The other day I put on one of the later episodes of the second season of Andor as background sound while I cleaned the kitchen. I had seen it a couple of times already so my eyes didn’t need to be glued to the screen. I just wanted some noise to keep me company. After a few minutes an unexpected voice jumped out at me – wait, could it really be them?
I abandoned the mess in the kitchen and watched again. Having seen the face I was 95 per cent sure it was who I thought it was, but the image was so different I had to check the cast list to be sure. And it was them! To think I’d watched the episode twice already but had not recognised someone I’ve seen and heard almost every week for the last year maybe. I think it was because I was just swept up in the story and the hugely different image led me not to realise who it was.
I don’t want to give it away, but if you’re a fan of British comedy, why not play this game: Put on episode 11 of Andor’s second season, close your eyes and listen to the first five minutes. Did a voice jump out at you?
Yes? No? Maybe? Find out the owner of the mystery voice!
