UCOS legend Gerry Standing solves the Met’s unsolved crimes alongside and , under the watchful eye of his boss .

Having been at UCOS the longest, Gerry has his own way of doing things and sometimes seems stuck in the 70s, although he is well-respected by his team: he’s straight talking, totally un-PC and gets the job done, no matter what.

This series opens with an explosive two-parter in which Gerry is forced to come face to face with the ghosts of his past. Things start to get nasty when one of London’s biggest crime families steps in to halt Gerry’s investigation and he becomes embroiled in a dangerous game of cat and mouse across London as he fights to clear his name.

Dennis began his career in the late fifties, when he was still at school. One of his early roles included playing the title role in the 1962 series William. Later in the sixties he appeared in a movie version of Up the Junction and in sci-fi series Journey to the Unknown.

Two TV roles in particular made him a familiar face on television, namely hard guy George Carter in The Sweeney (1975-1978), and cheerful lad Terry McCann in Minder (1979-1989). Both roles were as half of a double-act - with John Thaw's DI Jack Reagan in The Sweeney, and George Cole's Arthur Daley in Minder.

In 1986, he starred in The Life and Loves of a She Devil, a dark adaptation of Fay Weldon's novel. He played Bobbo, the adulterous husband of Ruth, played by Julie T. Wallace.

After Minder, Dennis starred in two series set on similar ground. In drama Stay Lucky (1989) he played wide-boy Thomas Glynn, alongside Leslie Ash. A year later, he played East End millionaire Tony Carpenter in sitcom On the Up, which also starred Sam Kelly and Joan Sims. Dennis sang the closing theme.

To add to his diverse portfolio, Dennis has also appeared in The Miller's Tale alongside James Nesbitt and Billie Piper and played sports commentator Frank Costello in three-part 鲍鱼tv drama Moses Jones.
