He did always look like a man who enjoyed life.

He was Hard Working good actor,

So sad. I was only watching Minder the other day

Loved him in The Sweeney and Minder

The sweeney is always the show i remember, he was perfectly suited to that role

Just watched him today in New Tricks, what a shame ,not so old either, good actor.RIP.

Aww thats sad...loved him in The Sweeney.

Didn't he marry Rula Lenska??

Yes for a while

That’s a big loss , great actor , rip

Or little. Depends which way you look at it.

That sketch was only popular due to Dennis being so well known

74...no age...RIP

Some of you younger members who grew up with Eastenders may have known his daughter better than they did Dennis.

Sad news, RIP

Who's his Daughter?

That was my next question :laugh:

R.I.P

What did he die of?

Hannah Waterman, she played Laura Beale in EastEnders.

She's just joined it now on the old eps on Drama. Laura, she's Ian Beale's Nanny, she marries him eventually. Currently in mid 2000

They haven’t said...just that he died at home with his wife by his side so sounds like cancer maybe

I recognise the name now
