R.I.P. Brian Wilde

One you consider that, apart from Peter Sallis, he was the last of the pre-1997 old men in Last of the Summer Wine, and that he was the last surviving main actor in Porridge, one feels an era has passed.
Hat tip to Tim Roll-Pickering.

Sorry to here he has died. It sure was impressive seeing him and the other old boys on Summer Wine climb those Yorkshire hills.

Incidentally, the program has a folowing here in the United States too. It is one of the more popular programs on Public Television.
