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

DTD 88 - The Mid Sussex Brass Band rock the house!

Barwick Green rang out across the swimming pool in Thailand, courtesy of the Mid Sussex Brass Band, including the Doom section!Lucy noted that Ruth is keen on cows and life again (on the other side of the world) whilst David is on the point of selling them and then she quoted an entire "Round the Horne" script. Elizabeth is about to inherit a second of Shula's exes in the form of DDD - the Deadly Doc Dick!Ro.i.field wants a DTD without any mention of Roy & Helen as it is now unbalancing the podcast as much as the original docu-drama, although he had missed at least one episode.The personality transplant fairy is spending a bit too much time in Ambridge with not enough character consistency; this is inevitable on TV but hopefully avoided on The Archers. Homeland was held up as an example to follow.Lucy predicted that Ian and Adam would not get married next week; with the potential for Rob to cause mischief and Charlie's infatuation with bollocks, at least I think that is what she said.And we all love Oliver for rescuing the Grundies. In case you missed it Dan is going out with Dorothy.Later Millie commented on David's missing bollocks and Ruth's rubbish explanation over buying an air ticket which may be related.KosmoOn this week’s episode we have calls from:Candida Beeching who’s in cheery moodBlithe Spirit who thinks the Archers should take a leaf out of Homeland’s book Witherspoon who says TitchynaaabJo Jo Sexy Heels who says Elizabeth has formAndrew Horne who can see where Rob gets it from

Hey I'm Ryan Reynolds, recently I asked Mint Mobile's legal team if big wireless companies are allowed to raise prices due to inflation, they said yes. And then when I asked if raising prices technically violates those onerous to your contracts, they said what the f*ck are you talking about? You insane Hollywood f*ck. So to recap we're cutting the price of Mint unlimited from $30 a month to just $15 a month. Give it a try at mintmobile.com/switch. $45 up from payment equivalent to $15 per month, new customers on first three month plan only, taxes and fees extra, speed slower above 40 gigabytes of details. Let's talk about something that's not always top of mind but still really important. Life insurance. Why? Because it offers financial protection for your loved ones and can help them pay for things like a mortgage, credit card debt, it can even help fund an education. And guess what? Life insurance is probably a lot more affordable than you think. In fact, most people think life insurance is three times more expensive than it is. So with state farm life insurance, you can protect your loved ones without breaking the bank. Not sure where to start? State Farm has over 19,000 local agents that can help you choose an option to fit your needs and budget. Get started today and contact a state farm agent or go to statefarm.com. This podcast is a Royfield Brown production. Find others on iTunes. Alright, yeah I know. At Bridge Farm Cafe, we always use Sarah Smith cloths. When I was at Brookfield, they only had those nasty blue and white ones, but these are in vintage. Like our furniture, balance sets I have to call our cakes vintage, not the style. Sarah Smith, for the posture washer. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] And a scale of one to a gabillion. How moved were you when you got that? A gabillion and three. Me too. Because we both, it was really early in the morning, wasn't it? And we both messaged each other and said, oh my God, I'm behind that, you're so lovely. Yeah. Oh, nice. Look what we're part of. I know. It wasn't that we had a little moment, didn't we? Yeah, we did. We did. It was really, really, and all those people going to doing all that. It was just amazing. And there is something so, as Fiona said to herself, there is something so lovely in Christmassy about brass bands at Christmastime as well. Yes. It kind of, the whole thing was just, I was in bits and it wasn't, it was fucking the morning. Absolutely. You know, you've literally felt the little flecks of snow drift down and the sali army outside. I don't know. It was, it was lovely. Thank you mid Sussex brass band. Thank you, female. And that was just like most awesome, most awesome. And trust me, folks, you'll be hearing that again and again. Every week, probably. And again. But loose, is somebody else wants to try, try, try, try to emulate that, or maybe just have a different take on the old dumb, dumb, dumb theme. How can I win the act like a dumb, dumb, dumb of the week? If you would like to sing us a dumb, dumb, dumb, give us a plot prediction or suddenly remember you have an empty five bedroom home, ring us on Oh, two, oh, three, one, three, one, three, one, oh, five, or leave us a message on speak pipe. Thanks to lovely shampages for her amazing voices to Cosmo for his podcast roundups and to Sarah Smith for sponsoring us. Thanks. You also to Derek for loading the back bedroom. Derek is a bit emotional today. He watched the X Factor final last night and was inspired by Rita Ora to perform a solo act of his own. I tell you what Rita Ora did not look like Jennifer Lopez yesterday. Oh, no. Well, it was that dress, isn't it? With it's all the strategic bits missing and replacing bits of. Well, it was the dress. Now, I'm a big J Lo fan because I'm just like attracted to her full stop. However, she can't really dress to be honest. She can't dress though. But she's just just what an attractive woman. Yeah. Good grief. It looks like a double base dressed up as a parent. That's quite an apt, quite an apt description. However, I, you know, I've been swept along with a Reggie and Bully love, but that, that's that second song, holy crap. I don't know what you're talking about because I didn't watch it, but I, yes, he didn't win and a student did. Is that right? I think she's still at school. She's only 17. