Art & Hue presents 1970s Cops http://artandhue.com/cops Stylish pop art illustrations of iconic Seventies police detectives, available in three sizes and 25 colour options, including Dennis Waterman. Fast talking, thinking, and driving, 1970s cops leapt into action at a moment’s notice, catching bad guys unawares and foiling plots with skidding cars and a cocky swagger. Younger viewers watching repeats of “Minder” or “The Sweeney” might find it hard to comprehend just how big a star Dennis Waterman was in the 1970s and into the 80s. It’s a testament to the actor’s easy-going manner and charismatic on-screen persona that he was one of the most watched and liked actors of the time, despite a womble-ears hairstyle which may well have later inspired Linda La Hughes. Starting his career as a child actor in 1960, Waterman had many roles before “The Sweeney” including working alongsideChristopher Lee in the Hammer horror film “Scars of Dracula” in 1970. Dennis’ credits include police dramas across the years including “New Scotland Yard” in 1973, “Special Branch” in 1974, and the former Detective Sergeant Gerry Standing in the long-running series “New Tricks”. Dennis Waterman’s cult status was echoed by the surreal lampooning of the actor by David Walliams in “Little Britain”. The comedy sketches highlighted the fact that Dennis did indeed write the theme tune and/or sing the theme tune, for several of the shows he appeared in, including “Minder”, “New Tricks”, “Stay Lucky”, and “On The Up”, the sitcom that co-starred Carry-On legend Joan Sims. artandhue.com/cops #TheSweeney #JohnThaw #DennisWaterman #Minder #Seventies #Cops #CultTV #JackRegan #GeorgeCarter #ReganAndCarter #interiorinspo #interiors123 #interiors #homedecor #thehappynow #paradiseofminimal #nothingisordinary #Retro #writethethemetune #writethethemetunesingthethemetune https://www.instagram.com/p/BpmRofrganl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=m7w0s8xx9v65
