Dodgy car dealer Arthur Daley (George Cole) specialises in moving shonky merchandise to unsuspecting punters. To protect him from customers with a grievance or the long arm of the law, he hires jailbird Terry McCann (Dennis Waterman) as his Minder. McCann, an ex-boxer, has decided to go straight, but with “Arfur’s” shady deals resulting in dissatisfied punters, Terry has his work cut out for him.

Running 15 years with a staggering 108 episodes, Minder became one of Thames most successful series of the 80’s, screening in over 70 countries. Blending crime with cockney humour, the chemistry between the colourful characters played by Dennis Waterman (fresh from The Sweeney) and veteran actor George Cole was first rate, set against a backdrop of modern London.

Umbrella Entertainment presents the complete Fifth Series of Minder, all 13 episodes complete and uncut with rare original broadcast ad caps.

Great nostalgia that also holds up well with amusing patter and simplistic story lines. Everyone having a great time, including the viewer. Interesting to see the bit players who've gone on to big careers, and of course Arfur and Tel are as comfy as old slippers.
