Dennis Waterman

Yeah.

now that whole scene when they're basically in the sort of servants quarters with the wisecrack and paddy that's his name reading his magazine and just being a wise bit of a wise ass there milling about just being a bit of a fuss pop blah blah blah Perry milling about as well and then getting down there to you know grub up it really reminded me of on the up with obviously with Dennis Waterman so obviously in that there was the sort of servants quarters but often the Dennis Waterman character Tony Tony Carpenter would would eat with them in the servants quarters and again totally unintentional not related whatsoever but But the whole dynamic of the various characters in that little setting just reminded me of that.

I'm a big fan of On The Up.

I think it's a very underrated 80s, 90s sitcom.

you still keeping up your 100% record of heterosexuality? 100% record of heterosexuality.

It's not sounding like it.

Only a man confident in his heterosexuality could admit the magnificence of Dennis Waterman running.

Fair enough.

... and his fangs.

Oh look, there's, there's Dennis Waterman.

I recognize him off the telly."

Yeah.

So at the, at the sort of b- beyond Dracula's castle, you've got these three young people kind of at the center of the story.

I don't know why I keep thinking these are going to be Blu-ray debuts.

Directed by Peter Collinson, The Italian Job, and starring Susie Kendall, Bird with a Crystal Primage, Dennis Waterman, Adrian Posta, and Maureen Lipman, Eris Polly wants nothing to do with the wealthy life of her family enjoys, preferring to live in a small flat at Clapham Junction and work on the factory floor.

She soon makes friends and finds a boyfriend, but comes to discover that her romantic ideals of working class life do not match reality.

So it's from 1968, swinging 60 kind of movie.

Character from the Sweeney played by Derek Waterman.

Dennis Waterman.

Dennis, yeah.

So...

Yeah, I g- it's funny, isn't it? I can't think of anything.

Or, or I've never met him, but I remember someone who interviewed, um, Dennis Waterman-

Yeah

... off of, um, lots of dramas, including The Sweeney.

I wanted to look at Waterman.

What is Waterman doing? Dennis Waterman? Yeah.

He's dead.

No, he's not.

Is he? Is Dennis Waterman dead? Of course he is.

I didn't know that.

Fucking hell.

Play track three." And the barman trusted him and played track three.

And it was the theme tune from Minder, which kicked in just as Dennis Waterman, who'd been outside, walked into the pub.