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, she's got a proper pair of pipes. She's doing it for her family. Is she? Has she got a dying namma? No, she's that young. I'm sure she's probably got a dying great nana. You know, she's only sitting there. She just looks like a little starlet. And I say fair play to, but Reggie and Bully, lots of fun, though, they were stitched up doing that last song. But anyway, moving swiftly on. Moving swiftly on. This week we have calls from Candida Beaching, who's in a cheery. Is that Cherry? Cherry? Oh, he's cherry. Candida Beaching, Candida Beaching, who's in a cheery mood, a blind spirit. Oh, I love a bit of a blind spirit, me, who thinks the archer should take a leaf out of Homelands book. Hmm. Not so sure about that blind spirit, but we'll come to that later with a spoon who says, didgy knob, Jojo, Sexy Hills, who says Elizabeth has form an Andrew Horn, our boy, bringing up the rear, who can see where Rob gets it from. But first, before or that, before the biscuit and history talk, before we delve into in-depth analysis by you, dear listener of the last week in Ambridge, it's Lucy V. Freeman, with her sideways glance of all things. Borsitcha! David went for lunch at home farm, one-handed. Terrible jazz played in the background. David flung peas around and mashed carrots into the carpet. A lovely family sunday. "We're not in New Zealand!" said Brian Brightley. That's good then. He still knows where he is. Maybe he should have a chat with Alistair. "Whose paintings? We're not in New Zealand! Do you dress in gown up?" Brian reminisced about going camping with scouts. He was 46 at the time, and he got told off for fiddling with his woggle. Uh, David is letting things get on top of him apparently. Well, it's not surprising. With only one good army can't fight them off, whoever they are. To put the tin hat on it, he then broke all the calves. So Matthew gave them all Tixillix and a hot water bottle. To cheer Ruth up when she comes back to a barn full of dead cows, he's bought her an ornament of a cow and a calf. Coughing. But she's not coming back, because she has been so enthused by New Zealand that she bounced out of bed this morning apparently. "Whose bed?" she didn't say. Then David said he's fed up with the cows anyway and he wants to get rid of them. For crying out, David, could you just stop changing things while Ruth's not there? Just for a day, don't have any more bright ideas. He's flopping about like a loom. By the time she comes back, the cows would be gone. Brookfield would be a garden centre, and David would have converted to Judaism all for no apparent reason. Uh, Pip and Josh played rugby. Adams' days as a prop are long over, apparently. He's got a tumble dryer now instead. The ladies love a bit of athletic prowess, according to Toby. Then Toby walloped into Rex, even I know that you don't move someone who's got a back injury, but no. Pip hauled him up off the pitch, slung him over one arm and headed off to Manchester General. And Ursula, Queen of the Titchinobs, appeared, and she sounds as horrible as someone who could produce a Titchinob would be. She has white coffee with one sugar. What does that mean? I found myself asking feverishly. Does that mean she gave Rob too much sugar as a child? Not enough? Anyway, as I said last week, I don't care anymore. Amazon delivered Kate's yurts. Jenny was in Oxford with febs and Brian was at a conference, so they dropped a note through and left them under the mat. "Soil needs attention," said Adam, "and apparently so, does Charlie. Can't we not do this here? It's hardly private. Charlie, absolutely very, very far. As the cows are notorious gossips. So these cows, they're all better now then. Are they? Only you haven't said or anything. So we'll just assume they are, then. Good. Okay. Adam and Charlie had the type of exchange that he's normally only heard performed by Dame Sealy, a mole strangler, an aging juvenile, binky huckaback. You know, don't you? I know, you know. I know, you know, I know that he taught what to be taught. "Come away with me to the wilds of Scotlandshire," said Charlie. "That is far away," said Adam. "Yes," said Charlie, "and we can run around under the palm trees and be free." Charlie's like the sort of person who sits next to you on a plane and appears perfectly civilized, and you relax, and then he starts talking about the government controlling the clouds, and would you like to see his tinfoil hat? Anyway, it prompted Adam to use his special grown-up voice and peculiar delivery with the sinking inflection to say, "Because that's what life's like. It settles down." Linda was wearing love beads in the shop, and Susan took umbrage announcing it was unhygienic, and the noises were putting off the customers. Susan was on insensitivity duty this week. She managed to piss off Elizabeth, by reminding her that she'd Roger Roy, pissed off Clary by saying how nice it was that everyone was back in their own homes and getting on with their lives, as Clary was struggling to cope, not only with their terraces, but also with a father-in-law whooping into a trap den. "Why on earth Clary likes Susan? I don't know." She performs as sort of offensive pragmatism. "Well, there's no point sugar-coating. It is there, Clary. Your life is a bag of shite, but everyone else is all right, so concentrate on them. You're just doomed to failure, and quite frankly, you're bringing me down. Anyway, it's Christmas, so smile. And I am wondering about Richard and Elizabeth. They seem to get on very well. The Taylor and Burton denougeour, perhaps Richard flinging his diamonds about Elizabeth getting pissed and shouting. Dan is still a friend of Dorothy and is taking her to his mess. Ew. We're not really going to have Dan and Dorothy, are we? Are we? Really? Whose whimsical idea was that script writers, you won't take it out the back and shoot it, whoever you are. And in a move, guaranteed to amaze and thrill and surprise, almost no one at all. All of us suddenly remembered that he had an empty house that needed someone in it, and he knew a family that needed a home. One day, he was sitting in their Italian villa, San Iteri pads. Caroline was attending a lecture at the Uffizi on neoclassical art, and Oliver was at home because he'd got his fingers stuck up the tap. After a good deal of thought, he came to him like a bolt from the blue. Let's move Jazarin! No. Even better, let's move the grandis in. Well, Dan Oliver, you've got there three months after the listeners. And at the moment, that is pretty good going, the end. You were surprised, because you said it was going to happen at Christmas, and I said, no, no, no, no, no, I have faith in the script writers, they're not going to be so hack me this to do that. So no, no, no, no, no. By the way, I quite enjoyed that this week. Thank you very much. Yes, no, I'm glad they didn't do it on Christmas Eve, but I am very glad that they're in there. I mean, you kind of think, oh, all right, you're annoyed with them, because it's so bleeding obvious that's what's going to happen, but then you still can't help this cheesy sense of relief when it does happen. You think, good, it's almost like crossing something off you to do list, you know, write Christmas cards, order turkey, get sausage meat, sort out grondies. You can cross that one off, I could stop worrying about that, then you just got Helen and Rob, you know, next, I've wrapped the presents, I've ordered the gift vouchers, Helen and Rob, yum, yum, yum, yum. Now, far bit from me to forensically go through your monologue for you men, but Ursula has coffee, white, no sugar, not with one. She said one sugar. She said none. I'm going to go and listen again. Because, you know, I, you know, I go through every