Burt Kwouk, who played Entwistle in Last Of The Summer Wine
(but best known for his role as Kato in Pink Panther probably) has died aged 85 :-(


MERRY ENTWISTLE AND JACKSON DAY

Last of the Summer Wine Episode


We have just returned from a holiday where we spent the day in Holmfirth. Last Of The Summer Wine was filmed there!

Yes he was!

I enjoyed Tenko.I watched it all the way through a couple of years ago on the channel "Yesterday", I think it was.

He was great as Entwhistle and I loved Last of The Summer Wine. We visited Holmfirth a few years ago and took the tour on the little old restored bus!
