[@andrewmorrell4402]

You are so right regarding the hierarchy of needs. Six years ago I had a quadruple heart bypass, up to that point I accumulated so much stuff that I thought was important. The reality is that all you need are the basics in life, shelter, food, health etc.. Many people spend their lives struggling to buy the latest phone, the best car, bigger house etc… and the reality is that it will not bring you happiness. Also the stress you put yourself under trying to pay for all this just isn’t worth it. Some of the happiest people I’ve ever met have very little. There are no pockets in shrouds, as they say. Thanks again Alan for another entertaining gem. 😊👍🏻

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Hello Andrew, I'm pleased that you are obviously feeling better after having to go through that, but it's definitely true. There's nothing wrong with money and possessions but not the expense of your life and giving you stress and taking your time is hitting the balance is it not. I think you're right. People jump on their hamster wheel too much and get too little in return when you watch these documentaries of people living in remote jungles because they have relationships they feel happy they not dragged away by society. If I was a multi-millionaire, I certainly wouldn't buy lots of property and objects that need looking after you're right, relationships, friendships and basic needs are all we really need. Thank you for your excellent comment. Always great to see you. Alan

[@timsgtms1222]

Lovely man very missed with orvil sweet rest my friend you will never be forgotten ❤❤❤❤❤

[@bennymerenti6850]

I saw Keith & Orville in panto at Plymouth. They were superb. Will always remember them both with much love. And guess what? That night…..Orville flew. The audience were moved to tears. It was SO sweet. That’s how invested Keith had us. Keith you were a genius & a fabulous talent. Thank you to Alan for this lovely film. We all love ❤️ you too my friend.

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Hello Benny what a fantastic little story. I presume they must have either wire and to see the bird flying would have been but I had to laugh when the audience started crying it was such a good ventriloquist that used out to believe which is great or a lovely memory. I much love to you. I thank you very much 💗

Hello all way from Scotland , we used to watch Keith Harris and orville , so sad that cancer took away this lovely man and orville his sidekick ,I go down to Blackpool every Easter , so I was down with my family who I take every year in April and September, so I was down in April when Keith Harris passed away god bless you for all the years you've given the British public entertainment, rip 💖💖💖

[@joyclayton-gh3xq]

Thank you Alan for a lovely tribute to Keith Harris. Wonderful insight into this type of celebrity status. Ventriloquism is a unique talent. Its sad that he couldn't accept that it was his talent that made people want to see Orville and Cuddles more than him. Take care

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Hello Joy, I think from what people have said when they've met him personally, it was a very decent guy to meet. Possibly when he was younger. I just couldn't get over the fact they wanted to see The puppet small, but he definitely seemed to have a very sensitive soul from what I saw in the documentary. Thank you ever so much. It's always great to see you

[@lordkeith.4350]

I met him once I was waiting for my lift to work and Keith came along the main road, he waved and pulled up, he asked me if I was okay and shook my hand, we had a great chat and he was such a lovely guy, if I hadn’t have been going to work I would have offered him a coffee, after our chat I felt like I had been speaking to somebody who I had known for years, I never bothered him about asking for an autograph or about Orville or Cuddles, it was just an ordinary chat between two people passing time, I rarely meet anybody like that, I was quite upset when he passed away, he had so much talent, R.I.P Keith, it was a pleasure to have met you.

The adult version of that I've never seen either. It doesn't appear to be online. I'd like to have seen how he did it with the dummies.

@@rocka-cb7kk Hi Rocker what a fantastic story it's always great to get a real connection to some of these famous people and I'm also a big fan of Slade i even like the ballads like Everyday. That was very interesting about the drummer I didn't know that I remembered the accident but didn't know the details if I'm correct I think he forgot all the songs and had to relearn them and listen again just before the act I see he couldn't remember the affected him badly I believe. I always think that people who were singers are in bands the absolute best time it's such an emotional thing and then he can have a drink afterwards. I've got Noddys autobiography I read about half a bit it's good I don't know if you ever seen it.