line of the archers before we broadcast, because I've never broadcast without having copious amounts of notes after listening to it. What was it you were saying to me just before we started up Skype? I said, I said, like this old, I never listened. I just found one I'd never heard. Which happened to be that one? No, that was the one before, wasn't it? But yeah, show up you. Well, shall we go and see what the wonderful call Reynolds have got to say about the last week? Hello, Ambridge 3962. Hi, Dummy Dum. It's Colonel Beeching here. It's Monday night, eight o'clock. Just come back from a dog walk listening to the archers, and I've just got a horrible plot prediction, because Helen's just foreshadowed that she had preeclampsia last time, and I've now got a horrible feeling that Helen's going to develop a clampsia. She's going to die, therefore leaving the new titino baby and Henry with Rob, which is going to leave this storyline running and running and running with Helen out of the way, Robin told control of the children. Oh, she's going to be ghastly. Please make it stop. Now, Candida Beeching, who is clearly as much of a fan as Christmas as me, she's in very gloomy mood, said, Helen's going to die. That's a positive plot prediction. But I did like the fact that she did this chilling plot prediction, appalling appalling plot prediction, and then went anyway, cheer me by. The thing is, I think Louisa Petakis has done such a fantastic job, and she's such a good actress. I think they'd be bonkers to loser, but then I was thinking, well, Nigel, they have got form for binning people that nobody wants them to bin. Yeah, but this is somewhat different, because Nigel was held in great affection by just about everyone. And even though people feel… Helen's held and affected by no one. Exactly. You know, though she's obviously being… Yeah, but no, absolutely, definitely played by the actor. But anyway, you know what I've decided to do? Well, I'm going to try and get through a dumbly dumb and not mention Robin Helen. Do you know I was thinking that as well. It was so difficult to find tweets of the week that weren't just… I want him to die. There are other things going on. Not that many, but yeah. Ah, well, okay, this is going to be a bit tricky then, because Blind Spirit mentions it too. Hello, Dunty Dun, Blind Spirit calling. On me, lovely new Mike. Well, I haven't listened to the episodes this week, but what I did want to do was to respond to Lucy's comments last week about the Rob and Helen's storyline. My reaction really has been similar, if not pretty much the same. I've had sort of three processes to this. The first one is… this really is unbearable. I can't listen to it. It's too difficult. The second phase was… well, as a card-carrying feminist, I really object to the whole barefoot and pregnant thing. This is just really offending me. And the third one, and this is where I am at now, is that I'm just bored. The whole thing has gone on far too long. It needs to be wrapped up. It's outstayed, it's welcome. Now, I have to keep coming back. I don't know. This is tedious, but I do have to do it. Keep coming back to this parallel with TV soap, because Royfield, you're absolutely right. The baddie is such a familiar and hackney trope in TV. You have one baddie, and their presence just dominates everything else. It permeates. It's like a heart of darkness. I can go kind of releasing its nasty little tentacles out into the rest of the drama, to the detriment of everything else. It becomes completely unbalanced. Lots of other stuff falls by the wayside. I'm going to go a bit off-piste here, because I want to talk about homeland. Bear with me, because this is relevant to the arches. Homeland is a really good study in drama for three reasons. The first one is that it credits its audience with intelligence. This looks back to something that Lucy said last week about don't patronise us. You know, we've got brains in our heads. This is a radio for all audience. Homeland expects you to keep up. You really have to pay attention, and that's the mark of a good drama, is that it challenges you. The second thing is that the writing is so on the ball. It's whip smart. There are reveals, there are plot twists and turns, there's a cliffhanger every week. This season, season five has had me on the edge of my sea. It is that good. And the third thing, and I think this is the most relevant one to the arches, is that the writers of homeland know how to drive a plot without interfering with the characters. Now, in the arches, what they do is they drive a plot, but in order to facilitate that, the characters have these bizarre personality transplants. In homeland, what happens is that the characters react truthfully in a given situation. And we have a really strong sense of history with them, which is fantastic, because they do this either via flashback, or they refer back to things that have happened in the past, which consolidates the sense of that character and their motivation. Really, really strong, really good stuff. So if the editor isn't already watching homeland, I would strongly urge him to get hold of a box set and positively binge on it, because it is an absolute masterclass in good drama writing. That's my, that's my 10 penith. She said the arches script writers should take a leaf out of homelands book. And I know you went mmm, I'm not sure about that. But she said a it credits his audience with intelligence. And that it does do a I said that it does do that it does do and she said that the characters the cat the at the what seems to be happening at the moment with the arches is that the characters are being bent to fit the plot, not the other way around. Characters are being it's like they've got they've taken the plarches tightly, quite slightly too seriously, under now thinking they can wiggle people's arms and legs around and make them behave in a certain way, because that fits the story lines that they want, rather than them behaving true to type sort of thing. So she said that's why it should take a bit of a bit of influence from from from homeland. I don't know I kind of understand and I think I agree with the blind spirits fundamental point, but I'm not so sure about using homeland as the kind of perfect example of you know a contemporaneous a good contemporary drama that is just written so well. Yes, it doesn't pack well I haven't listened I haven't watched it since halfway through season two. It was there were just too many plot twists for me. Have you ever watched it? Yeah, yeah, how far have you got with it? I only ever watched the first series of everything so I've watched the first series. Yeah, so watch first season then I got halfway through the second and what I thought was absolutely brilliant about it was the fact that you're kept on the edge of your seat as to whether he was genuinely