Drama Connections Minder George Cole Dennis Waterman Glynn Edwards Pat Malahide Tony Hoare Interview

A very rare documentary from the team behind Comedy Connections. A great insight into Minder with many interesting views with the cast and the producers.

Simply one of the best TV shows period. ❤️

[@bigjohn1717]

I still watch this today.... ❤❤❤❤

[@k20aa]

Best TV show ever made .............................................

[@Tony_Teacake]

Best programme ever made. R.I.P. Dennis & George

[@ChrisPriceCars]

Totally agree, it was brilliant when first broadcast and it still is! The Sweeney is also pretty timeless and to a certain extent, The Professionals is too, but Minder is by far my all time favourite. I know loads of people my age who've never watched it and some have never even heard of it! I can never get my head around that if you grew up in the 80s!

[@martinnevey7258]

Loved minder part of my childhood and youth....r.i.p. to all the great actors we have lost who gave us so much pleasure...Glynn..Dennis...George...rycott...thanks for the memories, there were many...

[@paullynton-green6570]

My favourite programme ever.happy days.

[@ChrisPriceCars]

@@paullynton-green6570 Yes definitely a great reminder of a much happier time

[@ShaneC27]

The only TV show to rival Only Fools And Horses for comedy and character/actor chemistry

[@JD-eq4dp]

Personally I think Minder was far superior than Only Fools....

[@scottandrewbrass1931]

Personally I don't think they should be compared as one was a sitcom and the other was a comedy drama.

[@ChrisPriceCars]

@@JD-eq4dp I remember reading an article by Catlin Moran saying the leads of OFAH were only really fit to play extras in the Winchester Club!! Very harsh as I loved OFAH when first broadcast but strangely I don't find it very watchable now. Whereas Minder is as amazing now as it was back in the day, even though I know every line of every episode! It would definitely be my Mastermind specialist subject.

[@johncahalane7327]

Best line in the series was "Very worried Terry, 'ad a visit last night from Chisholm and his Druid " still makes me giggle..

[@andrewhopkin8264]

Amazing series rip george dennis and the rest ❤

[@ianbarnett4511]

BRILLIANT and Best show ever. And BRILLIANT actors. You don't get that today in anyway. Barney Glasgow. 😎

[@ChrisPriceCars]

Absolutely, the best show of all time. We won't ever see anything like this again, well only on ITV4!

[@joe-vl3nd]

Great show

[@terrymccan5891]

best programs on UK tv in the 80's

[@ChrisPriceCars]

Absolutely, Minder was by far the best programme on TV in the 80s and it still is now! I love the repeats on ITV4 and even better still, the DVDs which have not been edited by the PC brigade!

[@adamhughes4442]

Minder without Terry was not the same.

[@paullynton-green6570]

Terry the minder.nobody could fill his shoes.

[@johnrider5701]

Agreed there was never any chemistry between Arthur and Ray and they were supposed to be related, The series should have ended with Terry getting married on camera and Arthur's retirement,

[@knownpleasures]

Ray was great as well. He was a nephew of Arthur

[@ChrisPriceCars]

The way I look at it, the Ray eps gave us another 3 years of being able to watch Arthur and several of the Ray era scripts were actually very good - The Roof of All Evil springs to mind! I know a few people who've never seen any of the Ray eps but I think they're missing out - they are definitely worth a watch. Any ep of Minder is leagues ahead of anything currently on the box. Admittedly, I've never been able to stomach the Shane Richie remake, that should never have been called Minder. Minder without George Cole is like a Jaguar without an internal combustion engine! How GC wasn't Knighted is beyond me! I appreciate his mentor Alistair Sim turned one down but I'm very sure GC would have accepted one.

[@johnrider5701]

Sweeney and minder my favorite ITV shows back in the days when they actually made quality drama s

[@ChrisPriceCars]

Absolutely, The Professionals was pretty good too but Minder is my all time favourite by far.

[@Paul-bd4dm]

Like everyone else I was brought up with minder ,R.I.P to Dennis and George

[@mickharrison9004]

Minder on the orient express was amazingly funny ,what a story with Chisholm ,terry ,Arthur on the train 😂

[@aliorr9356]

Ok I'll go watch minder on the Orient express again 🙄

[@ChrisPriceCars]

Yes it was brilliant, I still vividly remember watching it on first broadcast, it was the only show on TV that kept me away from my then new Commodore 64! Some people don't rate that episode but it has countless funny moments - it's a shame it wasn't shown at cinemas as originally planned.

[@mickharrison9004]

@@ChrisPriceCars very well said freind ,all the way 👍

[@edwardanderson2717]

“What you having then Arrthur!!” 😂

[@MickBell-yu2qn]

Chisolm with the inflatable so funny

[@ChrisPriceCars]

Yes that was a great scene, Patrick Malahide wasn't prewarned. Neither was George Cole when being chased on the rugby pitch in The Beer Hunter!

[@clivewhalley4008]

Minder lost it’s way when Dennis left and Thames Television lost it’s franchise in 1991. Euston films being part of Thames had it’s budget completely cut due to Thames becoming an independent production company

[@CARLIN4737]

Channel 4?

[@aliorr9356]

It was on itv

[@VillageIdiot85]

who knows what gems the B..b c recorded but never aired..this tv show was not of their ilk back in its day.

[@saltspringrailway3683]

"Whot we have 'ere Terence is a good documentary". Tony Hoare chatted some more in his local club which appeared in a talk show... kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2rJq2erZ5mMnqs

[@tomsurrey2252]

Ray didn't work so, I don't watch any episodes', after No 7! they should have had George sweeny play terry's part!

[@michaelfearon1279]
