RIP Dennis Waterman

[Blue in Munich]

Sad to see that one of the stars of The Sweeney, Minder & New Tricks has left us. Mrs BiM used to see him & John Thaw regularly as they used to film The Sweeney near her childhood home, Dennis was one of her first acting favourites. I always enjoyed his performances, very realistic to some characters I used to know & come across.

RIP Dennis, thanks for the memories.

Gad! Another of my favourites goes!
At least Arthur will get protection now!

Where was ‘er in doors manor as a child ?
Dennis Waterman was great in The Sweeney, but absolutely fantastic in Minder.
As he said he was” triffic “ and loved his half pint of Carlsberg with Dave in The Winchester, while avoiding Charlie Chisham ?

John Thaw and Dennis Waterman in The Sweeney, my favourite cop duo of all time.
RIP Dennis.

When it comes to the funeral, do we think he’ll write the theme tune and sing the theme tune ??

 

[PhilTheFragger]

Played with him at The Lambourne Club
Our society was short of a place and he was around and made up the numbers

Really nice decent guy, no aires or graces ?

Really shocked and sad to hear, another great has passed.
My favourite Cop drama too. All the scrapes Arthur got him into - "Terry... sort him out".
They don't make 'em like that any more.
Cheers Dennis!

I remember when it was on back in the 70s as I was in my early teens and I used to watch it with my dad. Re-runs are always doing the rounds on itv 3. RIP Dennis.

Sad day. Loved his shows and seemed a great guy in person as had a chat at a charity day at Bearwood.

Met him as a kid at a pro-celeb football match and again much later at the Harry Secombe Golf Classic. Always really personable. Sad loss

Great footballer who took home the World Cup ehit

Posts above suggest he was a nice guy. And sad that he's passed away. But never thought he was that good an actor. He made a career of it though, so fair enough.

I've been using the phrase "yes guv" to a mate for about 30 years. Not sure if we have to retire it now.
