Arthur's world was mainly populated by petty crooks, fellow minders, dropouts, "tea leaves", "fences" and those happy to quickly turn over dodgy goods, usually (but not always) without violence.

Arthur refers to his wife, who never appeared, as "'Er indoors", the implication being that she is a fierce and formidable woman. He is appointed Arthur's "minder" and proves well able to handle the job, although he is also keen to "get into tie-wearing activities". This 34-disc special edition brings together all 10 series of Minder, complete and uncut as originally broadcast, with a collection of special features celebrating the success of one of Britain’s most popular and enduring television classics. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.Another aspect of the series is also that it rekindles a sense of nostalgia about London in the 1980s and 90s plus very effectively stereotypes police officers of that era too. Although subplots were not found in all of the episodes, they were found in most and usually consisted of one of Arthur's dodgy deals, Terry's minding jobs and/or favours done for friends and in a few instances involved the police tackling particular cases. In the latter part of Series 3, Arthur has changed over to a silver Mercedes 280E and in Series 4 he drives a Portland beige Daimler Sovereign 4.

George cole who plays the part of Arthur Daly is astoundingly brilliant and acts his part as if it came naturally to him.

Indeed, it is Terry's romantic interests who are far less impressed with Arthur's hold on Terry and frequently suggest that he should break free from Arthur and start making his own path in life (often as a precursor to a deeper relationship).

George Cole was perfection as the lovable rogue Arthur with excellent support from Waterman, the policemen and of course behind the bar, Dave. Whether you're looking for a specific series / season, or are after a complete Minder box set or collection then we're here to help!There would have been more chance of hell freezing over than anyone other than Dennis Waterman doing the theme tune. Most of Arthur's schemes fail in the end, owing to his greed, but he does occasionally have minor victories and puts one over on the law or more serious criminals. Other promotions included advertisements on taxi receipts, a social networking campaign and branded beer mats, all designed to attract the young male audience Channel 5 was targeting. The first seven series starred Dennis Waterman as Terry McCann, an honest and likeable bodyguard ( minder in London slang) and George Cole as Arthur Daley, an ambitious, but highly unscrupulous importer/exporter, wholesaler, used-car salesman and purveyor of anything else from which there was money to be made, legally or not.

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. Although initially developed to focus on Terry's character, as the series progressed, the focus shifted to feature Terry and Arthur more evenly, with more screen time allotted to Arthur and his dealings.The dialogue is less sharp as the Gary Webster years(1991-94) come into play, but the final season of Dennis Waterman had noticably lost some, if not all of it's usual spark. Dave is a childhood friend, part owner (with Arthur) and bar manager of the local, members-only Winchester Club.
