I'd get on to Cosgrove Hall ask them to make some new ones, but who'd do the voice for Penfold?

I am at a complete loss! I am totally pants at naming appropraite actors for pretty much -anything-.

Do Cosgrove Hall still do anything? I's have thought they'd have folded, seeing as none of their stuff is aired any more .

Last thing Cosgrovve did was 1994 so it looks unlikely they are still up and running.

1994 - The Avenger Penguins!
I loved them! Shame they only ran for two series...

Hey Dinsdale, do you think you could get in touch with CH?

Cosgrove Hall made a cartoon versions of "Wyrd Sisters" and "Soul Music" (Discworld books by Terry Pratchett) in 1997, according to http://www.ie.lspace.org/

You're right that was them, that website is out of date. The also did Soul Music, I think that was 1998.

I remember Wyrd Sisters!!! That was brilliant!!!
Heh, no I sort of remember the CH logo at the end. Nevere made the connection back then *^_^*...
I saw a clip of Soul Music, looked cool. Don't remember it being shown in the UK though.

Trying to get back on topic, who do we think would make a decent replacement for Penfold's voice?

It'd have to be quite high, but I don't think a woman's voice would work - Terry Scott's voice was definitely male (even if you didn't know who it was). Neil Morrisey does quite a few voice overs in cartoons, and he's quite chirpy and does childish-type voices well.

Bernard Cribbins? Paul Merton?

Well I've even forgotten what Neil Morrisey would sound like when he's not going "ohhhh, riiight" in Men Behaving Badly.
I suppose Paul Merton would be alright (cos you suggested him), it really boils down to how well they can imitate Terry Scott's voice. It's no good having a completely different sounding-voice for Penfold, the magic wouldn't be there!

This is ruining TV for me at the moment, as I am reviewing all actors for the part of Penfold. Someone please come up with the right replacement so I can rest easy again.

To be honest, I think Paul Merton is the only person I can think of who'd make a good Penfold. I think of him doing the line "oooh cheif it was awful! You see, we were flying over that castle...", imagining him doing it in a high voice (or even his normal voice).
It's ok, but it still isn't the same. Ultimatly, Penfold would never quite be Penfold...

I say, is there anyone who feels up to the task of writing a short peice for Terry Scott for this page?:

I suppose I could write another Obit for the page. No how about I write it here and someone else contribute it there. J-t-G is probably a little sick of my Bloefeld Obit's right now.

If you want, I'll give it to him. Or you could write on -on behalf- of the whole BBD movement.
I don't see why we should quibble. It is Penfold after all.

Here we go:

Terry Scott (1927-1994)

Stage name for Owen John Scott British comic actor star alongside June Whitfield in the sit-coms "Happy Ever After" and "Terry and June" from 1974 -88. However his career encomposed radio, film and theatre as well as television. Indeed his breakthrough came in radio though in 1955 he teamed up with Bill Maynard for the TV show "Great Scott it's Maynard" and in 1962 joined Hugh Lloyd for "Hugh and I" before the start of his longest partnership with June. He also voiced Dangermouse's sidekick Penfold in the Cosgrove Hall classic animated series. He was a supporting film actor appearing in 7 of the Carry On films and appeared in Pantomime as well as the West End Stage.

Thank you

What plan of action are we taking then? I think the latter is very appropriate.

So do I which you posted as I wrote. I'll do it now.

Seen it now.
Great. Respect. Remember Tommorrow.

You done good for us, matey

Tommorrow?

Mispelt *^_^*.

It's just a song. I sometimes mention it at times like this. It is a nice song .
