Minder
Facts
Minder was created by the writer Leon Griffiths.
The series was first broadcast in October 1979 and spanned a very long and
impressive 15 years, finally coming to an end in March 1994. A totally
classic series. It featured three main stars in this time, Terry McCann
played by Dennis Waterman, Ray Daley played by Gary Webster and the infamous
Arthur Daley played by the legendary George Cole.
This site divides the whole series up
into how we feel it is best remembered.
During the 1970s and 1980s
The
Terry McCann Years is the original series that featured Dennis Waterman
as Arthur's original hard man Minder Terry McCann. In 1991 this series was followed
by The
Ray Daley Years that featured Gary Webster as Arthur's nephew Ray Daley
in the 1990s.

Many people were sorry to see the end of 'Minder'
after having many years of enjoyable viewing and sharing in the adventures
of Arthur Daley, Terry McCann and nephew Ray Daley. Much of Minder's
appeal was no doubt due to its common theme and believability coupled with
an excellent cast and crew.
Minder has been shown all over the world (popular in
both Australia, Canada and even Germany). Episodes from both the Dennis Waterman
series and Gary Webster series are shown occasionally on UK satellite television
(in recent years on UK GOLD, MEN & MOTORS and ITV4).
Unfortunately, the series is not repeated as much as we would like it
to be and certain episodes seem to be edited where objectionable material
might be shown.