this you know traumatized vet coming back or whether he actually was a kind of a spy. But too many plot twists for me. Though I forget her name but Danes, something like a Danes, Claire Danes, good God is she played well. Yeah, there's a woman on the edge. Great actor again. Oh, I went I once went to a dinner party and I says bloody hell that bloke looks like that bloke from homeland and was nudged and so shut up that's his brother. We did laugh, looked like him. You know proper gingre and everything he was and yeah yeah yeah so he's like shut up. Anyway, um blind spirit she's not really listening much is she? Is that what she said in her call? Yeah, no, she's she's um I think she's getting fed up with the the storyline that will not be mentioned. Yeah, well well um hang on in love because fingers crossed and you won't have much more to to get through. Greetings Lucy Royfield and all dumb tea demers around the world. It's Witherspoon and Angus Haggis here enjoying a warm Santa Con day here in New York City. So let's first get the following out of the way. Mrs. Bentos had asked that I state the unofficial name of the dark lord in my cute accent. So not just Rob but Tichinab. I'm actually uncomfortable using off color language but I'll say it thrice again. Tichinab, Tichinab, Tichinab. Speaking of the just mentioned person, what is up with his relationship with his mother Ursula? Obviously he's been keeping his conversations with her secret from Helen. She drops by unexpectedly but hey she hadn't gotten an invite yet. She was pleasant enough if somewhat controlling. I wasn't offended by her. What I was offended by was the dark lord's homophobic remarks about Adam and Ian. While one made debate whether Helen was right in birching the subject of godfatherhood with Ian without talking to Rob first, I was glad she did and impressed that she still had enough gumption to stand by her gay besties and not allow Rob to bully her out of attending their wedding. If there is going to be a wedding, if not, bets on who will sabotage it. Charlie or the dark lord? Well there's an odd couple if ever there was one. The Friday conversation between Adam and Charlie was tense and excellent. Poor Charlie, so in love with Adam that he expected him to give up everything for him in a moment. Or just so unrealistically in a fantasy world having spent his entire life in the closet and having no experience with real relationships, I could just imagine him all alone in his bed at night, pining for love he's never experienced. Now regarding Adam, I was sad to see that there appeared to be a moment of hesitation before he said goodbye Charlie. He gave up the dopamine rush of a hot guy for the steady release of oxytocin in his relationship with Ian. Hey that's what it's all about, but I thought that Adam was a bit too lukewarm in his endorsement of his long-term partner and his life. I'm still hoping they'll make it to the altar and beyond, but will Charlie burst into the registry office, Dustin Hoffman, graduate style, shouting "Adam, Adam!" And what of Rob, what devious plans will he have to torpedo the couple he views as so devious. Hmm, well I smell a lovely dinner my handsome husband is preparing, the joys of domestic bliss. So, time to go, Angus and I will have a lot to talk about next week. Hey baby I hear the blues are calling to salads and scrambled eggs. Massive. With a spoon, he very kindly says "Titchinab" for us. He says he doesn't like using off-color language. With a spoon what the hell are you doing listening to our podcast then? You must spend the whole time going "oh, good gracious" and things. Anyway, I was waiting for he who shall not be named to start talking about fairy godfathers and things when he when she was talking about having them as godparents. Charlie and Adam thing, I think it's actually, apart from me taking the mickey out of there. You know, don't you? I know you know I know. They'll awfully love you so. Yeah. Do you? Do you really? Oh, we can't carry on like this. Are you serious? I've never been more serious in my life than that. It's quite interesting because you forget how young Charlie is until he says shit like "Let's just run off to Scotland and we'll live together and see what happens" and you think "I'll tell you what, I'll happen three months in, you'll have a massive row, you'll run out of money, you'll have one of you will have to return to Ambridge" with the table between their legs. That is what he thinks that's what love is which sort of infatuation and it's obsession because he can't have Adam or he feels that he can't have it. Is it the fact that he's young but if I seem to remember when Charlie revealed that he kind of slightly swings both ways didn't he say he's never been in love? I could be wrong but I think he said he's never been in love. Do you remember? Yeah, that does ring a vague bell, yeah. But I don't think that this is love. I think this is infatuation and obsession because if he really loved Adam he'd leave him the hell alone and he'd wait for Adam to come to any decision Adam was going to make in his own time without putting ridiculous fourth year sort of pressures on him. I'll leave unless you love it, I'm going to leave. To be fair to Charlie. There's a stopwatch of ticking isn't there in terms of the "I'll best say what I've got a say now" and again to give Charlie Barber's spreadsheet is due. It's not as if he's been peppering Adam with sending him love notes and suggestive photos of bits of his anatomy via text as it for the last year. He's played it pretty straight really considering that he's in love with the guy or at least fans is him. To be fair. I was warming heavily to Charlie and then he says something on. Oh yes, yeah. Well any body that has a go at your grundies you don't like them. You're inverted class prejudice so you're low. Right often now. So if you don't move to Perthshire or Perthshire or have you pronounced it bloody well stay there. But anyway the wedding is not going to happen is it because there's so many you know oh god there's so many things that are destined to go tits up about this wedding it's you know something's going to go catastrophically wrong. And I just think Ian is so obviously that the wise budder of the of the whole show in terms of you know how to deal with the situation. Well the way you know the best revenge is living well isn't it? And he ought to say yes all right I've heard what you've said and I'm just going to do it anyway and not let himself be preyed on by that git. But no he's just a yeah he's a shit in it. He really is yes. Anyway so where are we? Trying not to talk about last night's night's night. Whether or not it's infatuation or love with Charlie and Adam and I am still coming down on the side of infatuation and as you as you said even if he is in love with Charlie no even if Charlie isn't