What a great voice and a fine comedy actor.
Wallace 😥 RIP
Lovely Cheese Gromit.
I always thought that Last of the Summer Wine was rubbish without him. He could deliver a dead pan one liner very well.
Do something, Gromit! 🙁
good inning though.
He's was great as Wallace.
96 is a fine age though. RIP.
The bounce has gone from his bungie.
'I'm in bread too yknow'
Has me in stitches.
Beautiful voice. awesome innings
Always seemed that he'd just go on forever, such a great comedy actor, as mt says, so good at the dead-pan delivery.
The world seems just a bit emptier today, he's going to be sorely missed; he's left a wonderful legacy behind him, though, we can continue to enjoy Wallace for ever.
🙁
Very sad news.. Cleggy and crew were my favourite comedy characters when I was a kid.
No more cheese Gromit 🙁

Um, he was in every episode.
RIP Norman Clegg.
@simondbarnes. That was my dead pan line of the day, I do realise it's not as good as Peter Salis.
You listening to R4 now.
96 not bad at all.
Bloody good innings and a great comedy actor. RIP
My three year old is just discovering the joys of the Aardman animations. The wrong trousers is his current favourite

No, I've dug out my Last of the Summer Wine DVDs 🙂
96 a good age and some great memories for fans.
Very sad; a true gent and a real star.
I hope that they send a bouquet like this to the funeral.[img]

Bother!

Woke up one morning to find him and the other cast and crew of LOTSW sat at the end of the drive filming (in Summer) for a Christmas special. We sat and chatted for while - delightful chap. Next time I do one of the descents around here (Holmfirth) I'll raise my feet off the pedals and shout whooooaaa-whooaaaaa in a brakes-failed styleee. Hopefully I'll avoid going headfirst over a wall at the bottom and ending up between Marina and Howard.
He was great as "The Book" in Hitchhiker's Guide too.
As a kid I watched LOTSW and later I loved Wallace & Gromit. I feel like I should go down the street in a bath tub is his honour.
R.I.P.

Not as good as Peter Jones
I'm not sure he was ever the guide in HHGG.
What version was that? It was originally Peter Jones, then William Franklyn.
Or Stephen Fry in the film.
He wasn't, I was being facetious.
He could have voiced the leader of the cheese-worshiping Tyromancers from the 6th book, though.

Oh bugger.
About 20 years ago i went for lunch in Richmond, the pub on the river just off the green. Anyway, as we walked down the road off the green we met Peter Sallis cleaning his car in the road. He lived in one of the rather nice cottages by the pub. My dad stopped to say hello which i thought was really nice, no idea what he said but they were chatting in the street. Funny really seeing famous people doing normal things.
A friend of mine wrote this, figured I'd share.

A beautifully written piece. Mrs Lucorave and I have watched a few of the older episodes of LOTSW in the last couple of days whilst the kids have binged watched W&G.
Laughter has filtered throughout the homestead and all thanks to Peter Sallis.
As a child in our house it was staple viewing on a Sunday evening and the titles rolling? at the end would signal "bath time, school in the morning".
I loved the simplicity and warmth of the show and the level of companionship they shared. My brothers? and I would always joke that our Grandfather and his pals would be up to just those sort of antics whilst Granny thought he was at his allotment.
