    George Cole was a tremendous actor, because to make it look so effortless, and to create characters so likeable and recognisable, is one of the hardest calls of all. He also spanned the stage/screen/TV crossover very well. RIP to this very talented guy.

    Sad news, a fantastic actor and by all accounts a very decent sort. Minder was pure quality and Arthur was the jewel in the crown.

    RIP.

    Absolutely gutted to hear this earlier. I know 90 is a great age, but he always came across as one of the nice guys, who played a huge part of my young through to old, TV viewing years. Just wanted to know he was always around and well.

    You gave us all years of entertainment George and have left us with so many laughs, smiles & happy memories. That's a truly wonderful legacy.

    Rest in Peace.

    Another legend gone, it's sad news despite a very fine innings.

    "You look happy Mr Chisholm....have they bought back hanging?"

    The original first few series of Minder were excellent. The show was created by Euston Films to give Dennis Waterman something to do once the Sweeney had finished, however it also proved to be a remarkable vehicle for the veteran Ealing Studio star George Cole to resurrect his career and he ended up stealing the show with the wonderful creation of Arthur Daley. The show went on too long and Cole admitted this and said he was often a little embarrassed by some of the latter episodes and used to look up to the heavens as it came on the telly and apologise to his great mentor Alistair Sim.
    The Green Man, starring Cole, Sim and Terry-Thomas is one of may favourites of all time.

    RIP

    One of the great comedy actors who learnt from the master Sims. Worth looking up his Desert Island Discs appearance, a very cultured selection.

    A very talented but under-rated actor.Played all parts brilliantly.
    RIP George and my condolences to his family.

    Slight aside, but not only did I love Minder, it is still to this day my favourite theme tune to a non-sports programme

    A touch of class. George made it look like he wasn't acting such was his talent. The warmth he brought to his roles made him so likeable and no matter how dodgy the things he was getting into as Aurther Daley I always rooted for him. For me he is up there with David Jason as one of the very best of British character actors. RIP

    RIP George Cole. Wasn't just the older generations who loved the show. I'm 34 and can say I have the Minder DVD boxset at home.

    Loved the phrases that he'd come up with such as "a nice little earner" .Timeless.
