Leslie Grantham played the fictional role of Den Watts, or as he’s mostly known for his nickname of Dirty Den. Besides being the first landlord of The Queen Victoria Public House, he was also known for his complicated and stormy relationship with Angie Watts, his alcoholic wife. One of the most remembered scenes on the show was when he filed for divorce handing his wife the divorce papers after being married for 19 years. The episode was one of the most watched ones in Britain’s history, where over 30 million people watched the Christmas day episode in 1986.

His life took a dark turn when he did some jail time after he was convicted with murder. His character was actually killed twice throughout the show, something that can only really happen on soap television. Sadly Leslie has since passed away, and is sorely missed by his many fans, friends and relations.
