@@thursoberwick1948 we pretend that didnt exist. I cant even stomach the ray daley years.

[@thursoberwick1948]

@@bensmithkent22 I actually really like the Ray episodes. I think Webster had big boots to fill but at least created an original character instead of copying Waterman. Most people don't even know the Shane Ritchie incarnation exists so they can't blank it out. I have watched all of them though (and all the George Cole episodes.)

RIP Terry, Arthur and Dave.

Minder had a warmth and realism that is sadly lacking in modern tv....miss those wonderful times

'Minder' was one of the best British shows. Here in Australia, seemingly everyone loved 'Terry' and 'Arthur'. Long live the comedy/drama. Only the Brits can produce such extraordinary productions. AND Terry/Dennis Waterman RIP. Aussies are unlikely to see your like again.

Speaking as someone who was only out of work for about 3 weeks in the 80's - but out of work for 3 weeks nonetheless - those old 80's Job Centres still give me a chill down my spine to this day.

yeah they wasnt a pleasant stop on the way to the boozer.

I got my 40 "sovs" a week in 1990/91 after 20 years of continuous work from 1971 I got a redundancy on 31/12/89 and decided I wanted 17 months off but they insisted that I try and find work:) Literally,worked every day since and now I'm 70 in May:)

[@richardkent2310]

I remember this scene like its yesterday only thing me and my dad really had common he used to work nights every Thursday he would come home from a night shift we would tape minder and watch it together because on Wednesday night Dallas and the young ones used to be on bbc and I used to stop late on a school night with my mum to watch it hehe nice memories

[@pkelly5149]

1:34. Just love the scheming/ devious look on George Cole's face when Terry starts enquiring about the job vacancy and it looks like he might be about to lose him (and the way G.C. slowly approaches into the shot from behind Terry). You can tell the cogs are whirring. "No you ain't my son, you're staying with me" is what G.C. is saying to himself. Absolute top-notch acting. He makes it appear so effortless and natural. For these 8 secs. or so he doesn't say anything, hardly moves and hardly does anything, yet he is the one that's really acting, not D.W. and the lady. Rest In Peace Mr Cole. You thoroughly deserve it for all the joy and laughter you brought

[@MrKevinpscott]

love it . the little gesture of charity by pretending to give terry a helping hand by placing his hand inside his jacket pocket to reach his wallet, then with cat like reflexes pull his hand away and catches terry off guard by changing the subject of a prospect job vacancy on the board.

[@electricleg207]

Cole was known as an actors actor - other actor s wanted work with him as he was so professional. He would learn everybody's lines not just his own

[@292Nigel]

Jobcentres today are very different from how they were back in the 1980s. The contrast is stunning. It's a trip down memory lane to be reminded of how it was. They're more about policing claimants these days. Their role has changed beyond all recognition.

Arthur is the classic "spiv". Poor Terry - the way he says he has a "season ticket to the casualty ward". I laughed out loud at that line. Every line and gesture was brilliant in this marvelous program. Even the way Arthur says the words "civilians" and even more disdain for the word "workers" made me laugh. And his hollow phony grab for his wallet - and his faster retraction was gold - typical Arthur.

[@dizmop]

Who is Terry McAnn? an ex Boxer in his early 40s, single, and working as an errand boy for a two-bit scam merchant, he seems pretty smart and intelligent, he's also streetwise but he lacks confidence and perhaps self-esteem, I'm imagining something traumatic happened to him as a youngster. Obviously, he's a fictional TV character but I was just dissecting him and I wonder what would've happened to the character as he got older......

[@Georgieastra]

Terry- like Dennis - would have been 31when the show started in 1979. The early Eighties were a time of very high unemployment when an ex con like Terry would have been bottom of the list for even low paid jobs.

@@Georgieastra 31!! yeah you're right, that , makes absolute sense now, I watched a few more and he eventually got married and moved to Australia so things worked out for him in the end, what a great show
