Nick Park has revealed that Wallace and Gromit may not return for another adventure.

The Oscar-winning animator has said that he is not sure if the series would continue without Wallace voice actor Peter Sallis.



Park said that the 93-year-old actor is "not too well", and suffers from the eye condition macular degeneration. He has not voiced Wallace in four years.

Sallis has Ben Whitehead as an understudy for Wallace, but Park has yet to decide if he would make another project without Sallis.

Speaking at the 25th anniversary of Leith School of Art, Park said: "He's not too well. It's a big question for us, whether to keep going. We have got an understudy who has stepped in sometimes, Ben Whitehead, a young actor in London.

"He actually started off doing the stuff Peter didn't want to do, like video games, or if we needed a voice for an exhibition. He was doing some of the voices on The Curse of the Were-Rabbit and stood in for Peter sometimes."

He continued: "He's quite convincing. Some people have spotted it and have said he doesn't really sound like [Wallace], but he's getting good.

"Whether he will stand in eventually, I'm not sure. There's nothing planned at the moment."

Park added that he "would love to do more Wallace and Gromits in the future" and that he "could make more films with them till the cows come home".

Peter Sallis has voiced Wallace since 1990, and originally took the job despite being offered just Â£25.
