Died yesterday after a short illness. Always Arthur Daley and Flash Harry.
How he might like to be remembered:
How many of a certain age like to think (sometimes, of him):

RIP, though he'll never die whilst ITV4 is on the air.To err is human, but to make a real balls up takes a super computer.0

Arthur should have been posting on the various doping threads... "He must be on them stair rods"
I still enjoy Minder after all these years. It still makes me smile.“You may think that; I couldn’t possibly comment!”

I'll raise "a large V A T Dave" in memory. Euston Films produced some first rate TV drama's in their day.0

RIP "Arthur"
Gone off to the big "Minder" in the sky.Still thinking of something clever to say!0 -
If you can find an old film called Cottage to Let, you will be treated to a very young George Cole acting alongside Alastair Sim, his mentor.
I think it might even have John Mills in it as a baddie, but I digress.
Anyway... it is one of those films made during the war and is (inter alia) about spies and deception and the indomitable British spirit.
I found it a lovely film and George Cole is very good in it. For those who will always see him as A Daly Esquire, you may even see a hint of the wheeler-dealer as a young scalliwag.0 -
