RIP Peter Sallis

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

96, that's a good innings. He was fantastic in Last of the Summer Wine too.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

I read somewhere that he did the voice for A Grand Day Out for the princely sum of fifty of your English pounds, which must have been quite a fortune for Nick Park as a struggling art student. It's stuff like this that demonstrates that he is a true artist - yes, he could have asked for thousands, but like Nanny Ogg says,
"The price for being able to shoe anything, anything that anyone brings you, is having to shoe anything anyone brings you."

The price Sallis paid for having that voice was...well, having that voice. You've got a gift and if you want to keep it you have to pay your dues. Some people get it, some don't. Sallis clearly did. A true gent.
