Sorry for the non summer wine question but I saw this film called “clash by night” with peter sallis in it, and am I mad but I swear Peter sallis in another life could have played Napoleon Bonaparte if ever given the chance? Im not saying they’re EXACTLY alike but I can’t help see a little resemblance? In the hairstyle anyway? Or is it just me?

Thank you for posting these pictures! I'd love to see that movie but it's hard to find here. I see what you mean as far as looks! Honestly though, I doubt it's a role he would have taken. There is an interview Peter did with Peter Levy, I think Captain posted it some time back, and Peter gave his opinion of his place in the acting world and of those doing parts he felt ill-suited to them. Also, I think it's in his book, he talks about having pains getting Poirot's accent right for a radio production he was in, and I don't think he was ever happy with it as he turned down an offer to do more. I'd feel very sorry for him having to fret over Napoleon's accent. It seems he took whatever he did very seriously.

Is this the same set they used for a few scenes in LOTSW?. The pile of hay looks familiar.

CAPTAIN CATASTROPHE !!!!] realising that he did not just hate "his ex wife's solicitor".....but a long list of adversaries.....WHICH LED TO.....Compo the HUMAN SCARECROW actually BECOMING ONE...as he helped the farmer with the bale of hay !!!!.
