Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted August 29, 2010 I wonder if I should suggest Peter Sallis as a possible candidate for next years list? He does look remarkably well for an eighty-nine year old...But, then again, you never know... You may suggest all that you wish for, however, the chances of the relevant people listening and acting upon it is about as likely as Windsor falling in love with me and begging me to elope with him to Cumbria...or summat. Basically, no fucking chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im certainly wouldnt consider out of hand the possibility that a same sex relationship may be less aggro and, ultimately, lead to my long term happiness. Keep the thought Winny!

Dead Wait 1,129 Posted May 20, 2013 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-22454369 Saw this new advert on TV last night, Peter as Wallace sounds exactly the same - hard to believe he is 92!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RichardFeynman 16 Posted August 28, 2013 I love how half of the posts aren't even talking about Peter Sallis, though I can't blame them for not wanting to ruin a perfectly good discussion about the benefits of gay relationships by even mentioning that unfunny prick.

Bit harsh RF. Peter Sallis is an actor first and foremost who tended to get cast in comic roles. Like former Deathlist fav Clive Dunn he has spend 40 years playing old men.

Bibliogryphon 9,573 Posted March 27, 2015 I have frequently lamented the loss of most of the cast of the BBC children's series Rentaghost with only Sue Nicholls and Christopher Biggins being left but Peter Sallis starred in a series about Ghosts which was contemporary The Ghosts of Motley Hall which has a better track record for cast survival. Of the regular cast only Arthur English has died. Freddie Jones was last seen on Emmerdale, Sheila Stefal is still alive and Nicholas le Provost was on stage recently with Ralph Fiennes. The actor who played the other regular character left the industry. Admittedly many of the guest cast have long depared like Alfred Marks, Joan Sanderson and Brian Wilde. It is worth looking out for as it was inventive and witty and probably wasted on kids. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is worth looking out for as it was inventive and witty and probably wasted on kids. Wasn't wasted on me, in fact just last week I watched all 3 series and the Christmas Special on Youtube. One of my favourite shows ever in my otherwise awful childhood. I was considering a DDP team but after counting the actors and even production team I couldn't reach 20. Tragedy of this show is the young man who played Matt the stable lad, Sean Flanagan, died in 1981, only 3 years after the show finished. The quality of actors in this so called children's show is amazing, though I do guess after about three series of "spirit" jokes, you do begin to run out. They don't make them like this any more, sadly. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rentaghost is my favourite of all time, I can still watch it now and laugh. Thing is, these shows were made in an era where Childrens Television had a proper budget, a dedicated department and the quality was never skimped on, we wuzz the envy of the World we wuzz. Now, I would imagine, its all cheap shite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now, I would imagine, its all cheap shite. This is one problem of the digital age is that Children's TV has been ghettoised. With a lot of older shows they new some adults were watching and passing comment. However from my daughter's childhood there were a few good shows Raven, Stupid and I'm Sorry I've Got No Head and there are some brilliant bits in the first two series of Young Dracula.

msc 18,439 Posted August 19, 2015 Health wise, sadly, he's not been too good. He had health issues towards the end of LOTSW too, and sight issues. He also stopped reply to fan mail two years ago on health grounds. Macular degeneration on its own isn't fatal, I don't think, so the continued concerned whispers suggest something other than age and going blind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe it is just extreme old age.After all 94 for a man is bloody old and at that age the body and mind can just slow down for no other reason than wear and tare.
