David Royle was so good as "Wieldy" in Dalziel & Pascoe. I have watched D&P for a long time. May he rest in peace.

Very sad to learn of David´s passing .... I´ve been watching all the episodes of Dalziel and Pascoe and really enjoyed the character development over the show. From the other comments Mr. Royle was an amazing man. May he rest in peace.

I actually thought he played the part very well. He was not treated well by Dalziel. Dalziel at times was not good to anyone.

He brought Wieldy to life and was a firm favourite. So sad that he left us so early.
