Michael knew what he had to to do. He was completely unselfish. No one knew he was going to die at the fairly young age of 73.

There's a YouTube video of when Summer Wine was inducted into the comedy hall of fame and Peter Sallis compares it to the weather forecast which I thought was quite churlish. Granted that SW is what's described as a gentle comedy, but...
