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.
