Peter Denyer

Who was Peter Denyer?

Peter John Denyer was an English actor who was perhaps best remembered for playing Dennis Dunstable in London Weekend Television's Please Sir!, and its spin off series The Fenn Street Gang, taking on the role of a teenager when already into his 20s.

Peter attended Erith Grammar School during the sixties and was known for his kind nature and addiction to performing. He had many admirers at that time, but in particular, Sylvia Bailey was probably known as his greatest admirer. That relationship never flourished.

Another semi-regular role, again for LWT, was as one half of a gay couple in Agony. He also appeared in Dixon of Dock Green, Moody and Pegg, Never Mind the Quality Feel the Width, Dear John and the TV soap opera Emmerdale Farm. Later in his career he moved into producing, directing and writing pantomime.

Denyer died on the 21st of September 2009 in Cheltenham, aged 62; he never married.
