Dum Tee Dum Episode 79 – Jane Perrone

What this episode covers

“Don’t cry for me” said the plants as Jane Perrone the horticultural editor of the Guardian joined our hosts this week; so it is a highly organic and very educational podcast with mentions of the restorative powers of dettol and sugar solutions, mince pies (team Roifield on this one), stollen, urine and compost heaps.Roifield has decking in his back garden whilst Lucy admitted to a very large bush. Jane advises that there may be rats living under the decking so removing it needs the attention of her lurcher. Jane reckons The Archers team generally get gardening matters right; she has been listening for the last 15 years and it is now her little daily treat and then she mentioned many other podcasts.Jane predicts that the Titchenor story will explode at Christmas and she supports the existence of some villainy in the village but she does feel that having a baby is often not well portrayed on the programme. There seems to be some circumstantial evidence that Helen may not actually be pregnant – even though she has done two tests. The doctor did not do a test.There is a groundswell growing for Rex, although less so for Toby, but it does seem they may be around for the long term and the cooperation between the Grundy boys was noted. Everyone was hugely pleased to hear Jazzer back, especially in his double act with Jim. Lucy highlighted Joe’s comments on Rob’s faux behaviour as a member of the landed gentry as she and Joe are as one in their recognition of class differences.Millie Belle had a full update of online activities with a lot of positive comments about developments including Jim and Jazzer whilst Yorkshire Tea was discussed at length. Millie herself gets deliveries of tea direct from Sri Lanka – another place that I have enjoyed visiting.The writing desk turned up again in the Tweet of the Week.Bridgend is in Shropshire says Lucy (more often found in mid-Glamorgan) whilst Blairgowrie is in Scotland to give a “B” place, north of the Border.KosmoOn this week’s episode we have calls from:Paul Roome who’s got his calendar outWitherspoon who gets Jazzer in the psychiatrist’s chairGoddess Deeva who has a wish for Helenand Yokelbear who’s worried about the unbridled hand of capitalism.E-mailTwitterThe post Dum Tee Dum Episode 79 – Jane Perrone appeared first on DumTeeDum.
