Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
The one thing everyone wanted to watch on Christmas Day 1985 was this special film-length Minder On the Orient Express. It was the end of Season 6 (of 10), and the show had never been more popular. It drew a star-studded cast that in turn drew audiences: Honor Blackman, Adam Faith, Ralph Bates and Amanda Pays feature prominently in a surprisingly complex story concerning millions in lost gangland money. Terry is given a pair of tickets for the Orient Express ("no, it's not a Chinese takeaway, Arthur") when he rescues Nikki South (Pays) from a mugging. So it is that the train sets off with Arthur having lied his way aboard, poor beleaguered DS Chisholm working with an Interpol Detective (Bates), several gang thugs led by Jimmy Crane (Faith, who doesn't sing!) and several gold diggers such as the flirtatious Helen (Blackman). An all-important paper envelope passes hands endlessly, while the action progresses into the realms of French farce as cabin doors rapidly open and close. A couple of explosions of fisticuffs seem to threaten the end of Croydon's finest second-hand car dealership, but all it'll take is a couple of "large VATs" to restore the Daley entrepreneurial spirit.--Paul Tonks

Synopsis
Terry has been given tickets for the Orient Express by a mysterious young woman, but Arthur needs Terry for protection, and Terry needs Arthur like a hole in the head. By devious means Arthur boards the train only to find Chisholm is aboard working with Interpol.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a diabolical liberty to NOT own this video ..., 31 Aug 2000
By A Customer
The first of only two feature-length 'Minder' episodes (the other being 'An Officer And A Car-salesman'), this is a must-have for all fans of that seminal 1980s classic that made 'Arthur Daley' a by-word for dodgy dealing, and introduced 'er indoors' to the Oxford English Dictionary.

After leaping to the defence of an attractive young woman, salt-of-the-earth Terry McCann is rewarded with a romantic journey for two. But instead of enjoying the warm female company of his club-manager girlfriend, Terry is, of course, stitched-up by loquacious, summons-dodging Arfur, who inveigles his way onto the world's most romantic train ... by taking, of course, diabolical liberties.

Paragon of Fulham (or is it 'Ammersmiff) law & order, and intending to cement Anglo-French and Interpol relations, 'Cheerful Charlie' Chisum also boards the Orient Express on his first venture outside his manor ... and England.

It'a all here: the missing cliffs of Dover, accosted by strange birds in the khazi, a hunt for a dead mobster's missing millions, international intrigue, Arsenal, and a large vodka & orange ... if you only ever own one 'Minder' video - Arfur & Terry larging it on the Oriental is THE one to have.
