O/T:- R.I.P Dennis Waterman

Passed away aged 74 in an hospital in Spain, thoughts are with his family at this sad time

He appeared in some classic tv programmes, loved the Sweeney and Minder.

Big Fulham and Chelsea fan and narrated the excellent "Match of the 70s" series.

R.I.P Dennis. One of things I most enjoyed watching him in was ''The World Cup: A Captain's Tale'' . The story of the ''first World Cup'', the ''Sir Thomas Lipton Trophy''.

Appeared in so many things going back to a 1960s Hammer film. Minder I liked a lot, a lot of fun and a fabulous partnership with George Cole's 'Arfur'. Rest in Peace, Dennis.

He was awesome in the Sweeney !!! book him Danno !

Yes great English actor. I thought he was good in Scars of Dracula, but that film is constantly panned by the critics, even though I think it's not a bad movie. R.I.P Dennis.

I remember watching that at the time it was premiered. exactly 40 years ago next month (05/Jun/1982). Presumably produced with the forthcoming World Cup in Spain in mind, England's first appearance in the finals for 12 years.
