	Peter Brough
		Brough and Archie worked for years on the radio, with an average audience of 15 million listeners.
		Brough tried to translate his show to the new medium by disguising his lack of skill by having a technician work the puppet and using camera techniques to disguise the facts that his lips moved.
		In 1961, Brough retired and, for some Freudian reason, left the Archie Andrews doll, in a railway carriage.

	Peter Brough - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Peter Brough (February 26, 1916 - June 3, 1999) was an English radio ventriloquist who became a well-known name to audiences in the 1950s.
		Born in Shepherd's Bush, London, Peter began his radio career in 1944 in ventriloquism (audiences didn't mind the fact that you couldn't see him) but he debuted Archie, a mischievous child who domineered his mentor in 1950.
		Two years later, Peter was on ITV in Educating Archie, utilising the same team as before, although Marty Feldman took some of the writing credit as well.

		Peter Brough, who has died aged 83, became nationally famous for proving that a ventriloquist could be highly successful on radio - the one medium in which a ventriloquist's skill would seem to be totally unsuitable.
		By contrast Brough himself was smooth and dapper, unremarkable except for the fact that his two upper front teeth were half filed away to help him throw his voice.
		Brough, who appeared in his first public concert at the age of ten, was born in Shepherd's Bush, London, the son and grandson of men who had combined ventriloquism with business.

		In the 1950s, an Australian singer who used to appear on stage with her vent-husband Herbert Dexter found that he was taking his dummy-insults and dummy-assaults too far both on stage and off, and sued him for divorce, reputedly citing the 'miserable dummy' as co-respondent.
		It is not surprising that Peter Brough once indulged in a bit of sober philosophising about his compulsion to 'create other voices.
		Brough's partnership with Archie Andrews was an act of sincere flattery to the American entertainer Ed Bergen, who had been doing disputations with dummies in US nightclubs since 1936.

	Educating Archie
		It just seemed very much against the odds that an act which depended to such a degree upon the audience watching a dummy's lips move when a ventriloquist's did not, should succeed on radio.
		Peter Brough had made guest appearances on shows such as Navy Mixture in the later stages of the War with some success, but it was not until 1950 that he was given his own radio show called Educating Archie.
		Peter Madden, Hattie Jacques and Robert Moreton, the first of Archie's tutors, stand at one microphone, with Peter Brough, and the dummy, Archie, at the other.

		Brough and Andrews were a comedy team with a difference, a difference they shared with their American radio counterparts Edger Bergen and Charlie McCarthy.
		Along with Brough and his wooden star the series featured the ever present Irene Handl and the soon to be legendary Dick Emery.
		Educating Archie's television success was short lived though, not because of viewer apathy but because of a bizarre and tragic twist of fate when Brough's father passed away and Peter decided to leave show business to take over the family textile business.

		A BBC radio comedy programme from 1950 was called Educating Archie and featured the ventriloquist Peter Brough and his dummy Archie Andrews.
		(Unkind people said that, as a ventriloquist, Peter Brough’s ideal medium was radio—when he appeared on TV people could see his lips move.
		His American counterpart Edgar Bergen had similar problems and he, too, was most successful on radio.) Though the show, even viewed in rose-tinted retrospect, was fairly dreadful, it was also extremely popular, in part because its producer was a genius at spotting up-and-coming new talent.

	The Avengers Forever: Ray Barrett (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		At the end of that season (its second), Neil Hallett's co-star, an equally obscure, apparently American actor called Michael Quinn, was killed off; when it returned, now titled G.S.5 (ATV, 1964), it had Clemens as script editor, and Barrett and Austin, as different characters, added to the regular cast.
		Dave Rogers describes Barrett's role of Peter Clarke as "a soft-spoken agent who abhorred violence (until aroused) and preferred to get his quarry through slow, methodical investigation"; but a sign of how much it's remembered now is that, in his own autobiography, Barrett doesn't mention it once.
		To be honest, by today's standards, the episodes themselves hardly maintain the same pace; nonetheless, it certainly had a loyal Monday night audience, moving into colour from its 1970 run onwards, and in what was rare for a videotaped drama of the time, travelling to other countries for location filming.
