Why can't they find a decent actor to play Ben?

The latest one is even worse than Joshua Pascoe and Charlie Jones put together.
I just hope he improves, because Ben is an important character.

I have to disagree with you op, you've clearly forgotten how bad Charlie Jones was.

I see they have quietly dropped Ben wearing a hearing aid.

Both Charlie Jones and Joshua Pascoe wore one when they played Ben

It's typically always a bit stiff acting when new actors are introduced, which is probably down to nerves and having to deal with and figure out how a production of that size works - few episodes/weeks in it'll probably be better.

Yes. you should as it was a bloody good episode (although I get the feeling you won't like it, given how often you tell us you no longer like/watch EE ) and the new Ben is actually pretty decent.

I thought he was ok. Nothing amazing but not poor either. For his first episode, he did well.

I just hope we don't end up with another David Witts, who I found good on his first episode and then contiunued to get go down in my estimation.

I was checking and there seems to be an extra plastic bit on his left ear

I can't remember the last time I said I don't watch EE or that I didn't like it but it's not exactly on every thread or even recently.

That's how it starts! You'll be stalking him wearing just a raincoat soon!

He hasn't stood out as particularly bad to me so far. I thought Peter seemed very wooden though when he was talking to his "uncle".

He wasnt wooden, he didnt want to be there. Ben caused his dad's mental breakdown.
