Default Archie: a national character, BBC radio-related (but mute) oldie

Archie Andrews, the ventriloquist's enigmatic dummy who "appeared"
regularly on BBC radio for ages, drawing mega millions of faithful
listeners over 40 years ago, has gone under the hammer for £34,000.
It was the schoolboy prop for Peter Brough.
The radio show was always recorded in a playhouse or in a studio in front of
an
audience and that programme had many famous actors in its cast.
But who -needed- to parade a dumb dummy for Radio?!
Reverently, we all knew its presence was absolutely crazy.
