yes it happened at loch ness i think,ian played the henpecked husband to diana dors in 1 film,he was as you stated a fine actor ive seen him in the eye of the needle,b movies to with tony britton

[steve56]

yes i know bill simpson was the original but ian was in the remake in the 90s they never made many episodes but i taped the series here/there wen it was on.

Ray is a VERY under-rated actor, and a decent ordinary bloke who hates all that luvvie bollocks.
I got a DVD called Births,Deaths and Marriages yesterday JUST because it had him in it, thats the magnitude of his talents, you KNOW it will be good as everything he has done is par excellence.......apart from his 'lost years' when he appeared in Minder

Scum is still one of his finest works, 25 years after it was made!

Arfur was the greatest invention on television, and for all the whippersnappers new to 'Minder' who grew up on 'Only Fools and Horses'....if you think 'Del-boy' is 'funny' imagine 100 times that and you are still not close to how funny Arfur Daley was

[steve56]

i was thinking david jason could have popped up in a minder i know fools/horses was bbc but it would have been interesting to see:minder meets delboy.

I fucking loved Minder, the first ever programme I was allowed to stay up past nine to watch, but when they brought that Gary whatsisname in it was hella lame, "This is Ray Daley, he's family" bollocks! Dennis Waterman was Terry and that was it! I have just finished collecting em on DVD and they are still great, I always wanted to be Terry, in the same way I wanted to be Han Solo, and not Luke Skywalker, cos Han was cool, and got the punani
