Why isn't cast honoured by the Queen?

In my opinion, "Last of the Summer Wine" is one of the best of British comedies. But why isn't the cast awarded with British honours like an M.B.E., O.B.E., or C.B.E.? I would take this cast anyday over any other show. Frank Thornton, Peter Sallis, Kathy Staff, Jane Freeman, Dora Bryan, Jean Alexander, Bert Kwouk, and others have long been ignored by the British honours system. The show keeps going on and has a rich wonderful history. I envy Roy Clarke's ability to keep it fresh, alive, funny, and clean without going to far to offend anybody. When I watch it, I wish I had a hometown like theirs to go back too when I retire. Who says being old, means you're dead? So come on, let's get this perfectly talented ensemble team nominated for an M.B.E. for their services to television comedy. Frank, Peter, Kathy, Jane, Dora, Jean, Bert and the others who are long overdue for their honours. Please visit the following website

The only cost is postage to the nominator and the process takes 2 years. Frank, Peter, Jean, and Dora are well into their 80s. So hurry them up.
