What's going on with the afternoon play on R4 today?

[doodleboo]

Why does the Owen character have such a weird voice? what have i missed? It frightens me!

It's an adaptation of the Owen Meany (SP?) by John Irving and the central character just has a really weird voice! It's been running all week so you're coming in at the end which might be adding to your confusion! ;)

....listening to the afternoon play?

You are brave.

..they are usually rubbish, aren't they?

Here at Goth towers, the fading notes of the Archers theme tune are always followed by the 'click' of the wireless being turned off.....

It's an adaptation of this book. I agree the voice is weird - so is the whole thing IMO!!

afternoon play is when I go on the R4 website and listen again to anything vaguely interesting!

I don't listen as such, it's just there in the background. The scary voice has been weirding me out all week! I looked up the actor in my confusion - apparently he also voiced Dobby the house elf so that may explain things ...

My dad would dearly love an Archers switch - click at 2pm!
