Timothy Watson takes listeners' questions
Hannah Ratcliffe
Assistant Producer, The Archers
What would you ask the actor Timothy Watson? He's lent his voice to one of the most despised characters in the history of The Archers, Rob Titchener.
There's the opportunity to put your question to him on Friday 3 February from 7:15pm. The comedian (and self-confessed Archers fanatic) Angela Barnes is hosting the event which will be streamed via Facebook Live on the Radio 4 Facebook page.
For a long time it was the programme's listeners were the only witnesses to Rob's cruel treatment of Helen. The rest of Ambridge only got up to speed when all was revealed at Helen's trial.
The Archers received the award for Outstanding Contribution to Radio Drama at the Audio Drama Awards for the Helen and Rob storyline.
On the night of the awards, former editor of The Archers, Sean O'Connor said, "The whole story would not have had the far-reaching resonance that it did without the subtle, detailed and compelling performances of Tim Watson as Rob and Louiza Patikas as Helen.
"Over thousands of episodes, moment by chilling moment, they created in their dynamic, destructive partnership the most talked about radio event for years."
