Format:DVD
I bought this boxset for my husband expecting just the ten seperate series but found the last two 'bonus' discs actually contain five additional episodes including Minder on the Orient Express. For value for money this set can't be beaten. I hadn't intended watching much of this but listening to my husband's laughter I found myself getting drawn in. Yes as other reviewers, and my husband, have said, the Terry years are much stronger - I didn't appreciate this until watching them back to back. However, for my money one of the funniest episodes of the whole collection is in a 'Ray episode' involving the policeman Mr Morley, the car he bought from Arthur and the hidden drugs. If you don't watch this episode you are really missing out. Everybody mentions Chisolm and Ryecott but Morley was a star too and is well worth a look.

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 !.
