About this deal

Despite ongoing financial woes, a hit-making empire was taking shape. Waterman’s relationship with Proto soured, as did Hazell Dean’s; she felt they’d doomed her SAW-produced Heart First album with poor promotion, and as it turned out Proto folded in 1986. Though his singing style always owed more to pub karaoke than the West End stage, the number from Minder (which he co-wrote) gave him a No 3 hit with I Could Be So Good For You in 1980. I was tempted to add Edward Jancarz to my list...a very classy rider for Wimbledon. Shame he didn't ride regularly in Britain until quite late in his career. I recall Oxford attempting to sign Sverre Harrfeldt in 1972 but, personally, I feel that was Dave Lanning hyping things up! Some great names there and I always thought that Ron How didn't get the true recognition that he truly deserved. It was a US No.1 a year later. By Christmas 1987 Astley was being marketed as an old-school crooner covering Nat King Cole’s classic When I Fall In Love.

Waterman played a slightly naive but game young detective, learning from his guv’nor in the Metropolitan Police’s Flying Squad. Following the news of his death, fellow TV personalities shared tributes to the actor, praising him for his career that began when he was a child and spanned six decades I managed to teach Dennis to do the Times crossword,’ he said. ‘In return, he taught me how to swear in public.’ Born in New Malden, Waterman worked as a toolmaker's apprentice after leaving school.

Education:

He played Neville Finch in Fair Exchange, a comedy about a boy spending the holidays with an American family.

Their turbulent love affair provoked endless headlines about violent break-ups and slanging matches after they met on the set of Minder, the comedy-drama that cemented Waterman’s lovable hard-man image, in 1981. In 1968 he was found guilty of all charges at the Old Bailey and sentenced to four years in prison; Avril Priston got six months.His mother took little notice of him, leaving his oldest sister Joy to bring him up. Most neighbours assumed she was his mum, he said. In September Waterman faced further charges under the Coinage Act of possessing dies and crucibles for purposes of forgery.
