Archers Addicts 5 !!!!!

Just a tad, Lazigirl

For all we know Rob Titchener could be Balaclava Man.

That's where he went!

I think Rob has had a bad influence on Tom, from when he persuaded him to disappear to Canada. Was Tom always the greedy emotionally stunted person he sounded tonight? So keen to sue David and Ruth.

What's up with Pip's voice? She sounds like a girl trying to sound like a man.

Weird.

Glad to see the cousins supporting each other but Pip needs reminding that a secret is only a secret when only one person knows.

Am I wrong to be on Miranda's side?

Right, who's going to sign up to the "I want to slap Will Grundy, good and hard" campaign?

Please form an orderly queue........

Double slaps for having a really, really annoying accent are not only allowed, but actively encouraged

Talking of accents, (I've just given Will his slap)I thought we were listening to Harrison talking to Clarrie until Alan's name was mentioned. I really can't tell them apart.

I was trying to decide who it was too, merlot, very similar voices.

Agree with you both there, you would think that the person who seems to be the only policeman who covers every incident in Ambridge (and also seems to be the coordinator for the neighbourhood speedwatch operation in Penny Hasset, if I've got the right village, ) could at least sound different from the Vicar, unless of course...........

BTW, I have upgraded Will to the 3, no let's make that 4 slap category, because I feel he is guilty of:

1) Being sexist re women on the cricket team

2) Trying to play the guilt trip thing on Emma re working evening shifts and the possible effect on George

3) That bloody "aaakkksent"

4) Being a damn miserable, moaning, negative, whinging git.

How his dog puts up with working with him I just don't know. And as for the pheasants, it wouldn't surprise me if they were throwing themselves into the line of fire of the guns in an act of mass suicide.

I am always waiting for names to be mentioned before I know who's talking. Agree Alan + Harrison are the most confusing but some of the younger characters throw me too.

Add Doc Locke to the Alan/Harrison mix as well.

Does anyone else remember when George last spoke? I think it was when he was having poaching lessons from Eddie. It had me wondering how on earth the Grundys were managing to afford the posh private school he obviously attends.

Roooaaarrrrrii, on the other hand, who really does go to a posh private school, can't speak at all.

Will is a well drawn character - they exist. We have seen it with many of the other male characters too so why single out poor Will. If anything some of the other should know better.

I wonder which part of the country do those who think some of the characters 'all sound the same' come from.

do

Eh?

The ones who sound the same don't really seem to have much accent to me.

I am sorry you don't understand Merlot - take the 'do' out as in my post before yours and see if it works for you.

I come from Hampshire. DH comes from Yorkshire.

I don't see what that has to do with not being able to tell Alan from Harrison.

I'm more confused by this bit:
If anything some of the other should know better.

Actually I was brought up in Worcestershire, and can remember a lot of the local old chaps sounding exactly like Bert Fry.

Black Country me!

Harrison, Alan and Doc Locke all sound northern to my Oxfordshire ear. I can't tell their voices apart either.

Some of the other characters Merlot.
