*The Archers thread

I know. It makes me think of when they'd use The Archers to broadcast a recipe for cabbage and cardboard pie during rationing: like a public service announcement, without guitars.
Was that when the old gamekeeper Tom Forrest used to have a little chat with us at the start of the omnibus on Sunday mornings? I remember that :oops:
 
Given everybody immediately noticed perhaps the continuity announcer could have mentioned it before the episode.

(I liked the old Tony's voice, it always sounded friendly - a nice man who could somehow exist in the same house as Pat and Hellin without murdering them... The new one doesn't really carry off the same longsuffering effect).

I always though he sounded a bit of an Eeyore, but yes this one doesnt quite sound right. I hate the new (old)Clarrie's voice, v whiny
 
I knew Tony would be different cos I heard the previous actor was retiring... I don't regularly listen to the Archers, it just happens within earshot. Consequently don't know what all this stuff with Helen and Rob is. I do know they make me sick though. Cringeworthy combined with irritating.
 
V confused when I heard Pat Archer talking to what I thought was talking to new cad Rob - but it turned out to be the new Tony. Then everyone else sounded odd. Has there been an attack of the body snatchers in Ambridge?

I keep thinking Helen has been replaced by the Mary in Downton Abbey :D
 
I don't mind if the voices change when they get a new actor so much as if the character changes. I still mourn the old Hayley, who was much more fun than the replacement.

New Hayley is so dull that she isn't even in it any more. The only exciting thing she ever does is criticise Kate but that's it really. Dullsville
 
I predict that Hazel will be a more regular character in the future. Which would be good: we could do with bit of villainy in Ambridge.
