PeterDENYERActor and panto writer Peter Denyer, best known for playing the lovable but dopey Dennis Dunstable in the TV sitcom Please Sir!, has died at the age of 62.
He was born on 20 August 1947 in Dartford, Kent, but lived in Gloucestershire for the last 30 years of his life.
Mr Denyer’s first professional acting role was at the age of 19 at the Playhouse in Sheffield.
He is best remembered for playing teenage schoolboy Dennis Dunstable in Please Sir! even though he was in his 20s when he was cast.
Please Sir! was based around a fictional South London comprehensive school and particularly the class 5C taught by Mr Hedges, played by John Alderton. Deryck Guyler was the school's long-suffering caretaker.
The series, written by John Esmonde and Bob Larbey (the team behind The Good Life), was first transmitted on 11th November 1968 and ran for four series consisting of a total of 53 episodes.
Please Sir! ended in 1972, but Mr Denyer also appeared in a spin-off series calls The Fenn Street Gang which followed the class of 5C out into the world of work. This series ended in 1973.
Another semi-regular role for Mr Denyer, again for LWT, was as one half of a gay couple in Agony which starred Maureen Lipman.
Mr Denyer also appeared in shows such as Dixon of Dock Green, Dear John, Emmerdale, On The Up and The Bill, before moving away from acting and into writing, directing and producing pantomimes.

Peter first set step on our stage as a very young lad at “Erith Playhouse Theatre”, before going on to be Professional leading on to his brilliant status as “DENNIS DUNSTABLE❗️“ in the very much loved and watched “Please Sir” and “The Fenn Street Gang”.Everyone at Erith Playhouse, Erith High Street, Kent, were very proud of Peter as he moved his way up the ladder in his Professional world. Sadly missed.

I still remember being the fresh faced full of life 14 year old 'Fenn Street' fan, and how lovely you always were. Only wish I'd had an opportunity to meet you again in adulthood, just to say thank you. Because what meant the world at the time has left a lifelong glow in my heart.
