Sad news, Keith Harris (the man behind Orville the duck) has bought it.

I think he had a stupid monkey puppet as well, but Orville was easily the best.

 

I mind them being on kids tv when I was a kid. There was a game for contestants "Orvilles sitting ducks" and when played a theme song ran in the background, going "sitting, sitting, sitting ducks, sitting, sitting, sitting ducks".

 

In my head I would substitute "shitting" for "sitting" and thought that was the height of comedy. Still do.

 

RIP Keith. I wonder what will become of Orville?

RIP Keith Harris... even as a kid I realised you were as talentles cunt, and a blind man could see your lips move at a hundred paces... but you tried your best to entertain us even though by the 1980s we had Atari and Colecovision, and ventriliquism was a good hundred years out of date. "Far's yer fuckin' stick and hoop, ye cunt!" I would scream with rage whenever he was on Telly. Shambles of a man... looked like a drinker at best and a beast at worst.

 

Will be sorely missed.

Reading aboot the guy today - apparently he was dyslexic. His headmaster used to call him to his office and ask him to read from a book - which he couldn't do - so he got the cane. Did alright for himself in the end though - 4 wives, one of them 19 years old. Apparently women used to go weak at the knees for a bit of Orville...... Might be a lesson there for all any sad cunt who can't get a bird.
