Subject: Keith Harris, entertainer and ventriloquist, dies aged 67
Written By: Philip Eno on 04/29/15 at 4:16 am
Entertainer Keith Harris, best known for his ventriloquist performances with puppet Orville, has died, aged 67.
His agent Robert C Kelly said on Twitter: "Sad to announce death from cancer of my client, dear friend and great talent, Keith Harris."
The Keith Harris Show, featuring Orville, ran on Saturday evenings on BBC One between 1982 and 1990.
Harris also had a top 10 hit with Orville's Song, popularly known as I Wish I Could Fly, in 1982.
Orville - an innocent green duck in an oversized nappy - was Harris's most famous creation.
Orville was relentlessly taunted by Harris's other character, Cuddles the monkey, whose catchphrase was "I hate that duck".
