Another one of those things which makes you realise the SW’s ARE actually taking the p!$$ these days. They must know full well that they’ve left him in developmental limbo but still they come with his infantile behaviour and voice

Like applying whips and scorpions to the little ‘actor’? Worth a try and might be fun for its own sake.

They claimed that that is what they have.
It has to be a relative of TBTB, since it appears they are not going down the ‘retarded little sod route’ after all, and therefore can’t be wanting him to sound like the world’s oldest toddler.

They have said more than once that Henry is played by a child actor of the same age as Henry.
I despair of said poor actor, mind.