[@raymondmaddocks9832]

The puppet was made in Coventry, when Keith died, Orville was given to his friend Steve Hewlett, after it was stated Orville had been retired and would never appear in public again. Orville was donated to the Grand Order Of Water Rats Museum. The puppet Orville was created in Coventry by a lady named June Pullon, who was also responsible for the creations of Sooty, Mr Blobby & Honey Monster.

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Hello Raymond, well that's fantastic. I wished I'd known all that when I was making the film. She obviously was a very talented woman who created all those. The only thing I can add that I know of interest is Harry H Corbett used to visit an old lady in the flat below my grandma's in the 1960s and my dad said that he at a workshop in Gaisley but I don't know if that's true. Anyway, at least you squashed up silly rumor that Orville was in the grave. Thank you Alan

Beautiful Tribute Alan ...He went far too soon ... Beautiful Headstone

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

It was an exceptionally nice headstone I agree Debbie Orville was spot on and even their little signature lettering was super quite often. The gravestones are underwhelming but this one was special. Thank you! Always great to see you ☺️

I loved keith and Orville as a kid. Sad to know he died so young. Great shirt by the way Alan.

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Hi P I bought it from mataland 😃 I like that kind of soft material and I'm glad it brought back some memories for you... Keith, not the shirt 👕😂

[@GraveVisitations]

I love your approach and humour on these videos Alan. Never stop doing what you do 👍 super video I'm sure Keith would be very proud 😊 I thought when you went under that bush you were going to say "duck" 😂

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Hi Cathal like human beings, every channel is different. You have a lovely relaxed approach which is soothing but the main thing as long as we're enjoying it. But thank you my friend. That's very kind of you. At the end of the day I'm only ducking and diving... It had to be done 👍😎

[@Landofmyfathers-h9c]

Good memories of Keith. Can totally relate to him. Yes he had his time etc...but no one deserves to get shit on

[@coulterry67]

Don't sell yourself short Alan, I follow your channel because you are a lovely genuine guy and I like the way you present your content and yes of course I'm interested in the person but you add your spin with knowledge, humour and compassion and you are also very respectful at the gravesite. You have a way of presenting that keeps it interesting all the way through. I couldn't find the whole interview with Louis Theroux and Keith but I saw an excerpt. His gravestone is very fitting ❤

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Hello Terry, that's super nice of you really. It makes me feel like I'm doing something worthwhile if people just enjoy it on entertainment and I get to remember their past a little and the people that's super. That's all I want to do. You can find the whole program on the internet. I saw the little clips too. It's under a website called Dailymotion. They have lots of programs from the past. He should come up in the list if you put in the two names it did for me. It's about 40 minutes long and it's good. There's also Paul Daniels and other people like that with Louie massive. Thank you, alan

[@MetalDetectingTheUK]

I think it was Bobby Davro who told the story of when Keith was very ill........they had a video chat on the computer. Bobby said, at the time of the call, Keith was very ill and bald because of his treatment, he was wearing a wig. Towards the end of the video call a green wing reached over the top of Keiths head and lifted Keiths wig off, held it just above his head then replaced it........Everyone broke out in full on laughter. Funny till the very end.

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Well metal detecting that's a great story and doesn't it show you the dedication of the man to be funny at such critical time. I did see Bobby talking about him on a program they obviously were good friends from pantomime thank you for that wonderful memory

[@carolhayes3874]

Good one this week Allan, just shows you what they are really like off stage, I always remember him coming across as happy go lucky sort of chap. Shame about his later life. But it was very interesting. Lovely grave though.

