Loved Minder back in the 1980's.

I saw him back 1980 on a tour called something like the 'Friend of Tour" ...

Went with a mate ... although it was Sheena Easton we really went to see

Ah shame, that's sad. New Tricks is a KZN family fav. RIP

 

[Mr Putdown]

Great actor who will no doubt be missed by many.

Unlike his views - and actions - on violence towards women.

A leading part in a never to be forgotten programme The Sweeney broadcast at midweek yet would pull in 12,13,14 + million viewers,people would not actually go out because The Sweeney was on that night.

Minder remains one of my all time favourite series.
The Terry and Arthur partnership was just brilliant and very funny.

And ours. We watch it on Drama frequently.

74 is no age.

Loves the early episodes of Minder, especially for the banter - some of the dialogue and badinage was superb - and the way that Terry and Arfur always eluded the constantly irascible Sgt Chisholm; every time he thought he'd got them "bang to rights", they got way with whatever scam or misdemeanour they were involved in.

With the later series, though, the comedy replaced the drama, and the story-lines became silly.

 

[Boys 9d]

Don't forget his part in the TV film "The World Cup, A Captain's Tale". The story of West Auckland winning the Thomas Lipton Trophy (considered by some to be the First World Cup).

D.I. Reagan just got his wingman back, RIP Dennis.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Minder remains one of my all time favourite series.
The Terry and Arthur partnership was just brilliant and very funny.

Agree. I loved this program when I was growing up.

RIP

 

[METALMICKY]

Rightfully lauded for his performances in The Sweeney and Minder which were classic. But I also recall him being in an excellent BBC drama called ' The Life and Loves of a She Devil ' which was filmed at the Belle Toute lighthouse near eastbourne.
