Things got a little mischievous on Sunday afternoon at the famous 102.8 Chorley FM as children's entertainment legend Keith Harris joined Scotty on his weekly Sunday Lunch slot.

Keith Harris, now aged 60, famous for his ventriloquist act involving Orville the Duck, and Cuddles the Monkey met excited listeners and fans outside the studio of Chorley's community radio station before joining the Sunday Lunch team for a hilariously funny hour long interview.

During the interview, in which both Orville and Cuddles took over the airways, Keith Harris spoke about his life long career in entertainment, his current and future plans including his recent appearance with Orville in the latest Post Office television advert as well as his plans to release a Christmas single.

Speaking of the visit, Chorley FM's Allan Scott, better known as Scotty, said: "It was great for Keith to join us for the interview.

"His generous nature became obvious as Keith spent time speaking to and getting involved with fans outside the station before joining us in the Studio.

"Keith really took time to answer questions, sign autographs and have his picture taken with Orville.

"Keith and Orville are becoming very popular again having made numerous television appearances - including his win of the TV reality series The Farm.

"We were lucky he agreed to come and spend an afternoon with us and we are truly grateful to him for his time.

"We had a ball in the studio with them, and I'm sure our listeners would have enjoyed the mayhem!"
