Ah man this is sad. I was a bit too young to appreciate him as Terry in Minder but was all over the re-runs on UK gold in both minder and the sweeney. Which brings me to my Dennis Waterman story, me and a good mate had one of those 'is that him' moments at a bar in Gerrard Street, he was drinking with a similar aged male. When his mate left to go to the toilet I seized my chance and went over to do what I'm sure all recognisable people love. "Scuse me mate, are you Dennis Waterman"
To which he asked me outright and not without a glint in his eye. "If I say yes, will you and your mate stop staring at us and fuck off" I told him of course we would and he shook my hand and slapped me manly on the clavicle and I slid away

Loved him in Minder and the Sweeny.
Out of respect, @Henry Irving can the title of the thread include two ns in Dennis?
But not as bad as The Sun, which has got a picture of the wrong "Minder" (Gary Webster) on its web site!
RIP
Just about remember the Sweeney.
Minder was funny.
He seemed to be everywhere in the 80’s.
RIP Tel & enjoy the cigar ♥️

In Minder the chemistry between him and George Cole was wonderful to watch - again a superb drama/ comedy
