[@ShaneC27]

Arthur Daley can rightly take his place alongside Del Boy and Basil Fawlty as icons of British sitcom

[@knownpleasures]

[@daveben3573]

Cultured, classy and a gent who made the art of acting look ridiculously easy. RIP George.

[@donnyjay9046]

The pairing of Waterman, and Cole in Minder was gold. You couldn’t have had a better symbiosis.

[@andrewaajohnson7584]

[@mikejflynn5545]

A petition to get George Cole Knighted is really needed

[@maxduncan4473]

RIP Arthur Daley. I just watched the entire first series of Minder a few weeks ago. Over a dozen hours of dodgy dealing. My condolences go out to 'er indoors.

[@danielwalker3535]

1979 to 1994 was a great time on this planet along with minder on every week absolute class,but people have changed for the worst in this day and age every thing sempt so special in the 70s 80s

[@TheLeedsAppreciationSociety]

Brilliant, George Cole will always be Arthur Daley. No-one else could do that part justice.

[@GEricG]

A wonderful actor and a gentleman. He will be missed.

[@MyRonnierocket]

Totally agree with you Shane, George Cole, and David Jason are absolute British comedians of the highest quality.

[@firefighterno1]

One of the Greatest British Actors of all time, about time George Cole was made a Knight. George we love you !

[@Bustygirl-dz1wi]

loved him in minder what a great character

[@wutang6020]

86 & 87 were my favourite years I wish I was still back there in that era

[@barrymontgomery408]

Nice to see Roy castle on aspel and company talk show. Very funny man in carry on up the Khyber as a soldier gone but never forgotten. George Cole is funny as well they're both great actors. I have seen Dr terrors house of horrors in which Roy castle appears as a songwriter and musician in aforementioned film.

[@bennyjazzful]

WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! From a mad keen 76yo Aussie fan.

[@MrShelmerdine]

Its amazing the number of actors that appeared in Minder ,it's harder to think of someone who hasn't been in an episode

[@Isleofskye]

Ray Winstone, Billy Connolly, Derek Jacobi , Nicky Henson, Lisa Goddard , Alfred Burke , Lionel Jeffereries , Jackie Collins , Alfred Marks , George Baker , Simon Cadell , Mike Reid , George Sewell , Rula Lenska , Jimmy Nail , Mel Smith , Gorden Kaye it just goes on and on :)

[@jimmymalone9139]

GEORGE BRILLIANT A GREAT MAN STILL WATCHING HIM . MAY HE REST IN PEACE. COTTAGE TO RENT BRILIANT

[@davidneal1406]

Not seen this clip before.God bless George and Roy,both great entertainers and are sadly missed.

[@DFWM091]

George Cole is a true legend and great actor, Minder was 1 of his greatest roles he made the show his own and a true what a hit it was they don't have much talent these days i think only but a few! :) and chat shows like Aspel and Co were true chat shows these days they are just cheap tat! :)

[@alberttatlock5237]

Roy Castle legendy multitalented instrumentalists, Singer, Actor, comic

[@gtrman9706]

He was a lovely man and actor. R.I.P. my son !

[@markant9534]

Roy Castle was good here, knowing all this old English culture makes a more mature interview than the ones we have now, both men seem at ease with their backgrounds.

[@tonynesbit9673]

My hero.

[@chrisevans5259]

Loved Minder growing up in the 1980s, and the dodgy dealings of Arthur Daly and his underpaid minder Terry . brilliantly written and terrific character acting made this such a hit and gave the country a lift during the Thatcher years.....British comedy/ drama at it best.

[@irenekent4335]

Great actor and a pleasure to listen to

[@nottheaveragecabbage784]

Best show ever

[@sodthong]

Legend of TV, none bigger...

[@kevm4035]

George Cole a true legend

[@OldMrGrace]

I agree. Why George has not been knighted is beyond me. If anyone deserves a knighthood it is him. Lets get a petition going.

[@marcludford591]

I liked Roy castle such a interesting man

[@OldMrGrace]

He was at the height of his fame back then. I agree with all those who say he should be knighted. It's long overdue and he's 88 now. Maybe we should get a petition going?

