Dennis waterman starred in 2 classic tv shows from a vintage era in British drama,...Sweeney and minder became part of my wonderful childhood growing up in the 70s and 80s,...both were great gritty dramas with humor, and a charm , that we grew to love, and look back with now,..with a warmth and a fondness.......miss those .great times
When I was a kid in the 1980's that Thames opening indent "dah dah da daahhh" meant something good was about to start. Minder, The Sweeney, Morecambe and Wise..... Wish they made telly like that, today.

@@hazelanderson1479 I think the prize has to go to Buster Merryfield AKA "Uncle Albert" from ONLY FOOLS AND HORSES. There's a clip on here somewhere where he does a brief interview, I couldn't believe it was the same guy when he spoke in his "normal" voice !
They did a This Is Your Life for John Thaw and it used to be on TH-cam but I just looked and couldn't find it☹️. I did find the one they did with John Inman though. "I'm free!* link: th-cam.com/video/ayZMiCR1gWk/w-d-xo.html
mistofoles dunno never met him, maybe he doesn’t always want fans being after him. Or his current wife makes him to be like that. She seems to be the leader in their household.
They couldn't make this programme now, can you just imagine tonight Steph Davies this is your life. You might notice tonight's audience is made up entirely of men, well they are in fact most of the men you've slept with unfortunately we couldn't find a studio big enough to fit the all in
I think you would find that they would say that that audience was hand picked especially. After all, black history month now states that our country was rebuilt by those from Africa and the West Indies so by the late 70’s there should have been millions in London.
Dennis waterman was Britain’s biggest television star of the 1970s and 1980s . Incredible
Biggest, smallest star

You forgot his most famous role as Just William !
I'll scream and I'll scream until im thick.
Dennis Waterman reminds of my dad the same 70s hairstyle looks build r.i.p.dad I miss you.
Dennis Waterman, what a great actor. R.I.P
U smell of wee
He comes across as a decent chap as well.
The acting was so natural and realistic. Believable. Nothing today touches this stuff.
U live in the past u tool

Wish they made telly like that, today.
Exactly
Great chap made tv brilliant one of the legends for sure ,
Waterman and Thaw were great together.
As were Waterman and Cole in minder
Dream.team.
never be repeated in history
Now all are back together
What a Great show 10/10 . There is a episode in The Sweeney with George Cole and John Hurt . RIP to them all .📢👏👏👏👏
When female 'actors' were ACTRESSES and there was NO QUESTION ABOUT IT.
Good old Dennis waterman
Great actor
Great, interesting TV show. Actors with normal ego's. Brilliant
So much better than the shite we have to watch these days
100%👍
You don't "have to" watch it .
Turn it off
@@peterherrington3300 Why you pay for it anyway .
Great double act bless them ,Dennis didn’t look to pleased though ,best Tv ever unlike the rubbish now ,RIP to Mr Waterman ,thaw and andrews
Loved the Waterman hair spread. How to make 4 strands look like a full barnet. Superb stuff.
We're the Sweeny son,and we haven't had any dinner.
Get your trousers on, you're nicked!
"Round the back" Haskins
Well don't just stand there like a motorway breakfast !! 🤣😂😂
Leave it out guv!!!
Cult viewing back in the day nothing like it ever since.
Rip John and Dennis
Great show.
I love this programme
Dennis waterman his a great actor i remember him in the sweeney minder stay Lucky and new tricks sadly passed away RIP 1948- 2022
He was only 30 here.....wow
"We're the Sweeney son, and we haven't 'ahd any dinnah. Nahhhh ... you gonna tell us where you hid the photers, or do we 'ave to give you a good kickin'?"
The Sweeny was real TV before tech took over
Dennis Waterman. Gone to soon. RIP!
Wow, Dennis is much more well-spoken when he speaks as "himself" !
RADA .
It`s a fake posh accent he picked up at stage school.....And it shows!!
Most of them are. A real eye-opener for me was Bob Grant, who played Jack in “On The Buses”. He sounded very posh in real life!

