Is Freddie hoping to enter a "Funny Voice" competition?

I think so.

And does he know ANYTHING about cricket?😀

He has always had a squeaky voice - I often think it is a female character speaking.

Probably more than the obnoxious Lily!

🤣 NotS

You are quite right NotS. Lily gets more and more obnoxious and when their plan comes out the fallout will be a) boring b) far flung.

Cricket and motor bikes. 😩

It’s sooo boring at the moment.

Freddie and Lily 🫣 I agree - they are so annoying and act like caricatures of posh people. Freddie sounds like a 12 year old girl and Lily is getting more annoying by the second. Hopefully the storylines will pick up soon.

Lily has always been annoying- not just the script but she has a horrible voice too, unfortunately.

Why do you people listen if the characters annoy you so much?
I have listened since the first recording on and off. As in real life, some you like, some you don’t. Normally one just avoids the unliked folk. So do the same. Characters come and go, you probably will not have to avoid the Archers for long, story lines run their course!

So how do you know if the irritating ones will be on for 1 or 2 mins or the whole 15?

I'd rather just complain grin - maybe you find that irritating though?

So have many of us and that’s why we’re irritated by juvenile storylines.
