It's great fun, with 16 digital samples from cartoons and a little speaker to make the sounds go! You may have noticed that it's a green, lifeless object that comes to life when you push its buttons. Yes, it's a very long winded tribute to the late, great Keith Harris who has died following cancer treatment. :( With his signature puppet, Orville, and aimed squarely at the family market you'll either think he's awesome, profoundly irritating or maybe just a bit naff. What a lot of people missed was that he had great comic timing and was a bloody good ventriloquist which is a hell of a lot harder than it looks. Dave crossed the country to see him in panto not that long ago, and it's testament to his popularity that he stopped performing because his health was decaying, not his audiences. We'll raise a glass tonight. :) This is the speaker grille element of a sound machine that Laura got me at Christmas.
