Always liked him as an actor, was never that keen on Minder as a series but he was brilliant in New Tricks.

Yep.

Really pi#$ed me off.

Used to really enjoy most of his work.

[FourWheelDrift]

I thought he'd be older now, but then looking back at The Sweeney he looked older than his 27 years and John Thaw was only 33, both just seemed to be much older back then.

We used to see him with Rula Lenska around Beaconsfield . My niece was his cleaner for a while ,said he was always pleasant to deal with.
RIP

I liked him more where he was a bit tasty. He must have been a good actor, because I have no idea which persona, if any, is true to his real character.

That's astonishing.

[944 Man]

Thaw was only just over thirty when Regan was filmed. DW looked baby-faced in comparison.

[Eric Mc]

Loved his character in "New Tricks".

Think he might have liked that

When Little Britain went massive and were touring doing sell-out arena tours, DW appeared in at least one of the live shows and sent himself up.

I thought he was great (early Minder was the best), RIP

[Biker's Nemesis]

I had just turned into a Teenager when Minder first aired.

I rather liked the Minder series.
