Customer Reviews

Perfection5
A fitting tribute to the best TV programme of all-time. No actor will give a performance to equal Sir George Cole as loveable rogue Arthur Daley.
Every othet character from Terry the Minder, Dave the barman to cop clowns Chisholm AND Rycott feature throughout.
This is TV Perfection.

English telly at its Finest!5
I lived in London from 1981 until 1994 and fell madly in love with Minder. It was so refreshing to see TV that seemed, (to a native New Yorker), like real London street life. Unlike the junk I was used to seeing on US TV, such as street scenes of New York with no garbage, graffiti or anything that I was used to seeing walking down the streets of Manhattan. The old US TV was so predicable, in that, they always got the bad guy and/or they lived happily ever after and all that rubbish. I saw Minder as an outsider looking in, & I liked what I saw. The two main Characters are just perfect together. The writing was sharp and crisp. And of course, absolutely hilarious. All the sub-characters added interesting depth to the show. As I occasionally went into a Pub in the East End, sometimes I would expect to see Arthur standing by the Public Bar foot rail offering me a good deal on "a nice 'lil Rolex". Know wha' I mean? I was over the moon to see the complete series in a single box set. This set brings back great memories of London in the 80's for me. I look forward to many a night watching and laughing myself silly over this superb piece of London telly. Good on ya, for releasing this awesome slice of English Television. Cheers!

ONE OF THE BEST COMEDY DRAMAS OF A DECADE.5
Minder has to be an all time classic which was perfectly cast with the brilliant George Cole as dodgy but well meaning Arthur Daley. With Ex-boxer and offender Terry Macann played by Dennis Waterman and Glynn Edwards as Dave of the Winchester Club. Not forgetting bumbling cops Chisholm and Rycott who are foreverer trying to catch Arthur and out-do each other. This series ran for ten seasons from 1979 to 1994 with Ray Daley played by Gary Webster replacing Terry in the final two series. This was a classic mix of sharp scripts and comedy drama that set the pace for the 80's. George Cole was almost born for the part and became and still is an icon of the 80's. For me this show can go on and on and the format never becomes tired and is always a laugh. On this great value set we get four specials and one interview with George Cole though I still haven't found the disc that's on yet ?. All in all a great addition to any collection and also good value, get it before it's deleted as was the last issue after a short time !.