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Hello Carol, thank you, I appreciate your support, but there was quite a lot of comments on this film of people meeting him in person and he seemed very pleasant with everybody. But also a little bit sensitive but a very good ventriloquist see you again soon. Alan

[@carolhayes3874]

@@MotorHomeBeepBeep I remember seeing him on a pop show with Orville singing he can't fly, he did a good job on TV I quite liked the orangutan (can't remember it's name) so sad about his private life, but the picture of Orville on his grave made me think ahhhhh. x

I always feel a bit worried when you walk out of your motorhome and don’t close the door 😉 I have to admit I didn’t really like Orville but I am sure Keith Harris was a good person. I read that Orville was given to a museum

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Thank you. I know what you mean. I am very very uncareful. I did actually have a case stolen with a drone in it the other week but never mind let's carry on. It's not the end of the world but thank you

[@annoldham3018]

I remember him in Blackpool Victoria as my father in law was in the next ward. He was quite a celebrity as everyone was talking about him and how concerned they were about his health before he passed. So it just goes to show that your perceptions of how others see you can be inaccurate. Bless him. He was very good. Hope you enjoyed Blackpool Alan. Have you done Charlie Cairoli? He's in Carleton Crematorium I think.

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Hello Ann, I've just taken a screenshot cuz I've got to admit I don't know what that person is but I did enjoy Blackpool I went down the front I think he's quite a unique class. Although I have a funny story, I took my partner to a bed and breakfast and it's got to be the worst one I've ever experienced. I won't mention the name but it was on the front that's quite a few years ago about 5. but but I'm sure this quite a lot of good ones and inexpensive 😀

[@annoldham3018]

@@MotorHomeBeepBeep oh yes. We have some shockers! 🤣 Although the hotels and B&Bs are upping their game a bit now. I loved the one you did about Violet Carson. I live near her former bungalow and go to her local church. She is very well remembered.

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

@@annoldham3018 The traditional Blackpool hard-faced bed and breakfast lady was a bit of a joke about experienced that too where they hit the gong and everybody had to go for breakfast with her standing with folded arms scowling. I remember another one where she stopped people coming in to watch the act at night because they weren't residents. Nice story about Violet being well received by the locals as a kid saw her in Bradford also in a Rolls Royce in Bradford that's my only claim :-)

I met Keith on holiday 20 odd years ago in Spain he was a funny guy and we got hammered together he was in the front page of the sun newspaper next day and the attention he got was unbelievable he was hung over and hated the attention 😂 R.I.P Keith 🙏

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Well, that's a interesting little story. I do know that he drank a lot but it sounds like you had a decent night. It's a shame celebrities get picked on if they get caught doing what everybody else does having a good time 🍺

[@mrbipolarmattyhoward6071]

@@MotorHomeBeepBeep he came across as really nice fella there was about 5 of us lads and he just fitted in with us like we were long lost mates. He was very entertaining telling us some funny stories about famous people and how he hated the stuck up ones. He told us about the story in the sun coming out he got paid thousands and it was all BS to sell the story for few quid just because he hated the press he was on every show at the time we met was earning big money from tv shows so he didn’t need the money which i thought was brilliant. Nice guy lived the life most could only dream about.

[@cfp8872]

Another great VLOG, well done Alan. I enjoyed as always the story behind the person. My wife loves your voice, can I ask where you originally come from, we have an idea but it would be nice to know. I think it may be the last of your presentations in a shirt this year as it looks like we have now had the last of the good weather. In the words of one of my favourite TV shows Winter is Coming. All the best , Carl.

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Hi Cfp I was born in Bradford so did you get it correct? Or were you many miles out? I always think we don't have an accent, but I remember going to Turkey quite a few years back and even there could pinpoint Bradford. My second question is which is the TV show because if they say that in summer it would be strange 😀

Hi Alan and as cuddles used to say I hate that duck 🦆. Great video yet again and Keith nearly had the same name as me as he was keith Shenton and im keith Shelton lol. Funny how he didn’t like not being centre of attention and his dummies which had made were and if it wasn’t for Orville and Cuddles I don’t think he would have been the star he was. Take care my friend can’t wait for your next one 👏👏👏👍

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Well fancy that Keith it was definitely a close match with with the name. I had to do this film mate because people kept commenting on my films I think this Orville .... Oh was it awful? 😯 It was silly for bothering. He should have just looked at his bank balance that would have kept him Happy 😎
