Of course it'll fit; you just need a bigger hammer.

Thanks Rebbonk :thumbsup:

I only ever started watching Last of the Summer Wine because I misheard the announcer say it featured Peter Sellers. Took me weeks to catch on! :oops:

Was surprised to learn Sallis had been replaced as the voice of Wallace many years ago, thought it was still him.

R.I.P. Peter.

I remember the pilot of LOTSW. I really didn't find it funny. I believe that the series was actually written as a vehicle for Peter Sallis. I also understand that there was a lot of off-screen aggro between Compo and Blamire: so much so, that there were serious questions about the series continuing.