in love with Adam if he's never been in love before he's kind of fallen for all the bollocks and thinks this is Wilson. You know it's Joseph Fraser. He's falling for the rubbish he's falling for the rubbish. I can't remember what I was buddy saying now. He's falling for his bollocks. Nobody would fall for someone's bollocks. So whether or not he thinks that's real love or what because he's never been in love before he thinks that that will be enough to get them through and anyone that has and has been out to come out the other side realizes no that is not what gets you through what gets you through is you know it's like people who say well he's a horrible bloke but you know if you're if you're ever in real trouble he's always there for you and you think well that's bloody easy then isn't it because you only have to be nice like once every year and a half it's being consistently nice every day to people that annoy you you know that's that's what real you know friendship is and that's what you know sort of a partnership is is is is you know the not letting things get to you and and keeping interested and and you know just being good friends sort of thing. We're still on with a spoon aren't we? We are sorry I'm which ring on yeah. No I tell you what what I love about with a spoon's calls is that you know he obviously you know very obviously is a it's a it's a proper doctor isn't he because you realize that all these feelings and emotions that we have are just just chemicals just hormones aren't they and he boils or boils it all the way down to that yeah so it's you know oxytocin or it's you know you know some some other Greeky Latin sounding thing you know so we're just a bundler chemicals and hormones yeah none of it really makes any former sense really but I've said this before when they when they did the brain survey of people who were in love in love love um and it it matched up exactly with the uh the the people are about to put in the madhouse no that people who had quite a significant bipolar disorder and were on a high a bipolar high and you know it is it is chemicals but we've created and I've done this before and bored everybody rigid but we have created an entire industry uh about this entirely chemical driven you know um bit of nothing really that is love because it's so powerful when you feel it and that's clearly what what Paul Charlie's wrestling with along with Adam's bollocks at the moment but he's not wrestling with his bollocks so is he wants to wrestle with them right oh boy Charlie um Andrew Horn greetings dumpty dummers it's Andrew Horn here what a great week we've just had on the archers so many things I could talk about but I'll keep it to a few Rob's fixation over a male heir well now we know where that comes from male hereditary fixation is obviously in the jeans as Ursula pops up the minute she's told and starts fussing around so that's uh that is obviously something in their family and Linda sniff great to have Linda Smith discovered amongst the Masai Mara beads I was wondering where that had gone um also Lizzie with her passion being stirred by by Richard you can see what's coming there and um I hadn't quite made the uh connection of course that Jojo sexy heels did um that it's uh it's just repeating the pattern of her first husband with Nigel if uh if she picks up shooters cast offs anyway the final point to reassure you all baby titchener is mummies boy not a daddy's boy I have been communing with him via the twitters and uh where he is uh at titchener baby and he assures me that he knows mummy needs help and uh so all will be well um come and join in the chat there as well oh horny boy but did you have any inkling that Rob was emailing his mother no but this is there has been another instance of this before hasn't nowhere on the one hand he says I hate the whole bat and we have you know I don't communicate with her but there is some level of communication yeah this is about the second time this has happened but um I suppose we're supposed to infer from that meeting you know the hella says oh yeah well oh god that was a bit interesting was it oh she was which was nice though Rob uh that you're supposed to you're supposed to feel some level of sympathy with Rob uh imagine what his childhood was like with this you know formidable and kind of cold woman and it's so that chimes Lucy mm-hmm oh god and we're not talking about Rob and Helen am I now I'll move swiftly on there Jesse cajones marvel superhero thing on Netflix oh yes yes yes yes that's what um oh god what's he called um well what's your thinking Justin Justin what's it on on the just in Farrington on the twitters said in between that storyline and the jessica jones storyline I am despairing of the entire male race basically so it's just making me feel very very depressed it is all about surviving abuse yes I'm watching it as well oh how far have you got how many episodes in uh I'm nearly at the end well that that's some grim stuff in there isn't that I know yeah absolutely grim and um and I recommend to anybody who thinks well this Marvel stuff is all about people with capes and and flying with superpowers oh no no no no no um here is um a protagonist who is uh somewhat tortured and you realize that she has very good reasons of being tortured well there's there's a double dose of torture don't isn't there there is um there is what she's suffered at the hands of uh the antagonist the baddie um some six years before yeah which we choose makes things worth watching which is fabulous yeah who is the proper evil baddie uh who doesn't want to conquer the world this is the thing you know and that's and it's played on just wants to conquer his own world yeah yeah and um and Jessica Jones is very sexy stomping around in her big boots and her sulky pout and her ficking her black hair around it it's very good and um it wasn't at all what let's talk about something that's not always top of mind but still really important

