Peter Sallis has passed away at the age of 96. I first knew about him as the voice of Wallace in the Wallace and Gromit clay animation series. He gave a very distinctive vocal performance and those films were a highlight of my childhood. As I grew older and became a Doctor Who fan I recognized that same voice when I saw Peter playing Scientist Penley in The Ice Warriors. The character itself was probably not that special but Peter Sallis gave him some charisma. He is probably better known for his on-screen appearance as Norman Clegg in Last of the Summer Wines from 1973 to the series' conclusion in 2010. His contributions will be missed.
