That genuinely upsets me.

I've grown up with the Sweeney & Minder etc.

A terrible shame, grew up watching Dennis on tv, makes me feel very old and quite sad. Rip Dennis.

Write the theme tune, sing the theme tune.

Wow I didn't expect that. Grew up watching Minder and The Sweeney.

I know there were issues with Rula but a nice guy.

I joined a golf club and in my first round I played with Dennis. He was very friendly, very welcoming & it was clear he didn’t need to do much acting for many of his roles. After that we would play in same group of guys most weekends. He was a st golfer but never took it too seriously.

As a group we went to Peurto Banus golfing one year, a few of the guys were always out partying, getting pissed. Dennis was happy to have a quiet meal with a few beers with a few of us. Whenever we were out he had a steady stream of middle aged ladies wanting autographs & photos. He always did it with a smile.

A year or so after I’d left the area I went back to the golf club to get something. Dennis was in the bar & as he saw me come in called me over & bought me & my girlfriend (who he didn’t know) a drink.

Despite his issues with Rula, he was very loving & caring for his current wife, you could clearly see that.

RIP Dennis I look forward to a beers & a few rounds of hacking when I join you up there

Whaaat?! Jeezo, RIP indeed and thanks for the laughs over the years old boy.

[Tannedbaldhead]

So sad.

Bloody hell was just watching him this afternoon. Very sad, all the greats are slowly leaving us.

A other key part of youth gone....RIP

Aghhhhh bugger!

Really sad to hear this news, Sweeney and Minder were a big part of my teenage years. My mates and I used to go to parties and pull up sharpish in our car and jump out shouting ‘sweeney’!

Them were the days.

[biggbn]

Massive part of my childhood gone there. Minder and Sweeney my two all time favourite series. What a shame
