us and i have with me today stewart arandale who is the very famous graphics guy from upstairs at the ball that i've spoken about before and i just thought it would be really fun to interview him because he's a he's been listening to the arches even longer than i have and stewart you were telling me that the reason you listen is you love the voices of the sexy voice you do you love the sexy voices so tell me why have you been listening for as long as you have why i don't really know it's it's tricky because it just a great show that it's it captures you and keeps you going i mean i think i've been listening since late 70s 1978 what's the first story that really you really remember i think shuler just broken up with mark hepton and then there was jackie woodstock went round and was seeing mark and she appeared naked in the window and i thought oh that was amazing you know i was quite captured for that and after that i moved abroad i moved to singapore and then uh formed an arches of pre uh arches adics we actually formed two of us because we wanted to get arches on well service so that we could listen more easily than having tapes shipped over to us every week and it used to be an hour show which was good and then when they changed it to 75 minutes it just didn't fit on one side of a cassette anymore so that's right it was a real pain um so i think i was listening most weeks there but not every single week and i must admit um yeah as as a as a someone who moved away from the uk i i i i i agree with that so who's been your favorite character if you had to pick one character all the time you've been listening who would you pick i know you're a bit of a fan of uscha and i am i think i think she's great i like um i think you're going to go with nelson or somebody somebody for you know from from the stories and things that he got up to everything he was involved with on it from the male robbery and yes uh the antiques business and dilly dallies with shuler and things so i mean i seem to remember shiller is going around to the to the bar he had and she she's so quiet now isn't she and um i think that's right so okay so give me your best plot prediction for a current storyline and edgy pick any one you like which one will you pick well the ginger biscuits not the ginger biscuits one story i don't think christine will win the ginger biscuits right go back to the sky okay okay that's your best pick is it uh i think the real main storyline of interest obviously robin hellen and you know that i'm really still rooting for hellen on this because i really don't want it to go bad i don't want him he's already hurt him more than i wanted him ever to we had uh so do you think things are going to work out there or not because we're still not i'm really no um i don't know i really hope so and come on script writers you can do it all right we might leave it there because we have to go and watch some whales and i have to catch some of these um california rays and um i will speak to you next week have an awesome week on the arches hooroo that's jew at arindale he is an absolute stalwart of the old kind of archers facebook them really is yeah it's rather clever too uh so uh it's nice hearing your voice there Stuart and uh do you know millie bell he's just like saunty not in down california right now you see yeah yeah there's lovely pictures of her um and her pals because i think the whole point was she was going over there uh to meet a couple of them because i've never actually met they've all been friends for years exchanging messages on um on facebook about the archers and uh and then she's gone over there and Stuart's flown in from wherever and yeah yeah that is a glamorous tweet up isn't it absolutely puts all of us to shame that's going to say we just go to a cafe not an ill exactly they really don't you know don't must about they do things at all but anyway um there was lovely pictures of her in monterey at the state reserve and there's whales and seals and all sorts and it just all looks very lovely anyway loose mm-hmm with baited breath yes i'm now going to listen to you talk about your hashtag the archers tweets of the last seven days uh liz anderson christmas storyline wishlist for the archers one rob to die two rob to die three scruff sounds scruff found safe and well in tasminia like herald bishop in neighbors excellent uh Geraldine roe this is this is really maybe laugh hoped to finish making my quince jelly

doesn't help does it not much but i have one i have an awesome one what we're not going to be alone next week on the show oh yes i've got how could you get it should we give people a clue about who it is just gonna like can i do the clue thirsty no that was more great sartre getting burnt in the barn no it was Nigel falling off lower loxley roof which apparently transformed itself into the eiffel tower bearing in mind the length of the scream is coming on the show grave seed is coming on the show next week so we've deliberately left feeling a little flat yes uh-huh and we've deliberately left this all the way to the end so only people who have waded through all the podcast nonsense get this little nugget so if you've got a question you'd like to pose to gram for slash Nigel please call it in on speak pipe he will be answering your calls he's going to snuggle up to lucy on the old city it's going to be most awesome and he will be in his gorilla suit with the ice cream ban why please remind me of the background to that whole story the gorilla suit it was young farmers and there was him and Tim what was he called Tim hooray henry and Tim beach him that's right and well done that's going back years i know and he was trying to get it he was going out Nigel was going out with shula at the time and he was dressed as a young farmer and a bit dressed as a young farmer he was a young farmer dressed as a gorilla i can't remember why fancy dress ball and he tried to get into bed with shula but by accident got into bed with phil dressed as a gorilla wowzer as far as i remember well there's been a few questions already posed on various different bits of social media saying do you still have the suit anyway so please folks and also people go are you coming back which seems unlikely highly unlikely