Interesting story in The Times about the problems of insuring the elderly cast of Last of the Summer Wine. Frank Thornton - best known for playing the part of Captain Peacock in Are you being served?, when he was a sprightly fifty-something - now can't get cover for working outdoors. As a result, all his scenes are shot in a studio.
Surely the biggest risk with Last of the Summer Wine is the audience watching a whole series of the p**spoor sitcom without laughing?
