Archie Andrews (puppet)

This article is about the British ventriloquist's puppet. For the U.S. comic book character, see Archie Andrews (comics) Archie Andrews was a ventriloquist's puppet  used by ventriloquist Peter Brough in a radio and television show in the UK in the 1950s and 1960s. In its radio format it was called 'Educating Archie'. The bizarre concept of delivering a ventriloquist act, a visual humour, by radio, an audio medium, never seemed to bother anyone at the time, however. Archie was invariably dressed in a broad-striped blazer, and addressed the ventriloquist as "Brough". The television scripts were written by Marty Feldman and Ronald Chesney.
