The first couple of series of Minder was as good as anything seen on TV in the seventies and early eighties.

He'll be selling dodgy halos now.

rip Arfur/'Arry/George - you were superb.

To show how much he was thought of back then I saw him in a play once a long time ago when the audience gave him a standing ovation when he entered the stage and before he could get his first line out.

Arthur Daley, one of the best British TV characters ever.
Been watching some of the classic first few series on ITV4 recently and it is still thoroughly enjoyable.
RIP George.

I really thought he was already dead.

Minder with Dennis Waterman was fun TV in it's day and obviously Arthur Daley was a memorable TV character before the days of satellite TV and when restrictions on TV violence was at their height. A shame they carried on with Gary Webster because those episodes were terrible.

RIP

One of my favourite episodes was where Arthur was doing jury service. The interaction between him and the other jurors was brilliant.

The one that used to make me chuckle was when he was having a power breakfast with a Jock gangster who would pour whisky on his cornflakes...

I would say all 7 Dennis Waterman series mate, it went a bit pants after that, but was still watchable just for George Cole/Arthur Daley

My favourite all time show, best episode has to be when Patrick Mower was in it as a bigomist, also stared Ray Winstone as Arnie the mechanic

RIP a true legend of TV

Yer right Monkey. Thought Dennis was only in about four but seven - yeah - I'll up it to all of them with Terry and Arfur and a couple of really outstanding series which raised the bar even further sandwiched in somewehere in that lot.

Have only just heard the news. Am genuinely gutted.
Another part of my youth has just disappeared.
Minder was truly one of a kind, I still watch it now even though is hasn’t aged well. In many ways the fact the show appears dated is partially due to how realistic the programme was. Minder was truly a snap shot of working class London in the late 70s/80s. A London before foreign exchange students and cappuccino bars took over.
Damn I miss the old days.
God rest your soul George - from one old Tooting boy to another.

Been watching old Madness films and documentaries and stuff about the Oi! Music scene last night and looking at the images it could be another city entirely but no it is the London of the late seventies.

So much change from then and so much fighting back then too. I'd almost forgotten how going to a gig was just as dangerous as going into the home end at other London football grounds.

Of course you are right Kermit. My memory is selective and it certainly wasn’t all better back then. I remember the trains being vandalised, phone boxes not working, etc. etc.
It’s just I guess if you compared most places in the UK to how they were 30+ years ago you would find a lot of change, however London has become almost unrecognisable and I guess I just miss it.
When home does not feel like home anymore then where the heck is?

Bloody hell they're dropping like flies!

Always enjoyed Minder and he played the part well.
