What a beautiful arris it is too.. and its one of the best laugh out loud moments when Arthur realises he's stood next to Debbie in her birthday suit, artistic poses or not

Space 1999 and UFO for me... if you can, check out the restored Blu-Ray Space 1999, especially the first series. It might have dated, but it still stands up well against the CGI world we live in today...

The KLF were never my cup of tea... I was/am still into the Orb... which is why the KLF long player below sits more comfortably with me and my musical taste

The scene where you see Arthur's car, with dual carriageway and the sign post saying "London /Croydon (A22)" I think was at Godstone, Surrey. I used to have a customer just around the corner from there. I think your right about the location... it looks like somewhere between Godstone and the Caterham by-pass. Its very nearly on my current manor but despite travelling along the A22 on a regular basis, there has never been anything in the clip to give the exact location away...

Out of idle curiosity, given the number of scrips which have come to light, did we ever get to the bottom of what Arthur's pre-dubbed explanation of "PHATI"?
Personal Health And Treatment Indemnity wasn't it?
Yep, that's what the dubbed voice says Barry, but watch Arthur's lips...

Just been watching this episode on ITV4 whilst having my evening nosebag and, given recent events, despite the sight of a melancholic Arthur in the hospital brought a lump to my throat, I'd forgotten what a fantastic episode this was...

Now that there Freddie Baker, he was one nasty looking villain! Shame he wasn't used more often, especially as he and Terry obviously had some previous...

This episode just has to have one of the best running gags... I'll say no more than flared jeans! Absolutely priceless! "Don't flare up"!!!

It has to be one of the top 5 comical exchanges from the Terry McCann years... and I've used it several times in real life too, just substituting entrepreneur with my current job title

It always surprises me that this episode isn't amongst the fans fav's... as richb and arnie both say, some of the banter is classic Minder and this exchange between Arthur and Tc Tac in the Winchester is just priceless: Tic Tac: "Hello Arthur, hows tricks?" Arthur: "No idea Tic-Tac, I'm an entrepreneur, not a member of the magic circle..."
I do agree with jno about the lack of continuity between this and the next episode though... but continuity was never one of Minder's strong points (like the different locations for the Winchester, the Car Lot and the Lock Up for instance) but I've never let them be something to get hung up over...
