IMHO he is one of the worst actors I have ever seen. Chronically overacts in Eastenders

He's a one trick pony. Check out all the films he has been in. All about thugs and gangs and violence.

I've never seen him in anything, but I read the printed version of the Radio Times interview and thought he came across as incredibly arrogant and full of himself. In the print version he says that Adam Woodyatt and Steve McFadden aren't actors as they've only ever played one role - which may be true but it's a bit disrespectful to talk about his work-mates in that way.
E finks he's norwty but e's a propah melt. |

I like Danny Dyer on Eastenders but in this he just annoyed me. |

He seems to have turned into a caricature of himself. I wonder if he walks around with that silly walk and talks like that to everyone off camera.

Exactly. He almost strutted when he walked and was too "cor blimey" for my liking. I know he came from the East End but even so....

Do you know how many people were charged with that hazy crime during the early Thatcher years? It was a usual trick to remove both picketers and flying picketers. Basically another part of the right-wing attack on LAWFUL striking. Which has risen again since 2008. The way that Tory scum interfered in industrial action was anything but lawful.
If you're too young to remember, it's probably best to say nothing. If you're one of those whiny middle-class people the BBC gets negative soundbites from in train stations during strikes, there's no use talking to you about industrial action. Tweedy was convicted of assault and given community service and a fine; she was acquitted on the racial aspect. Tomlinson got 2 years for a campaign of intimidation plus he has been a member of the National Front. Not really similar, is it? |

Surprised that they did not hold this back a few days and show it after this edition of Who Do You Think You Are with a bit of promotion. Quote:
HISTORY DOCUMENTARY: Henry VIII's Enforcer: The Rise and Fall of Thomas Cromwell
On: BBC 4 (Freeview) Date: Sunday 20th November 2016 (Already shown) Time: 21:00 to 22:00 (1 hour long) Thomas Cromwell has a reputation as one of the most notorious thugs ever to hold power in England.

Cromwell emerges as a pioneering and principled statesman who ignited a religious and parliamentary revolution which laid the foundations for the modern British state.

Sorry I just think Danny Dyer gives geezers a bad name, that or he is a geezers geezer.
I've not known many cockneys in my time, and surely he is not your typical London boy? Is he? |

I think his walk was more down to the combination of his 14-year-old's skinny jeans and squeezing his increasingly bulky girth into that tight bomber jacket. I must admit that I couldn't help thinking of this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJCmGoWk0pI
![]() I really did like this film, although some people didn't. Straightheads, with Gillian Anderson |

All joking aside, Danny made for great viewing and he got quite emotional as the fact sunk in that he had a legitimate claim to the thrown.
Journalism at it's best.

Shame they spoilt it with the publicity beforehand. Would have been an excellent reveal.

It was an interesting story but Danny did my head in at times with the strutting and the over use of rhyming slang. Loved his posh cousin, 'I've let the drawbridge down for you' super dahling!!! bet he loved his new cousin. Waiting for Danny to say 'I'll bring the missus round to look at the gaff soon'

I'd like to see the evolutionary biologist's version of Who Do You Think You Are?, where they unroll a scroll in front of some numbskull, to reveal a blade of grass.
"No your not related to a plantagenet, your related to a plant!". "It's all too much, I can't take it in". |

Thats not true though. Royals tended to have very big familes as so the 4th daughter might marry someone although still nobility not as high as the royals they then have several kids etc I think most people whos families have been in Britain for more than two generations can probably find they have royal connections if you can find the documents going back far enough.

I don't watch EE anymore so have not seen Danny 'in part'. From last night's programme would I be right in thinking that he is type cast?
![]() His walk is extraordinary. I think his legs are too short for his torso and the affectation of having at least 6 inches between the torso and arms just looks daft, IMHO. |

It's all a bit deceptive, we're probably all related to royalty if you go back far enough. Danny Dyer went back to his 15x grandfather - what they didn't say is that Danny had over 32,000 15x great grandfathers. If each of those only had an average of 2 children they would have each had 32,000 15x great granchildren. And, combined, Danny's 15x grand fathers would have had over 32 million offspring like Danny.
Going back to his 22x great grandfather, Edward III, the numbers become ridiculous. The really tricky bit is finding all the documents to prove the lineage. |

When we went to a Cats Does Countdown taping, Dyer was the only one (other than Jimmy Carr) to acknowledge the audience and say "hello" and "bye" and what not. Everyone else walked on, did their bit and left without so much as a glance.

Loved his little boy when he said 'clear off' more a Peggy moment than Mick Carter though.
