You can't see his lips move!

The death on Saturday of Max Bygraves brought to mind what must be one of the most bizarre entertainment programmes ever produced.  He initially made his name (as did many other well known comedians) on a radio programme called "Educating Archie" - Archie being Archie Andrews, a ventriloquist's dummy worked by Peter Brough.  The act had been playing the music halls for some years, but a ventriloquist act on radio??  It was enormously successful, so obviously people didn't see the absurdity.  RIP Max.
