I remember seeing Dennis Waterman in the 1961 BBC adaptation of the William books playing the title character and also featuring in a Children’s Film Foundation production called Go Kart Go.
RIP Dennis.
RIP Dennis.

Re: R.I.P Dennis Waterman
I'm not personally familiar with Dennis Waterman's work, but he was a household name, and despite being not hugely old when he died, he had a career stretching back decades. The one fact I knew most about him during my school/pre-Internet days was that he was the only celebrity I was aware of who had the same birthday as me!
