    The British ventriloquist and presenter Keith Harris has died aged 67, after losing his battle with cancer.

    Harris was well-known in Britain for his popular character Orville, a ventriloquist's dummy in the form of a green duck. I'm sure many British members will have grown up watching his show.

    RIP Keith.... and Orville!

    To be fair they did replace the 'Retro's Obituaries' section with Tribute and Honor: Gaming Pioneers.

    I used to love Keith and Orval as a kid. He had that orange monkey too.

    Yep, this is in the wrong section but I'm tired and to tell the truth a bit drunk so retro, you'll have to move this thread yourself :) I'm off to bed.

    Rip Keith...

    Sounds a bit cold given the thread, but I definitely lol'd. In all seriousness, this is saddening news. RIP Keith Harris.
