Veteran comedian
Tommy Cannon appeared in three episodes of
Last of the Summer Wine, but this doesn't even scratch the surface of the tip of the iceberg of his career. A national treasure who became a household name as one half of Cannon and Ball alongside the late Bobby Ball, Tommy has been a welcome present on stage and screen since the 1970s in projects like
The Cannon and Ball Show,
The Boys In Blue,
I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!,
Not Going Out, and much much more.
Jonathan Linsley charmed
Last of the Summer Wine audiences as Sid and Ivy's nephew "Crusher" and went on to appear in
First of the Summer Wine as "Chunky". In advance of his one man show later in the evening, Jonathan joins former cast-mates to share memories of filming.
Stuntman
Stuart Fell doubled for Bill Owen as Compo for many years and has a tale or two to tell about his many pratfalls, runaway rides, and tumbles. In addition to his work in
Last of the Summer Wine, Stuart has also performed all manner of death defying feats in films and television series like
Doctor Who, Superman, The Empire Strikes Back, Blake's 7, The Goodies, 'Allo 'Allo, and
Keeping Up Appearances.
David Fenwick had big shoes to fill as the young Norman Clegg, but proved himself across two series of
First of the Summer Wine. A familiar face across film and television, David has appeared in the likes of
Grange Hill, Emmerdale, Heartbeat, Coronation Street, The Krays and more.
Maggie Ollerenshaw holds the record for the most roles in separate series penned by Roy Clarke. In addition to her guest roles in
Last of the Summer Wine and
Rosie, she played the part of Clegg's mother in
First of the Summer Wine and Mavis in both
Open All Hours and
Still Open All Hours. To children she may be best known as the voice of Henrietta in Thomas the Tank Engine since 2014, but her long and wide ranging career has taken in roles from Victoria Wood's
As Seen On TV to
Play For Today and from
Scarborough to
The House of Elliott.
