George Cole dead - aged 90 (Arthur Daley)

George Cole dead - aged 90 (Arthur Daley)

Famous actor George Cole, who is best known for playing the dodgy character Arthur Daley in Minder, has died at the grand old age 90.

George Cole played the wheeling dealing Cockney Arfur Daley for 16 years, between 1979 and 1994.

A very sad loss for me because I love Minder and always watch the repeats.

RIP to the fella. I love the TV show "Minder". If they appear on the box as a repeat somewhere then I always take time out to watch them.

Arthur Daley had a good innings I must admit.
I am sad to see him leave us and its always a pleasure to watch him in Minder.