expected but um it's uh it's good so i recommend anybody with an internet connection to get your free netflix for a month and just just go watch that and um it's uh it's a well-written layered drama which made me think of um the person she shall not be named hi there damty dam it's jojo sexyheels here just boning in with my christmas thoughts around elisabeth it does seem to me like she can't make a new relationship of her own originally when she met Nigel he was one of shuler's cast off boyfriends and she was sounding extremely enthusiastic this week at discovering that dr lok was moving into the village far too excited for my my personal piece of mind does sound to me like we're gonna have a lizzy dr lok relationship i do hope that he's not going to be the um husband number two i do hope it goes dreadfully wrong and that shuler gets very upset and that lizzy and and shuler fall out permanently over it even though shuler supposedly happily married to the disappearing alice but you could see it coming it's flagged up just thought i'd bring that into the mix and i do love oliver sterling it out there i did put it on the twitters yesterday he saved the grondiz well done oliver i hope we never see or hear from you ever again and that you just leave the grondiz in situ so maybe christmas to everybody and um speak to you all soon bye jojo sexyheels um elisabeth has form for picking up shuler's cast offs like wearing yesterday's nickers off the bedroom floor um if she's a bit like autologous isn't she she's a snapper up of unconsidered trifles lisabeth she kind of um anyone anyone hanging around for too long or she was like hmm he might do you know it's sort of like i'll try them out kind of thing um i still think i still think ifty should come back because i still think he was the best and also he had no baggage he had no flipping history well he had no baggage he had no baggage because it was just the the cricket coach and master teacher you know he he knew nothing else about him no for all you know he was from bradford and he'd run away from an arranged marriage you don't know no he didn't sound like that no did he well as as you've said before on a couple of occasions if ever there is a a captivating origin on radio four there's always an arranged marriage which are running away from at some point if you've forgotten that you've said that no yes i have mmm there you go you're on form today aren't you i might mmm i might not normally no you're not to that despite missing an entire episode yes so uh then we'll have dr dick and elizabeth could work well he is moving in isn't he and again if there's an overarching theme to the last what 18 months it's a case of let's get old characters uh or at least old families back so we've got fair brothers we've got the grondies back whether you you know where they've historically lived we've got dr lock back we've got caroline trigoron back you know it goes on and on and on yeah you know it's it's a case of just uh the more things change and more they're staying the same it's been fair brethren well that's what i said the fair brothers oh sorry yeah you know we've got the fair you know the the fair brother family uh established back in the village mmm so uh a dan and dorothy does make sense oh god isn't that just the daftest thing you've ever heard no the first person that Donald trump is the daftest thing i've ever heard how can anybody take that man series just before he even opens his mouth you look at him and go you're an arse look at your hair you're an arse you thought that was a good idea that's before you've even said anything is that good god but he does make Nigel Farage look kind of quite measured and reasonable doesn't it it's like it's like do you remember when um as a there's an Irish comedian i can remember it is it talked about um after uh sort of Isis appeared and became or al- al- al- cada as it was then sort of became a um before it married and became Isis um uh when it sort of first appeared he said blimey said we we owe the art people of northern island oh al- al- cada are a huge favor because they've made us look like bleeding amateurs yeah trump makes Nigel Farage look like an absolute amateur yeah and all the pens lost doesn't she silly camp yes came third people don't need to listen to the world at one do they they can just listen to our reason to political debate laughing at people's hair and going ha but did you see that that bald eagle with with trump oh yes i think trump was saying well then you can purchase yourself on my hair that's obviously a bird's nest i think i've picked that a lot of him i've got kind of impeccable symbolism is that then he gets attacked by the single of America yeah no it's uh uh Nigel Farage you're not so bad after all you know in all things considered compared to that buffoon you know so yeah that's the end of the course but we have some letters oh letter a winner i like a letter in a roomy Fiona Powell yes said she sounds like an emmately sensible letter in error does Fiona he said happy birthday royfield oh thank you sorry i forgot but all the twitter people remembered which was very good not all of them not all of them some well you know statistically speaking i would say it was an insignificant amount that remembered oh you're talking about people that follow us not just all the twitter is that would be unrealistic no listen thank you for all my birthday wishes thank you um she says she wanted to let you know how entertaining i was by the garibaldi niece bullbon bit yes as he were musing i was shouting at my ipod battenberg cake royfield battenberg it got me a very funny look from the passerby as i was walking to the studio from the car park i got forward when you then made the mount batten battenberg connection very amusing she says so you have you have uh an agreeer somebody in agreement with your with your pastry bacake bake confectionery based historical links well listen there's more of this stuff right leslie g can i do my own little tweet of the week yes and leslie g i do the thing at royfield it is 271 miles from niece to jaffa no yeah i was like boom you'll be mentioned on the show how clever was that i don't understand why 271 jaffa is in israel it's part of televeve jaffa cakes i know but what's the 271 miles got to do with it from niece in france yes to jaffa niece biscuits jaffa cakes they're biscuits yes but what's the significance of the number 271 she's just saying oh i see sorry it's a way of connecting them oh god lucy sorry sorry i'm not very good at this stuff that way diane moinness yes royfield when we were taught italian unification we called them the biscuit lessons and had scary baldies niece and baubons so this is actually a thing i didn't know this was a thing wow yeah yeah lessons biscuit lessons and then just to end this up mary not contrary who hopefully i'm going to see in a week or two mary not contrary you hopefully i'll see in the next couple weeks in canada land said in canada we have lawrence gordard chocolates commemorating an early canadian history so there's a bit of a thing this is a thing and then i think also american it was mary not contrary he said that there are louis or louisas who's an empress of russia who's also uh been biscuited this is a proper baked good historical thing i think i should start a little side podcast about it yeah be good be tasty anyway next time i see you put on full stone because you keep eating the artifacts that you're talking about absolutely ah now another one of your um your your your your your strange little segues has it has triggered a response from claire who said i listened with interest at the pitch for a service station based drama because years i have had a very similar idea my concept was a