Summary

Lucy has reached the point where she has disassociated herself from the entire Rob and Helen storyline. It has been dragged out for far too long in atrocious detail and consequently like the flood has completely unbalanced the entire docudrama and the remaining village inhabitants are not getting a fair share of the microphones. As a result the Fairbrethern end up being treated like Pinky and Perky (or Sesame Street) thinly drawn characters compared with the Dostoevsky-like excellence contained in the abuse story.And Lucy is equally upset at the poor treatment handed out to Joe - the real world does not work like that. Historically stories would usually be well researched and managed by the team via the editor - but currently there are so many loose ends a lot does not make sense. This theme recurred in a number of calls.Jim discovered that the flood assessments for Route B used the wrong hydraulic model in the light of the flood and therefore the assessment needed to be done again correctly. A generic model was used rather than one specific to the locale.Roifield complained about not getting a word in edgeways as Lucy sailed through the calls but our hosts were able to confirm that the Archers Archivist has been pensioned off - hence underlying continuity being a complete mess. A BBC money saving exercise no doubt.Somehow biscuits then took over the programme and Roifield shoe-horned a Battenburg cake into the process.And the Tweet of the Week was an advert for a new husband after he broke a DumTeeDumm mug - and have you bought yours for Christmas yet?Time to catch my Etihad taxi.KosmoOn this week’s episode we have calls from:Robin Winning who says Route B is poisonousEverazephyr who’s found the moral messageJacqueline Bertho who thinks Helen might start fighting backYokelbear who’s sulkingVicky Cole who is heartbrokenWitherspoon who’s turned into Eliza DolittleMichele laferte who wants to know why rob is getting everything he wants and Kosmo who’s flooded India.
