The Guardian reports the death of the Minder scriptwriter who was responsible for some of my favourite episodes including Back In Good Old England, All Mod Cons and Goodbye Sailor, as well as Minder On The Orient Express. He also created Pie In The Sky and wrote for Shoestring, Lovejoy and Midsomer Murders. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2024/jan/26/andrew-payne-obituaryRIP. |

He'd done the podcast just recently. Sad to read this. RIP |

Whenever I saw his name credited as writer on various TV series I always knew it was going to be a good episode.
RIP Andrew

Sad news, regular viewers will know that I am a huge MOTOE fan. Back in Good Old England and Goodbye Sailor are masterpieces too. RIP

Sad news. Aside from Minder, somehow I seem not to have seen much that he was responsible for - Pulaski being the sole exception, I think. I should address that. RIP.

Started to listen to the podcast last night.
It was from about this time two years ago, Andrew was saying he was 72 then and was telling Paul, the host, that he was going off to visit his 103 year old mother.

He also created Pie In The Sky and wrote for Shoestring, Lovejoy and Midsomer Murders. The recent thread about what episodes you'd show to someone new to Minder to give them an idea what it's all about - any of those three would do just fine. All Mod Cons in particular is a favourite for the way it adroitly juggles so many different sub-plots: Terry's new job, Arthur's bathroom fittings, Michael Robbins's lovenest and the Toyah sponsored illegal eviction. Great work by the late Mr Payne. |

He wrote pretty much my favorite episode of Minder 'Get Daley' one that scores very high with forum members. I've yet to hear the podcast but glad he gave his time to us fans to speak about his time with Minder.
RIP
