Great episode... heading to a run down part of town to sort out that bloke who starts fires. The fight scene towards the end was interesting also.

Another solid episode I would agree. I thought the fight scene at the end worked and seeing the amount of trouble caused in the scene was good also

Top episode, I have to say - I always thought this episode was where the series started to get more 80s rather than 70s style (I don't know why) but moves back to its origins where Terry actually gets in the ring again - top episode! Yeah, I noticed that. I thought the flash boxing shorts and the boxing arena, the way they removed all the classical elegant decoration and had that black board backdrop to the house Arthur buys, feels very focused like the show was tied of the street from the 70s. Don't think much about what's going on out there and feels cosy most of the time and im sure there's alot more.

Nooo. I did watch him in the world worst movie Keith Lemon: The Film. He played Keith's public relations/image agent, coaching him to clean his act because Keith Lemon was popular in that movie. I was watching the movies to watch the cameo appearances but he was one of "those" main characters who was helping Keith Lemon and I can't believe I watched that because he was a star in that movie. FORGET AUSTIN POWERS, he's great in Keith Lemon: The Film and saves the movie alot.

Glynn Edwards was happy at his time of life with his hobby of boating I think. He had been acting for many,many years. Yeah? i think being an owner of a member exclusive bar with Arthur Daley asking for his help time and time again in the most dire situation, I'm sure he deserves his retirement from off screen.

The final fight was great and where it leads too. The bus slowing down and where it ends up. Too comical.

The jury service scene towards the end was really funny. A well suited contrast to what Terry had to endure.

I know this seem opposite to what's been said around here but as much as I really loved the episode and what it's trying to explain, I actually thought the idea of the car being the cause of Daley's misfortune was beyond my belief. Daley is mature enough to understand that he was taking a flash vehicle like the Stingray and leaving it anywhere would attract loads of attention. Now a days, people react to people having flash vehicles when it's not locked away in some garage, even a few years ago, someone dented one of those really flash exotic supercars and it was caught on hidden car, so I find it really hard to believe Daley would leave it around. Maybe that's the joke and why it is funny considering Terry noticed why Daley went on the de-tour in the first place. It was extremely silly in my opinion considering that back then, even a block of flash shiny gold brick around laying around, it would have been stolen. I think even the character knew better. That's why I found it so hard to believe. Not saying that it could happen. Maybe Daley had too much to drink and didn't think it would happen to him but still... something as big as that. Really hard to believe in my opinion.
... but having said that... especially considering that George Cole did say that he never liked the character in his autobiography and I'm pointing that out also in this case for this episode about my reaction to his character. That's make me wonder why the writers and production crew went to such lengths to create, in my opinion such a ridiculous scene and the idea behind it and back to the original street pub feel that Minder is known for which really placed Daley out of his comfort zone. At one point, he even says "I've never been a grand down in my life!". I was rather shocked about that also!
I did laugh and get relieved with the ending but I was more relieved but that scared me! I'm not being sarcastic but I don't want to ever be in Arthur Daley's shoes if that happened! Thankfully all the other episodes don't have that one scene like that. Really makes me wonder!

I thought it was interesting and made sense. With Terry just relaxing in the house to maybe play pool to pass the time. It felt like the kind of building I wanted to be in and feels a bit cheeky that I'm accessed the luxury around (since Dream House) is a bit of a cheek to think that I have until that someone around the house really needs some babysitting. I thought it made sense.

I thought Micky's escape was funny. I was like "What was going on there?" until I realized what was going on. I agree that the entire episode was funny. A bit let down towards the end but with the jackets taking the rest of the show. I thought that was great.

A nice episode, Arthur Daley helping someone out also released from the Scrubs. Nice.

"You're 18 now, you can drink, watch porno and join the army and kill someone" then the following line after that, which makes the scene even more great.

Such an interesting episode, the ending was grand to watch, seeing how Terry and his own friend were casually driving those tractors.

I liked the episode, so much mid 90s culture, the business of cars being sold, the friends Ray befriend to help him and the police. I thought the police line up was ridiculously funny. Edit: Let me add it in here, it's just too funny, seeing the camera blur but seeing Arthur Daley's jacket and hat, as the police put him there in the middle so he could be easily made out as they brief the person to try to identify him, then they bought Arthur in to identify the actual guy like it worth the pay back which led to a more humorous scene.

I was expecting alot at the end but I was let down by it. Tried to keep the humour with Ray stealing the giant book and not sure if I can laugh at Arthur not giving back the money towards the end.

I had time to watch the entire episode. Since it's the last episode, I think there wasn't actually much or anything new. The police locked away the entire cast like they couldn't perform ever again. Happened so quickly. They got the new nick for the episode just to bore us.
Was this Glynn Edwards' last performance? I see he has never appeared on television or film ever since this episode!

When Arthur first met café owner Madeleine ... From the 1956 film 'It's a Wonderful World', coming soon to 'Not Minder'. Actress Mylène Demongeot was known as Mylène Nicole back then. IMDB link: www.imdb.com/title/tt0049374/Oh, I wondered what she meant in the cafe. Clever! I liked the episode because it was set in France.

I thought it was a refreshing take on the casino culture back then. Really made me laugh how Arthur Daley was really getting into the game towards the end and I thought the ending was fitting. Was it me or did Arthur Daley not get caught out towards the end when he was spotted? I thought that was funny how he got away with not being caught or something with what he had.

I thought the room full of policemen was more of a filler if anything. I think it's clear the real humour was the guys trying to hunt down the young man to be 'captured' towards the end was were the real humour lies. I would have given this episode a 3 out of 5 but I thought it caught me off guard that Arthur Daley burnt this sausage rolls. A man his age over-cooking food, like he never tired cooking before in this lifetime. (I try not to laugh)

I was wondering why the intro was completely different. Yeah, I thought the ending was amazing. Nice scene at the Royal Cafe,

I thought the episode had a nice mix, going from one place to another. The ending was great. They made the fire chief give out the kind of news Arthur Daley wanted to hear.

RIP to cilla indeed. I saw her on that dating show Surprise Surprise when I was growing up since my mother used to tune it to watch that. I never knew her as a singer in the 60s. RIP, surely he had a great life.

RIP. I thought Notting Hill was a nice movie, I thought she portrayed the character in the movie well. I never knew in that cartoon Pond Life, she voiced one of the main characters. I thought that cartoon was outrageously funny. It's a cartoon about that lady who is portrayed in an extremely odd way who is getting into typical teenage girl problems. Emma Chambers voiced her best friend in the cartoon. I was like "Was that her?!" when I just found that out. She plays Belle, that blonde lady after a first few minutes.
I was watching it, I was a kid at the time and like any other kid, who wanted to watch cartoons, I didn't know about how Channel 4 got the cartoons aimmed for the mature audience like Pond Life, I thought all cartoons were aimmed for kids, so I was watching this and I did understand it because I thought it was wild around town and it was for someone out there. It was a good series and I thought Emma made this worth while.
