David Royle

Loved this programme, David really good actor an essential part of this drama. Googled cos always expected to see him in other things, such an obvious talent. Condolences to his family, a Husband and Dad to be proud of.

Only just found out about David Royals passing at the young age of 56. Sad news indeed for someone so young. Always think oy late Father who read all the Reginald Hill's books and then the series on TV. Brilliant series of which David Royal played the part of Sgt Wield so well. Brought a welcome understated part to the role of which was a top series. One of the very best on TV. Loved the humour of Warren Clarke as well . Great acting

I started to watch this series he was in Dalziel & Pascoe. I never watch it till coming across it in 2023 and found it a great TV detective series. I really enjoy all that were in it. Found out later that David Royle had pass so early in life and was so sad to hear of this, and I really enjoyed his character that he played. Was also sad to hear of Warren Clarke passing as well.

Very sorry to hear of David Royle's passing. Watched Dalziel & Pascoe the first time round, and am currently watching reruns on ITV3. It was only recently I found out that Warren Clarke died in 2014, and it's sad to hear that another cast member passed only a few years later. Best wishes to both families.

Great actor brought strength to the series D&P with the character he portrayed, made it believable. Sad to hear of his passing. Currently watching D&P again. Regards to David's family who understandably must be so proud.

Ik wist niet dat hij overleden was, zo hij zijn rol speelde als Wield vond ik hem eigenlijk beter als Pascoe. Altijd aanwezig maar ook altijd bescheiden, hij was de detective zoals ik ze graag zie zijn ogen zijden veel meer dan zijn mond, ik vind het verschrikkelijk dat hij zo vroeg overleden is had graag veel meer van hem gezien en mis hem zeer nu . rust zacht lieve fijne man, het nadeel van ouder worden is dat je leest dat iemand gestorven is die ik nu erg mis en zeer waardeerde als acteur.

I am so sorry for even having to write something so late after the passing of David, I lost my parents within weeks of each other and it's taken me 5 years to come out of the darkness, I have missed so much, lost so much, and to just read today the passing of David breaks my heart. When Gus was a baby I had my mum make a baby quilt for him which I sent over from Canada. David was so grateful in receiving it. I hope the family are doing well, and know that I am so deeply sorry for the loss of...

I watched as Sgt Wield and looked him up, only to be totally shocked to learn of his illness and death so young. He was a wonderful actor and added much to the series. My condolences to his family may he rest in peace

About 30 or so years ago, I interviewed David for a support worker role with people with learning disabilities. He was recruited as he had great values and empathy. When I offered him the job, he mentioned he was trying to break into acting, and could he have the occasional day or week off. I said it would be ok, we´d sort something. Anyway, he didn´t stay on the job too long, as he got some days here and there, then a week, and finally he had to resign as he was getting pulled more and more...
