Oztalgian 2,851 Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Dennis Waterman who was a household name in three long running TV series, as DS George Carter alongside John Thaw in The Sweeney, as Terry McCann with George Cole in Minder and Gerry Standing in New Tricks has left us this weekend aged 74., far too young. Whilst he is best known for those three roles let us remember all his other work too. I know someone will mention that he hit one of his wives, at least he was man enough to admit it, say he was sorry and that he should not have done it. He brought me a lot of enjoyment with those three series and New Tricks is currently showing on FTA TV. Another geezer gone. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 9,937 Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 And from time to time on Talking Pictures TV you can see films from the early 60s where he appears as a child actor around 10-15 years old; easily recognisable even then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
