RIP Dennis Waterman

[ExtraordinaryBehaviour]

I am actually really sad, I loved him in Minder.

No! That's so sad. New Tricks is probably my favourite police drama.

Very sad..
I grew up watching The Sweeney and Minder

He was an abusive tosser by all accounts!

Remember him in Up the Junction with Maureen Lipman

Very odd film

The Sweeney with the legendary John Thaw x

@woodhill Adrienne Posta was brilliant in that

Oh how sad 😞

A lovely man? I don't think so, a charming man maybe, but a lot of abusers are.

I loved him in Minder but was disgusted about his comments about having punched his wife in the face.

The Life and Loves of a She Devil... I'd forgotten about that @clarepetal! I loved it too.

I've not seen life an loves, will have a look

So sad to hear this. Loved The Sweeney

i liked New Tricks

my dh saw him in a pub in london, he came in with 4 minders!

"She certainly wasn't a beaten wife, she was hit and that's different."

"It's not hard for a woman to make a man hit her."

"The problem with strong, intelligent women is that they can argue, well."

Quotes from Dennis Waterman. He really wasn't a 'lovely man'.

I had to google him as I wasn't sure who he was but I think it's sad that time and again so many people overlook male actors abuse just because they liked his character in a show/movie 🤷🏽‍♀️

he played some great iconic characters

RIP my foot. He was an abuser.

Yep, no rip from me. Good riddance!

I met him with no minders
c 1989

My thoughts are for his family as they mourn, especially for his children. I lost respect for him as I have no time for any man who hits a woman.

He was great in everything. He was in a fab series called Moses Jones, and I loved him in She Devil. The domestic violence stuff was probably 40 years ago, who can remember the facts?

I agree with every word of this, any man who hits a woman is worthless in my eyes but losing a parent is such an awful thing to go through, they have a long painful road of grief ahead of them so lots of sympathy for the family.