drama set at a conference center you still have all the rig it this is sounded like acornantics you still have all the regular characters working the sense to me if it's a conference end day it's just just a shaggin isn't it it is and the surrounding bars and hotels but the visiting characters sometimes stay for a few days you could compare the behavior of different cohorts of professionals so it was one week packaging sales and next or whatever that's like gay grey balls isn't it plus a chance for a cameo from whichever stand-up comic is booked for the ceremony or after dinner speech royal field if this ever makes it to production we can split the royalties love done to done by the way just making it a part of my weekly routine thank you very much claire well it'd be steven fry once a month wouldn't it because he always does those things and he's brilliant he's so expensive very true but um we tried the neurosurgeons to be able to afford him that's true an agency that we i worked for tried to book oh what's he called john snow for an hour and a half at lunchtime and he was 12 grand john snow channel for john snow yep you're joking me 12 grand is he even around her funny no this was to compare something just to come on and just give it gravitas and yeah yeah good heavens i mean steven fries like sort of 40k but a lot of the time these people that their agents just tell you a ridiculously high figure just to see what's the what's the cut of your jib because they actually you know they get loads of it kind of inquiries and they say you know we're just going to treble this you know and just see what you say and if you go well that's just too much but i've got you know three grand you know we'll actually let let's go to pound 97 and a pack they say okey-dokey you're on but hey collodia winkleman came to her knotting hill awards she came for free she wouldn't come now though now she knows you're doing strictly doing such a damn good job on it yes but back in 2001 he'd get her for free what who else did we have oh right and that aldo zilly because he used to live just around the corner oh right um we had other people's or but can't remember their names it was good where were you why did you come when what were you doing in 2001 oh good lord of no idea oh i was the face of british inventions what oh yes what i've never i've never done c5 that's a british invention no i well i can't believe i'm talking about this computer i joined a company cool i know i'm not going to say what they were called i joined a very very small company that specialized in publicizing um british inventions and because it was unusual to have a young woman um talking about this sort of stuff i kept being asked to do different pr things so i went on um i went on woman's hour twice talking about it and i went on sky one two three and bbc breakfast news and talking about women and inventions and how you marketed and how you patented an invention and um i bet lots of absolute loons i bet a man who had invented a new way of running that's a british invention is it yep i bet a man who um wanted to patent um bullets that didn't uh actually do any damage they just immobilized you they didn't kill you uh for use as as armaments and he he couldn't he was very very emotionally couldn't understand why the ministry defense wasn't interested and i kind of a taser yeah this was a long time ago and um i uh went around with Trevor Bayless and all that lot in the wind up radio man and victor kiam who liked it so much he bought the company he used it we went around the i had to show him around the inventions fair and he kept introducing me to everybody as the next mrs kiam and he was about 70 then and he died shortly after i oh my god i could have been onto a winner there well i'm just saying jiz will uh just to bring this uh segue to um a relevant kind of end um yes yes right so neither is a floundering uh women in tech british women in tech aid a lovelace yep uh it's her 200th birthday last week yeah here is a woman you know did you know about headie lemar as well not headie lemar was it headie lemar isn't she an actress yeah but she invented it maybe i'm gonna go have to google it because i can't remember properly uh she invented code writing code yeah that wasn't headie lemar no it wasn't who was it who was it no i had a lovelace no headie lemar she listen listen listen listen no code i've that wrong i've got it wrong blah blah blah blah blah blah hollywood actress inventor sorry i'm completely lying she she created a traffic stoplight uh a carbonated drink and radio controlled um jamming how to jam radio controlled torpedoes and she was one of the people that designed the basics behind gps bluetooth wireless and cell phones and Wi-Fi goodness yep wowzer yes yes yes so there we are don't say i am not capable of doing a strange little eccentric segue of my of my own well done and whilst i sit down and fully uh comprehend uh the wonderful thing that women have contributed not only to the world like giving birth to it all but also to the world of science we'll have a break did that make sense yes oh passion it's the story of a cultural superpower that danced and sprinted its way to success it brought the world reggae compound rastas hip hop bob molly much more its story is told to you in full color for your podcasting years it's the story of how jamica conquered the world search for it on iTunes how jamica conquered the world it's probably the best least known podcast and podcast um search for it today 1914 june serrievo the heir to the throne of austria hungry archduke france fernanand assassinated killed by a syrbeian nationalist about six weeks later world war breaks out germany austria hungry russia frand everyone is drawn into it starting in august and then will america be drawn in ten american presence is a podcast focused on delving deeper into the lives of some of the presidents who became the most influential in united states history for better or for worse each episode provides a rich background of the man in america at the time and how the mixture of both affected each president's decisions and legacy hello just a quickie serasmith cloths are really useful if you soak them in gin they make a marvelous molotov cocktail if you ever get the desire to burn down a yurt serasmith for the posher washer fancy getting your mouth around something warm something comforting you can really get a firm gripon why not buy a dumb d dumb mug from the shop at dumb d dumb dot com those damn lovely good day everyone millie bell here we had a really good week and once again on our facebook page and i will start with our facebook page i was a little bit controversial i felt because i know how we all feel about rob but i did think it was wrong of hallen to be discussing godparent choices without having to talk to rob first bearing in mind the fact