Join us this week as Keri and Matthew celebrate the return of the prodigal plumber, discuss lying when thick and ponder what multiple scenes involving Kirsty and Denise could have done to our inner eardrums.
- Dhal P for Perjure : Uncle Clive spices things up.
- Lying Thickos : The rule is simple. If you're thick. Don't lie. You'll end up looking like a right banana.

Happy Bethday!!!
Episode 78
samedi 1 octobre 2022 • Duration 48:56
This week Keri, Peter and Matthew popped into the salon for a quick cut and gossip about Jeff Wayne's War of The Worlds, Mississippi Burning, Joe Pasquale's pillow talk, unsolicited dick pics and the dodgy meat market.
Actually, on reflection, those last two sound the same.
Once under the dryer we remembered we're here to discuss The Archers.
So we did. In no particular order:
• It's my party and I'll vom if I want to: Ben confuses birthdays and baby reveals.
• Dire diary: Jolene gets Clarrie-fication on Komrade Kenton's Arkwright Hall pass.
• Alan smashes Peggy's window shopping.
• Leonard Llewellyn-Bowen has a sketchy past.
• Beth gets the snip. Next up: Ben.
• St Vincent of Casey plans a Paraparaumu pilgrimage.
• George gobbles up 10% of the Turkey takings but will it be Eddie getting stuffed?

Chelsea Shagger
Episode 77
samedi 24 septembre 2022 • Duration 46:55
• Keri Ferry sounds much better then Shula Ferry. Now, off you pop to Sunderland.
• Desperately disinteresting Dan: Back in yer horsebox mate.
• Shula quiz. Question one: 'Why is Shula?'
• Maiming ceremony disappoints. We may have possibly misheard the event description.
• Ben/Her: Most people's second guess takes the mummy of all phonecalls.
• Plus Keri and Matthew's *Columbo moment at the end.
*Apologies to The Peter Fickling/Falk estates for the comparison.

We're/Weir in Blake's Heaven
Episode 76
samedi 17 septembre 2022 • Duration 42:37
This week, a returning Keri makes Peter and Matthew empty their respective attics.
Strap in for a couple of rants, mostly Archers related.
Behind the skirting board they found:
- Dire House more like: Could an affair make Justin and Lilian interesting again?
- We love having Chelsea back but who TAF is the Dad?
- Dear diary: David reminds Kenton of his teenage Adkins diet.
- Eggboy Josh flies the nest.
- Russellmania : A nation mourns as The King exits stage left.

Jim soft plays with our heart.
Episode 75
samedi 10 septembre 2022 • Duration 42:36
Without Keri's Jim-like presence Peter and Matthew run riot in the grubby ball pit that was this week's The Archers.
Topics covered include: Shaking Stevens (kind of), 70s lifts without doors, Graham Potter, Always Sunny, German Taxis, Fishponds and we reveal the identity of Treeboy.
Somewhere in between we covered:
• If there's a Russell in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now. He's just hiding from a crazy, pitchfork-wielding lynch mob.
• We'd like to renew our Jim membership.
• Dragons Den: 'It's a no from me'. Oliver refuses to invest in a tw4t's banger.
• Lily makes an exhibition of herself.

Chelsea Bun, anyone?
Episode 74
samedi 3 septembre 2022 • Duration 46:06
This week Peter and Matthew buried the podcast in a field, went for a few free pints then dug it up again.
There's talk of 80s Majorcan holidays, Bigtrak ownership, The Sisters of Mercy, Comrade Curtis Stigers and vampire classic The Hunger.
Somewhere in between we covered:
• Russ, Josh, Freddie or George : Was it interfamilial guinea pig lust or ravey baby gravy?
• Shula takes a longer farewell tour than that blonde twat.
• Justin sexy time: Ambridge's sex god knows Ruairi's game and yes, there's a jingle.
• David has never bought a pint.
• Tracy trades Chickenshit for Bullshit.

Not all heroes smoke vapes
Episode 72
samedi 20 août 2022 • Duration 35:36
Hey everyone,
In our latest episode while Peter was away, Keri and Matthew took turns dunking each other in the paddling pool of insanity that was this week's The Archers.
In between all of that we agreed to disagree on Hot Chip, asked 'have you ever spoken to a rock star and didn't know it?' and we touched on unfortunately shaped ceramics.
First in at the deep end are:
- Mick Shagger: Do we trust this deeply unfunny man with our pride and Joy?
- Stella Maris: Well, this particular Stella. not so much...
- YOU'RE FIRED!!! Actually no, you're not. Tracy's into the next round of 'The Prentice'.
- Vaping Bad, Breaking Brad, we're all gagged out on this one. bit like naughty George.
- Justin and Lynda find common ground: Their awfulness.
