Episode 14 – Dennis Waterman Tribute

The Minder Podcast

The Minder Podcast returns with the only way possible, a tribute to the one and only Dennis Waterman.

In this feature length episode we cover as much as possible about Dennis’ life and career.

From humble beginnings, raised on a council estate by two parents who only liked each other when they went to bed, Dennis Waterman became an incredible star actor with a still inimitable presence and legacy.

Almost all of his acting credits are discussed, with specific homage to Minder connections. Then there is a very eventful personal life to contend with.

Coupled with exclusive clips, this is a heartfelt revelation of the man behind Terry McCann and much more besides.

We look at Dennis’ musical career as well as theatre work and personal anecdotes and clips.

Aspects of his career which have been lost to time are also brought up in great detail – look out for Night Train For Inverness, The Root of all Evil, The World Cup: A Captain’s Tale, Stay Lucky, Circle of Deceit, plus The Sweeney and the inevitable Minder associations and details.

Actors mentioned in detail include George Cole, John Thaw, Jan Francis, Ann Lynn, Roy Kinnear, Karl Howman, Denholm Elliott, Tim Healy, Peter Childs, Patrick Malahide, Jenna Russell, Rula Lenska and Amanda Redman. Plus writers Jill Arlon, Leon Griffiths, Alan Plater and Tony Hoare.
