DTD - 97 Yokel Bear takes control - download this version

Sitting in for Roifield this week is Yokel Bear who hails from a modest Thames Valley town that shall not be named; Jasper Fforde has magnificently recorded the environs and those curious to know more should look online. Another majestic performance from a new presenter. And Lucy seems to welcome changed company in Derek's back bedroom.This was recorded before the thrilling developments on Friday when Rob taught Henry about obedience and so, in line with my usual summary approach, that storyline will not be mentioned again too much. However, Yokel Bear has listened to proceedings this week and is not perhaps quite as upset because the Paul Trueman fundraising mentioned last week (nearly £60k) has brought good out of fictional evil, so redressing the mental harm to listeners.It did not take long before our hosts strayed from The Archers. Yokel Bear had geese or ducks on the railway line and then stayed in a haunted hotel in Taunton, although he did not hear the late piper. Meanwhile Roifield interrupted with an update on a late Witherspoon call plus editing the script on line during the recording. Yokel and Lucy then decided to go up the Wookey Hole together. And Yokel Bear was a kilt wearing bridesmaid at a wedding.Pancake Day was a high point for the week - but Kate's moving house and Lilian giving in far too easily were also covered. Keri Davis was responsible for the week and he has admitted that he likes writing for Rob - but he also hits the right notes with many other characters although the crossover between a mobile eggery and a shepherd's hut has left many confused. In particular poor Bert seems overworked for a man of his age.And finally we are closing on 1000 likes on Facebook - it would be nice to do that before the 100th recording.KosmoOn this week’s episode we have calls from Dusty Substances who got everything she wanted,Pam Cruickshank who has a culinary plot predictionMichelle Laferte who thinks we may end up with a Farebrethren at BrookersKosmo who says he got it wrongMrs Bentos who thinks Henry’s been gagged Witherspoon who called in lateand Goddess Deeva who wants a word with the women of Ambridge Hosted on Acast.
