George Cole RIP

It's not always- or even usually- the "great" actors who do work that endures. Did Richard Burton (to pick an actor of the same generation who is generally acknowledged to be "great") create any character who is likely to live as long in the memory and affection of the public as George Cole's Arthur Daley?

I watched Minder- and largely gave Fools and Horses a miss. I think Arthur and Terry are richer characters than
Del Boy and Rodney.
