Peter Sallis RIP

Sad to report that Peter Sallis of 'Last of the Summer Wine' and the voice of 'Wallace' from 'Wallace & Gromit' has died today aged 96.

Thanks for all of the laughs over the years Peter.

I echo the comments about Peter Sallis. My first memory of him though, when I was still a teenager, was his role as Samuel Pepys in a BBC series in the late 50's. Why I should remember that, I'm not sure, but he was a fine actor.

That was the role I immediately thought of when I heard of his death today. I'm glad he had a decent innings.

And another one gone, Adam West.

Most will know him as Batman, but I know him for his role as Mayor West in Family Guy, he had some cracking one liners in there.

RIP.

As a kid I marvelled at windys ability to somehow miss those sails!

I used to watch Trumpton, Camberwick Green and Chigley with our kids when they were young - they are now 47 and 49. We've still got a long-playing record of some of the songs somewhere.

Interestingly, only 13 episodes of each of the three series were ever made - 39 in total. They must have replayed them endlessly in the 1960s and 1970s.

In our area the fire brigade is often known as Trumpton by some people. Is this a general thing or just in the Bristol area?

RIP Chester Bennington.

The lead singer with rock band Linkin'Park died in an apparent suicide at home on Friday 21st July.
Chester had been suffering from depression for a while,but it is believed that his grief over the the passing of his close friend Chris Cornell was just too much.
Linkin'Park are one of those bands that will split opinion,and I have to admit that I didn't know that much about them until about 10 or 11 years ago. It was shortly after discovering Brums own Kerrang music station that I started hearing the likes of Linkin'Park on a regular basis.Many of their songs tell of the darker sides of love,life,relationships and the world in general.Most of which came from personal experiences,which makes his suicide all the more tragic.Chester suffered abuse as a child.
Chester had 6 children.5 from 2 marriages plus 1 adoption.Terribly sad for those kids,family and band mates.

RIP Carol Lee Scott Grotbags the witch

She used to terrify my little sister when we were kids. I still have visions of her diving behind the sofa whenever she came on TV Apparently I used to be scared of The Hulk so maybe our family has issues with green people.

Rest In Peace Carol and thanks for the memories.

 

[Aviador]

I can't believe John Heard was 71. Time really does pass by so quickly. Grotbags was simply brilliant. Kids today don't know what they're missing.

 

[andyc941]

Sorry all John Heard was 72 and died on the 21st July.