that she is very careful about what she says and how she does things with him i just thought that was very odd and i said regardless of rob's controlling behavior on this occasion he was right although i did put the disclaimer that he was not right that adam and eana inappropriate choices as godparents a glint full of love agreed with me and said yes godparents would normally be a joint decision but the whole episode was so weird bursar and robs interactions were very strange emma dancing with ed that by the time it got to that point if hallen had suggested nidle pargeter as a good parent i wouldn't have been surprised allison stainer said hallen needs to dump rob as soon as possible he is evil brilliant storyline makes me want to punch him every time claire buddall said he's using it as an excuse to belittle her though in any decent relationship this could be discussed as equals and with a spurn 35 said first robs objections to adam at knee and is despicable it is that they are gay and have an immoral lifestyle not that adam cheated on em rob clearly has been revealed to be deeply homophobic not that there was really any doubt as was misogynistic and yes it was wrong of hallen uh lis villa lobos says i agree but imagine how you'd feel if i made decisions behind your back was truly grating i was too forgotten that i said later on in the week do you believe in the ambridge fairy peter mabot said more like the ambridge goblin Ruth blatantly ignoring her family david has lost his testicles and em and eon heading for a menage a trio disaster with charlie hallen not getting christmas presence because rob thinks excitement will exhaust her various other characters slipping into an alternate dimension never to be seen again and the grandies bless them a flickering flight and cheer as they enjoy a wholesome family christmas back at grange farm until joe keel's over there was a lot of speculation on all of the facebook sites about the possibility that joe might die which may be very sad because i haven't considered that jita becroft said which fairy the ambridge job fairy the ambridge money fairy the ambridge oxford offer fairy the ambridge fairy whose sprinkles her glittery fairy dust over people who've been in awkward shaggy's in the past and glint full of love said well the fairy has delivered but i wonder if like the fairies in jonathan strange and mr. knoll our price is now required for their bounty i wouldn't put odds on joe seeing out best of ceasie oh please don't say that i love joe around the traps canelia way now on archer's appreciation says do we really believe roof of the bought an open ticket didn't she go out with some group they would all of book the same outward and return flights surely it's just too ridiculous i'm just going to diverge a little bit here i have to admit i really do appreciate root because she's done a lot of things at the same time as me and i also don't speak to my current partner about the archer's at all because he doesn't listen to it but i would i had to talk to someone about this i just felt the whole of that story was unbelievable i have kids the same age um i've had a a parent die i have felt like crap and you you just don't be i know we don't all behave differently but you don't leave your family you just you can't just leave kids it doesn't work like that so i thought that was very odd especially she's been so sensible in the past jearard carol on archer's appreciation said i think charlie was rather brave and it was quite touching and i agree with you jearard elaborate collaging upstairs at the ball said am i the only person who doesn't get this trend of retro upcycling i like my cuts and forces to be perfectly matched not chipped and squeaky clean and nori and green echo in upstairs at the ball said i worked in the hotel and catering industry for a number of years and forgive me for being picky i have never heard of proprietor or managers going on hold over two months and then just casually taking on another six months while they are away hello thank you millie awesome work from down under millie lives in melbourne doesn't she yes well he is is another little tiny segue i am doing a podcast for the new statesman whoo and the first episode is about it's basically the the podcast is called city metric and it's about cities and the first episode is about civic rivalries and we're going to do melbourne and cindy yes and the fact that they could you know they couldn't decide where the capital is going to be so that to uh create camber so there's my little millie link but anyway loose yep let's have some tweets of the last seven days thank you very much please linda grout what do we want rob out when do we want

exciting section of the whole show was reading that iTunes reviews yes before we had the shop which replaced it in excitingnessment yeah well suffice to say not mentioning every episode that you can actually write us a review on iTunes has meant that the amount of reviews we got on iTunes well it has a quite stock but it's slowed massively right so i'm not going to bring it back in its full

cool all right smashing all right he's going has landed hey talking about he goes landed now bear in your mind like most eight-year-old boys i wanted to be an astronaut when i was eight and in my second room here um i've got a big picture of you're a gagarin a mercury rocket and then um it's really lovely detailed picture of the moon right so i like aeronautical astronomical stuff and rockets and all that kind of malarkey my god i didn't realize it's reading this article yesterday forget but forget where it was but the height of the american space program so like 1965 so before they actually went to the moon but they were planning it 15% of the federal budget of the united states was given to nasa 15 no one five of the whole budget jesus indeed or is it even 25 let me just check it was something like i had you just like what um the amount of money and it was you know this thing to beat the russians yeah yeah it's either 50 i've got yet i've got a sneaky feeling it's even 25 because it's such a figure if you so outrageous it's just like you had to read it and then read it again and say that's obviously a misprint and yeah just the amount of money they gave to nasa so and then by the time they then got to the moon you know wise heads were saying you know we're just spending too much money on this and then and everything just kind of got curtailed but in the middle of the 60s when uh what's in los angeles is burning down and you've got you know civil rights marches you know people live in magic poverty yeah you know literally a quarter of the federal budget was being spent uh grandstanding against the russians hi this is christopher kimbal from milk street radio i often shop at whole foods markets since they sell the kind of food i like organic vegetables a
