Now you probably didn't have Crippled Monkey down as being a fan of the long-running Radio 4 soap The Archers - but that's where you'd be wrong. The new edition of The Archers Ambridge Voice, the quarterly magazine published by Archers Addicts official fan club, features new cast member Ed Browning, who plays Bruno Foster. (If you're not an Archers listener, then you may have seen him playing the part of Curtis in the past three series of Channel 4's Teachers.) Turns out that Ed has cystic fibrosis, and that in joining the cast he's become the second disabled actor down Ambridge way - joining Ryan Kelly. Ryan is blind, but the character he plays, Jazzer, is sighted. Confused? Are you still with me here? Hello? Hello ...?

Don't miss the next episode of Ouch Goes Ambridge, coming to a weblog near you soon.
