96 is a fair age to go. No more Wallace and Gromit films though. RIP

Sallis stopped doing W&G in 2011. There have been W&G projects since then with another voice actor. It'll never be the same, but it won't necessarily stop.

Sad news, but 96 is a bloody good run.

Peter Salis was one of the reasons I could occasionally watch LOTSW. Dry understated British indifference at it's best.

RIP.
