Peter Sallis at The Daphne du Maurier Festival

What a national treasure we have in this much underrated actor.
Despite his health just beginning to fail a little, Peter's representation of being a little more absent minded than he is in reality, interspersed with sabre like wit
delivered with a lifetime's learning of comic timing was a joy to watch.
Despite knowing it was Peter the person in conversation with Samantha Norman (daughter of Barry Norman), listening to such a well known voice I was constantly expecting either a comment about the antics of Foggy and Compo or for him to utter "more tea Grommit
"?
Of course he didn't do either but what he did do was to enthrall and entertain a packed house for nearly two hours not least with an outstanding impression of Sir John Gielgud!
May Peter Sallis drink many, many more glasses of the last of the summer wine.