[@LeeJohn70]

Well done Dennis, George Cole was a Great Guy, how he was never Sir George Cole I do not know, to me he is Sir George Cole. A wonderful man and actor. The 2 of you in Minder was Great such a great partnership. Rest in Peace Mr Cole

[@alberttatlock5237]

I'm not aware of the huge amount of charity work, Free services and after dinner speeches he gave or his work changed the course of acting for the better of the industry. The kind of things that one needs to do to have their name put forward for a knighthood. I think as far as charity work and doing good for the benefit of others, Roy Castle towers over George Cole, but he wasn't knighted

[@languageoffootball]

Albert Tatlock as if. All sorts of wrong-uns have and still do get Knighthoods. George Cole was one of a kind.

[@poot1258]

An icon and a legend. RIP George.

[@PillSharks]

The good old days!

[@rajnirvan3336]

RIP George Cole you will always be a legend

[@vantheman12welshman66]

Two greats

[@non-contactfootball4983]

Love how posh he is, great actor!

[@sutapasbhattacharya9471]

He actually came from a working class London background [the illegitimate offspring of a hotel manager and a 16 year old maid - immediately put up for adoption] and left school around 14. I seem to recall that he got elocution from his mentor Alastair Sim.

[@MrHairyNeck]

This is rare. Thanks.

[@IndependentGeorge76]

what a gent

[@zeebad3668]

He worked with Dennis in an episode of the Sweeney.

[@oibal60]

#ClassAct Loved watching #Minder

[@Menditman2014]

George Cole and Dennis Waterman also worked together before Monday in an episode of the Sweeney.

[@michaellawrence3503]

Class act

[@kelvinmarshall9108]

A legend ..RIP...

[@freemindthinkerezrapound5071]

Him upstairs has the best of company with him

[@AFancyHippo]

Roy Castle! George classic too.

[@mc152938]

Only the voice I can recognise.

[@christophermccannon1242]

Great actor

[@CK1223]

thank u

[@richardclarke376]

when's the last time you saw a class act like him interviewed on national TV?

[@mark1968]

That was 25 years ago. He must he getting on now. Great actor .

[@1betterthan]

Wow wot a great story teller, R.I.P

[@paularnold213]

an icon

[@bennyjazzful]

I agree 100%

[@Richard_K1630]

FRIGHT looks good movie to check out. It starred, along with Dennis and George, Honor Blackman and Susan George.

[@prestcoldandy910]

love arthur daley ! put it on the slate dave

[@anthony342]

arthur daley ! put it on the slate dave

[@leeneedleman2728]

Sounds posh still a legend

[@michaelscales5996]

I always thought Del Boy and Rodney were inferior to Arthur and Terry.Like comparing a Reliant Robin to a Jaguar I have most of the Minder series on video,when I need a pick me up,I always watch one.

[@Isleofskye]

I'm from near Peckham in that era and never took to Del Boy and Co at all even though I love David Jason. Minder was a Masterclass in Acting and Wriying...

[@setphaserstostun4626]

Kettles(watches) were the best thing to steal as they were in demand, if it was stolen they'd say it was kettle (hot). The name stuck.

[@dannyclub09]

@mark1968 He is 87 I think and if you want to see what he is like now there's a recent interview of him, but he's practically the same! He never changes.

[@markant9534]

Would Daley make the big time and would Del Boy become a millionaire? Very similar questions and themes, we found the answer to one of those questions.

[@97channel]

Haha, I love that butchered rendition of the Minder feme choon as George Cole walks on. Les Dawson couldn't have bettered that. Did someone have the sheet music upside down, or what?

[@digitalmediafan]

97channel wasn't that bad, just a faster tempo

[@ZXC5000]

Come on the powers that be- "Sir George Cole" - Please

[@derekgardiner3867]

arthur is part of the fambo

[@imspartacusnoimspartacus4731]

Oh dear George was a bit rattled at the start wasn’t he a bit of a spoiler by Aspel.

[@johnwilson1536]

really

[@Isleofskye]

Yes, really..

[@stuarth43]

funnu innit, neither of the interviewees never learnt dress etiquette, sox should always be darker than the trousers

[@jimmymalone9139]

GEORGE LOOKS LIKE BRANDO
