Very sad to report the loss of a great character from so many productions, including The Sweeney, Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, Minder etc. William Simons, who played Maurice Pope in The Sweeney, the Gamekeeper in Auf Wiedersehen, Pet series 2 & Alf Ventress in Heartbeat has passed away at the age of 79. RIP William. BBC NEWS |

Very sad to read about his passing. He was a well liked bloke from what I've heard.
RIP William.

Yes I remember him in an episode of the Sweeney, and he was good in Heartbeat as Ventriss, which wasn't too bad in its early days at the time when Nick Berry was in it.

Sad news. What a guy though - so many roles, including A Bit of a Do, Rumpole and the Darling Buds of May, in addition to those mentioned above.
RIP

RIP William Simons, sounds like he had a prolific career and a lot more besides Alf Ventress in Hearbeat, great as Pope in The Sweeney and the Gamekeeper in the S2 Auf Pet episode.
