This Memory is looking a little short on nostalgia! Have you got anything you could add?

I used to love Minder and had a huge crush on Dennis Waterman who played Terry McCann. Terry was Arthur Daley's minder and was always getting Arthur out of the trouble he found himself in. Great family entertainment.

    It was great for the time, but looks severely dated, rather forced and formulaic in terms of every episode seemed to follow the same stages. But the humour between Arthur & Terry was, and still is, a delight; and Sgt Chisholm and Dave at the Winchester were great supports

    i loved the earlier series, with terry. Didn't care so much for the later ones with arthur's nephew.

    I loved Minder. It was a classic. It was one of the best programmes ever made with a selection of household names and newcomers. I thought it was more comical when Ray Daley was brought in. I have all the series and specials on DVD.

    I grew to hate it because of it's cheap gags about the Welsh- Sgt.Chisholm's sidekick Jones was always being made to look silly, and more than one episode had various 'comedy Welshmen' in it portrayed in a very unflattering light. By strange coincidence, current TV show 'New Tricks' - which ALSO stars Dennis Waterman- has also been derogatory about Welsh people as well. Wonder how much he's responsible?!

    I remember watching this on a Monday nights at 9:00 pm. I was about 13, and remember Terry had loads of girls all galloping around his flat with no knickers on & topless. Funny how ITV cut all this out when they repeated it on ITV4.

    A classic series! The 'Little Britain'-baiting theme tune (or Feem Toon, if you prefer), written and sung by Waterman, Arthur's Jaguars, Terry's Ford Capris, a fight between Terry and various villains in practically every episode, Dave in the Winchester Club ("On the slate!"), dodgy deals, Arthur's lock-up, 'Er Indoors, Sgt Chisholm, Rycott, and Jones. George Cole & Dennis Waterman were surely THE double act of the early '80s.

Do you remember these?
