The Phenomenon That Was Minder

4/5 ( ratings)

With an audience of countless millions in more than 80
countries around the world, the Thames Television series Minder was one
of Britain's top television programmes of the 1980s. The show ran for 15
years and 108 episodes, and is still gaining new fans as it is released
on video and DVD.Conceived by veteran script-writer Leon Griffiths as
a crime show with a sprinkling of humour, the razor-sharp scripts, crisp
direction and on-screen chemistry between George Cole as Arthur Daley
and Dennis Waterman as Terry
saw the humour gradually overtake the crime. With the added appeal to
the female audience of Dennis Waterman as the minder, the programme
became a feel-good icon, and turned such expressions as "a nice little
earner" and "'er indoors" into national catch-phrases.What made the
programme tick? Who were the people involved? Who played whom in a
particular episode? The answers are all here in Brian Hawkins'
entertaining and comprehensive look at The Phenomenon that was
Minder.Praise for The Phenomenon that was Minder:
"The only guide
to Minder you'll ever need." -- George Cole
"Hugely
entertaining and informative -- the essential Minder companion." --
