[felixthecat]

No more Wallace although he'll always be Clegg to me.

Good innings at 96 though

His final close shave

 

[StoneRoad]

RIP - both Clegg and Wallace have produced many a smile in this household, it is sad news of his passing past the final curtain call.

 

[Bonfirelight]

the Last of The Summer Wine curse strikes again

RIP
He was a very good actor, in lots of things over the years.
I didn't realise he was quite that age.

Could have been him with Britt Ekland back in the day . So near and yet so far .

It didn't occur to you that somebody who played the role of a pensioner, albeit a moderately sprightly one, between 1973 and 2010 might actually be quite old.

Was Peter Sallis the first choice for the lead in "Get Carter"? I suppose it would at least have made the casting of Councillor Alf Roberts a tad less incongruous.

I'm sure that Wallis had the foresight to build a cracking machine with which his beloved companion could be euthanized after his own death

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Awww, that's sad to hear

 

[DaveCinzano]

DON'T FORGET THE CRACKERS!

 

[tim]

It's sad that he never got to play Bond. Still, he did manage to get the rôle of a middleaged midatlantic spymaster in this early sixties episode of Dangerman.

Peter Sallis would have made Dr Strangelove an even more memorable film . It was that other bloke who kept getting all the fun .

I thought he was the voice of the book in Hitchhikers. He was not.

I think that was Peter Jones.