though it wouldn't be without precedent if he came back as another character though would it that would be very confusing well you could put on a little bit of an accent no one else bothers i don't know why you would very true but no seriously folks call in speak pipe in get your questions in to uh gram seed forward slash Nigel and uh the next show is going to be about him it's going to be most excellent and Lucy is all beside herself with excitement yeah awesome all right that's it that's us out yo bye now as we've been discussing earlier on in the show the rural soap opera the archers is one of the great cultural products of the west midlands produced at bbc Birmingham listen to all over the world and this week marks the 60th anniversary of one of the show's most celebrated moments we heard a little clip of it earlier it's so good we thought we'd hear it again this is the moment when 20 million people tuned in as grace archer was killed off in a house fire take these two okay i got you it's an inferno in there this one's his dries at tinder come on get well away big nice big nice whoa oh my gosh we're looking to get him out here suddenly where what's up midnight couldn't have been tied and look she's going back into the stable what no grace no don't do it she's going in after midnight a great grace grace come back the rooms collapsing the god's sake grace come back he'll fill your pool let me go grace it in there let me go blast it come back blast it let's get a word with roy field brand roy originally from peribar now lives in london er he runs an archer's podcast morning to you roy how are you i'm fine thank you how are you i'm good so 60 years on since that famous episode well i think the anniversary is in a few days time but you know this this month anyway the archer's is 65 for anything to last 65 years it's phenomenal how good a radio soap opera do it right i think because the archer's has actually moved with the times the first uh 20 odd years it was still was uh a government a message to help farmers um you know get information about farming disguised as a soap opera is that how it started it was kind of a like a public information absolutely absolutely just after the second world war the government said this would be great way to get information to to the rural economy to drive to the rural economy the farmers and they disguised this as as a soap opera and up until the 1970s you still have these kind of uh these uh homes fund messages about um we're about what to do at the start of even the omnibus editions of the archers before the actual drama started and even now when you listen at the end i know the government doesn't tell people what to say now on the archers but you do have the agricultural affairs editor or advisor don't you they do have someone with real agricultural knowledge or inputs into the programme and it absolutely does in lots of ways represent um this very traditional kind of beating heart of of england because you know there's always the uh the village fate in the middle of the summer there's always the village panto etc etc but around that you have these absolutely compelling uh characters and you have these very believable families and i think that's the reason why this thing has endured for so long because um you can you can somewhat dip in and dip out uh but these families are still there the characters the enduring characters still still last and i was listening to that clip you had norman painting on there and norman only died somewhat four five years ago and um and um when i listened to the show and i listened to um tim benti coup place his son david archer you know i i this i still get a sense of continuity yeah and uh yeah people have pointed out you know isn't it a bit odd that the the the country's only rural soap opera is made in the heart of industrial bermingham uh it is a bit odd i suppose but it's been a great base for the archers throughout its career i i think that um bermingham hasn't quite made enough of the fact that it produces the archers when i think of uh bermingham soaps in the media or anything to be i actually think of coffee of course you do you know and and that gets lambasted yeah but i think typical of us as brommies that one thing that we really do well and we don't really celebrate it it's a little bit of a secret and you run this little podcast called dominatine jungle hey what do you mean little oh sorry this let let me rephrase that quick can we scrub that out and start again please you run this enormous massive giant podcast called dumpy tom which is because of play on the archer's theme over and above the the archers itself and what do you have to say in a podcast what what do you do in the podcast yeah um well over and above the archers we basically myself and my co-host lucy freeman and a cast of some 18 000 um other listeners who we just shoot the breeze about our favorite docu soap and uh we have callers that call in call it a docu soap oh yeah yeah yeah um we have um my co-host lucy is a bit of a comic genius and she writes a monologue each week with sums up the last week in ambridge and then i just kind of try and somewhat uh marshal the whole uh bit of chaos along but we've been doing it for a year and a half we do every week um we've uh we've got into the top 100 of i tunes because it's so incredibly popular we've had tim benting who plays david archer on the show we've had the lovely join a band camp and he plays valent on the show bad script writes from the archer on the show it's just um a very fun way for archer's fans to discuss um our passion and it's very much comedic and one of the things which we actually love is that because we are trying to convert the world into the world to convert the world into the church of archerdom and and we do it through uh taking a little bit of it a slide swipe at our favorite show and you know having a little bit of fun so lots of people we know actually listen to our podcast and actually don't even listen to the archer because it was kind of finally quite funny nice to speak yeah royfield brand originally from perry bar runs the archer's podcast dumpty dum which has i think 18 000 listeners hi um royfield and lucie this is delirious mary from dublin i just want to
