The last screen role of veteran performer Sir Norman Wisdom is being shown with the release of a short film.
The 92-year-old, who came out of retirement to play a vicar plagued by a fly in a cafe, suffers from vascular dementia and lives in a care home.
Expresso, which will raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support, features Dame Judi Dench on a foreword for the DVD. In a message released with the film, Sir Norman said he was "a lucky little devil" to make a return to a film set.
"I had a great day - every minute was worth an hour," added the comic actor, who urged everyone to watch the "wonderful" 10-minute film, which captures a number of customers at the coffee shop. In July 2006, Sir Norman, who lives on the Isle of Man, underwent an operation to fit a pacemaker in Liverpool.
He announced his retirement from show business at the age of 90 in February 2005.
