He was famous in the successful television series, “The Sweeney”, and “Minder” in 1970’s and 1980’s. The Sweeney was a police drama about the Sweeney (Sweeney Todd rhyming slang for The Flying Squad) policemen with guns. That was unusual in UK in 1970’s. He starred with John Thaw. It was a bit aggressive for someone my age. In Minder, he played Terry McCann, a bodyguard for a spiv. Played by George Cole. They even had a spin-off music hit, “What Are We Gonna Get for Her Indoors”. A slightly more humorous series, compared to The Sweeney.
Well that was British Television (Independant Channels), back in the day!
