We live in hope that the Gleeson twins will be heard in The Archers one day (A month in Ambridge, 5 April). I recall that Merrily Harpur’s excellent comic strip in The Listener in the 1980s, Jean-Paul of Grey Gables: Unheard of Ambridge, had to be renamed when the Grey Gables chef found his voice and became a speaking character on the programme.
