I'm not sure about the spelling, but it looks like Oric from Blake's Seven

 

That’s a ding for MTH

Orac is indeed from the British science fiction television series Blake's 7. The voice of Orac was Peter Tuddenham, except in its initial episode where he was played by Derek Farr.

Orac was supposedly a highly advanced supercomputer developed by the scientist Ensor.To me it looks more like an evil geocache

I know he was a fake, played in a film by Pierce Brosnan. I know it wasn't Archibald Leach (Cary Grant) but it was something like that.

Sorry, he wasn't a fake, just misunderstood. Yes he was played in a film by Pierce Brosnan (and if you are looking for clues to his home in that film forget it) But you are getting close with the name!

I was expecting this to have been answered by now as I have had no electric /internet since 3pm Wednesday

But, as it hasn’t, let give you a hint.

It is more of a feminine hobby but a lot of men do it too.

 

My Mum used to have Anchor Silks in her sewing machine box (I played with the empty bobbins) so I will plump for embroidery .........
