SIR Norman Wisdom has filmed his last ever screen role, right here in the Midlands.
The 92-year-old entertainer came out of retirement earlier this year to appear in short film Expresso.
The ten-minute film was shot in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, in January.
It is released on DVD tomorrow in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support UK and Sir Norman's family say it is his final performance.
The star is suffering from vascular dementia and is now looked after in a care home.
Expresso is set in a cafe and focuses on the different customers who occupy one table over the course of a day.
