Peter Sallis Disappointment - September 24th, 2013 Well I wrote to Peter Sallis on 5th August, the famous voice of Wallace in Wallace & Gromit, and character of Norman Clegg in Last of the Summer Wine, and I enclosed a photo of Wallace and Gromit, a letter of request and a self-addressed stamped envelope.
I used the following address:
Peter Sallis
Jonathan Altaras Associates
11 Garrick Street
Covent Garden
London
WC2E 9AR
I received a printed letter back on 21st September saying he is sadly unable to sign anything, and they returned my photo and enclosed a photo with a pre-printed signature on it. I am aware Mr. Sallis is now 92 and suffers from macular degeneration meaning his eyesight is going, so I daresay it is no longer possible to obtain an autograph from Peter Sallis at all. Shame, but nevertheless I tried.
You can see the pre-printed autograph here:

Personally unless youre happy with a tiny pre-printed photo, I wouldnt bother writing to Peter Sallis for an autograph. I dont even know if my letter was read by him. Just watch the programmes and appreciate his work that way.
