Ursula didn't sound particularly nice that time she came round unannounced. Also, did we ever find out what happened when Rob's parents failed to turn up for dinner at Pat and Tony's before H&R got married? Did they blow them out or was Rob lying about that as well?

I don't think knob ever invited them did he? Possibly because his mum has got his measure and takes the poss out of him. He's not got a sense of humour has he?
Even the foal thinks he's evil. If Henwee weren't so loathsome, I'd worry about him.
My theory is that he will steal his spawn from Helen once she's breastfed him. He'll do it by making her choose between Henry's safety and the devil spawn

Pretty sure he didn't actually invite them. But why not?
Ooh, and just listening now: Ursula prob has Rob's measure.

Strange. She was frosty and possessive last time. But there is the hint that her husband is a bit controlling.
And is there yet another new Tom? I can't keep track of all these actors.

Ahhh yes maybe like Helen she's distant in the presence of hubby but open when not.
Jonny sounds like someone new talking about new actors. I thought they'd switched him out too.

That's what Knob wants
He just doesn't have the voice of a school-aged child. Still, they've probably recorded him saying 'awight' in 2014 and are paying him 25p per use.
Yes, it's very confusing. Probably just another bit of character sacrificed in the altar of Plot Driven Narrative.
Also, I think they've snuck in a new Wayne - he sounds about 20 years younger than the other one.

Henwee's voice sounds like a adult mimicking a child..Funny how little things just pish one off when listened to constantly. For me it's Geordie Ruth saying Prudhoe...over & over again. It's as if " they" think that we divv'nt kna' how to pronounce Prudhoe on Tyne...pet.That's what Knob wants

Ursula is Rob The Knobs Achilles - Heel.

so hang on, did Rob (sorry The Knob) ask his mum to look after Helen? and has he completely misjudged the situation? i.e. he thought Ursula would help with his web of control when actually she's doing mad stuff like suggesting Kirsty comes over for a catch up?!

No, there is something fishier going on because when Kirsty phoned up Ursula knew she was a friend of Helen's. She could only have known that if Rob had fully briefed her! Odd huh ..so hang on, did Rob (sorry The Knob) ask his mum to look after Helen? and has he completely misjudged the situation? i.e. he thought Ursula would help with his web of control when actually she's doing mad stuff like suggesting Kirsty comes over for a catch up?!

When the world came apart, where were you?
At the start of last night's episode I literally had no idea who Johnny was talking to. Why on earth do they keep picking actors with such nondescript voices?

Mostly bewildered
Henry must be the only vocal child in the world who only speaks when he is spoken to. He is eerily silent most of the time, so that you don't know he is there (funny, that) and then there is a little pause, as they find the right tape to inject the one word whinge that he is scheduled to say.
It is pitiable.

But at least his voice is recognisable, unlike many of the other males.
Why do you listen to the Archers? You don't seem to like any of the characters

lmaoWhy do you listen to the Archers? You don't seem to like any of the characters
Which Archers characters do any of us like? The posh ones do tragedy, the yokels do comedy. Occasionally there's some cross-genre stuff like Joe Grundy possibly having to go into a hostel. It is pitiful.
I admit that my favourite characters are some of the least believable: Lilian and whossername who does the pantos. And a soft spot for the Thought-for-the-day Yorkshire vicar with his unbelievable Hindu wife.