It’s called acting. They’re paid to portray different characters.
Brilliant.
The episode they are filming is ‘The Bigger They Are’ from series 4.
God bless u I grow up witching u
Best Sweeney raid ever!
Brilliant
This is your life was great show. I don't think it would be possible to keep the secret these days though!
That was very special!!..
Rip dennis go party with Arthur and thaw
Dave will be serving them from behind the bar at The Winchester🍺
I never knew he had been on this is your life so young
Lot of people were in their early thirties on This is your life. In the days when the average actor was dead by late fifties.
have him Dennis...take him apart
Fantastic actor he really was, I've watched his pierce Morgan and enjoyed it aswell
Great viewing entertainment! Wouldn’t be allowed today.
What wouldn't be allowed? A guy having a wife, or ?!!! Real actors and actresses?
*Isn't allowed for now.
You want to see Phil Cool impersonations of Eamonn Andrews.
Thaw passaway along time a go rip Mr
Dennis was also in 'on the up' and sang the theme tune..
and stay lucky, another great show
This is your life at 30 !
I assumed this was for John Thaw.
They did a This Is Your Life for John Thaw and it used to be on TH-cam but I just looked and couldn't find it☹️. I did find the one they did with John Inman though. "I'm free!* link: th-cam.com/video/ayZMiCR1gWk/w-d-xo.html
Old people looked a lot older back then ...
So you want me to be on This Is Your Life, write the feme toon, sing the feme toon?
Ahhh Terence dear boy
Rip Dennis waterman
Legend brilliant actor RIP
"The Sweeney's doing ninety 'cos he's got nowhere to go ..." Kool For Kats Squeeze
The sweeney's doing ninety
'Cause "they've got the word to go"
That may have no relevance to the show, rather the real life flying squad. Rhyming slang. Sweeney Todd = flying squad.
DW was yet to go on to his most famous role Minder
Loved them pair in the sweeney Todd flying squad
I think he broke rula lenskas fingers...Nice man
Try doing a little less thinking and get some facts.
I remember this scene after the blackmail plot
Like a guy who just couldn’t be arsed with his Mrs.
It's a fair cop!!!
we miss mr andrews
RIP
All those years ago
I was half expecting the beep machine to work itself to death then !!!!
R.I.P. Eamonn Andrews
TV Legend!
Every other of episode tiyl except this one on TH-cam.
cripes he was only 30 and John Thaw was only 36!!
Is there the full episode anywhere.
His greeting for his wife wasn’t exactly warm.
That's because he's a wife beater.
He hit compass once.
banged to right’s
I still miss Morse.
Dennis
Dennis's remark to his wife seems very cutting and there's definitely tension. Rula Lenska was waiting in the wings...
At 1.30 Andrews takes over from another actor who looks suspiciously like Adrian Dunbar from Line of Duty.
2:27 They filmed on pension day?
Young people didn't exist in those days.
I wonder what Dennis is actually like in real, I did hear he could be a bit rude to people.
mistofoles dunno never met him, maybe he doesn’t always want fans being after him. Or his current wife makes him to be like that. She seems to be the leader in their household.
"I did hear" that you're not very bright
They couldn't make this programme now, can you just imagine tonight Steph Davies this is your life. You might notice tonight's audience is made up entirely of men, well they are in fact most of the men you've slept with unfortunately we couldn't find a studio big enough to fit the all in
i. so true.👍
Roxanne Chelsea Moor Who is Steph Davis?
Ahh the good old days of tv no woke anywhere
Id be devastated if my life was read out in public without my permission, off a guy who knows fuck all about me,
He doesn't look happy .
30 going on 48
Me
ok sweeney iam gonna count upto ten faces ringer queens pawn
Wonder why Tel never smoked on Minder, but obviously did in real life?
Today's woke crowd , would hit the roof , upon seeing the complete lack of diversity in the studio audience.
No they wouldn't, as this was filmed in 1978. If it was the same audience today you might have a point. But it was nearly 45 years ago.
I think you would find that they would say that that audience was hand picked especially. After all, black history month now states that our country was rebuilt by those from Africa and the West Indies so by the late 70’s there should have been millions in London.
Looks a right misery guts
He didn't like all the publicity. He just liked acting.
Seemed a bit frosty with his then wife mind
RiP Dennis... Can i have you're white Capri that Arthur sold you?
Legendary motor🚗😎✌️
Is that why they divorced lmao
Scruffy coppers
Nice outtake but I hate John Thaw.
why?
@@triv7252 Ignore the fucking rat!
How can you hate John Thaw one of the best Actors this County has ever had ,Shakespearean actor as well,so go back to Korea with your comments
Hate John thaw? Get yer trousers on your nicked! John thaw = legend
Twat
Eamonn Andrews what a narcissist he was, look at me-me-me Eamonn Andrews I have to be the centre of attention all the time.
