00:00What chemistry did you have with Ken, Nina?

00:12There was definitely a chemistry there.

00:16I think he had great hopes for me.

00:20You had a relationship with him.

00:22What?

00:22He was 60.

00:23You were 26.

00:24I mean, tell us about that, Nina.

00:25Shut up, monkey.

00:26I mean, I was quite young when I knew him,

00:28and I did say stupid things.

00:31There only exists one video of me with him,

00:34and he's telling such an interesting story,

00:37and I pick up on the most stupid details

00:39and throw him off the points.

00:40I was a bit of an asshole, a bit of a naive asshole.

00:45I never got to thank him well enough

00:48for having given me a whole career.

00:51I was planning to do something in his lifetime,

00:54and I ended up doing something after it,

00:55which was really annoying.

00:57This is the last will and testament of me,

00:59Kenneth Victor Campbell.

01:00I give to Nina Conti all my ventriloquist's mannequins,

01:06also referred to as dolls, dummies, or puppets,

01:09together with all my collection books

01:11relating to the art of the ventriloquist,

01:13and any material contained in or recorded on other media

01:17relating to the same.

01:19They're such uniquely bereaved objects.

01:24They lose their voices.

01:27Hidden amongst it all, I found this long-forgotten note from Ken

01:31insisting that I go to the World Ventriloquist Convention in Kentucky.

01:36Now, this was the place where Ken had bought the Teach Yourself Ventriloquism Kit

01:42that got me started.

01:43But also, I found these photos of this extraordinary-looking place called Venthaven,

01:48which seemed to be a graveyard for puppets of dead ventriloquists.

01:52Only in America, Nina.

01:54So, I decided to go on one last Ken-inspired adventure.

02:00I'm going to go to Kentucky,

02:01and I'm going to donate Ken's dog puppet to Venthaven.

02:05Venthaven, where dummies can never rest.

02:08I'm also going to time my visit with the convention

02:11so that I can meet lots of ventriloquists and lots of their puppets

02:15and give this art form one last thorough going over.

02:18Freak.

02:19Hello!

02:20Have you got a room for Nina Conti?

02:23Conti?

02:23How do you do?

02:24He's not listed.

02:25You didn't list me?

02:26No.

02:27I'll tell you.

02:27You are no idea of Ken.

02:31Pleased to meet you.

02:33Nice to meet you too, you're so small.

02:35Oh, yeah?

02:36Oh, you're winking over there.

02:39Yeah, my name is Korky.

02:41He's Korky, I'm Cookie.

02:43What happened?

02:44Oh, well, they call me your old Kill.

02:48Oh, no, no Kill.

02:50You're a real star.

02:51No, you're a star, honey.

02:53I want to be here.

02:54I want to be here and I want to be in here.

03:00I hate parties.

03:02This feels silly, talking in an empty room in the middle of the night

03:07in Kentucky to a national country.

03:09Yeah.

03:10I don't like it anymore.

03:12No, I don't like it anymore.

03:15What happened?

03:32Holy cow!

03:34He's pinned!

03:45He's pinned!
