Loved Minder growing up as a kid,...the streetwise characters had a warmth and likeability,....along with the , great writing, the over all feel of the show had a down to earth gritty realism to it..... comedy dramas, don't come any better than this classic from the 70s and 80s.....
Totally agree with you Chris , i loved it as well growing up, still love watching it, So sad to hear Denis Waterman passing away on Sunday, 74 is too young, what a great actor R.I.P.
@@m.dairyfarmer7878 Was sad, but why oh why don't the channels never show Waterman's other TV roles like Stay Lucky with Jan Francis and On the Up?. Stay Lucky was (from what I can remember) a popular comedy/drama series and the two had lots of chemistry, but they never repeat it, well certainly not any of the freeview channels like ITV3/4, Drama, Yesterday, I've heard it's never shown on UKGold, why?. Waterman also appeared in a couple of dramas and one offs, one where he plays a soldier in I think Chicago, and another from the early 80s where he plays a footballer. Again, none of these ever get repeated. Also, George Cole was in a series in the mid 90s called An Independent Man, and also one called Roots to Europe. I can't remember ever seeing those repeated. All the channels do is repeat the same stuff over and over that they assume viewers love. Love Minder, fantastic series, but they need to give it a rest for awhile and show Waterman's and Cole's other roles.
When ever I want to see the streets of London how I remember them I watch minder the sweeny .I miss the 80s and the friends that were still with us back then.
Yeah well you certainly have come to the right place with Euston Films who also produced The Sweeney filmed entirely on location mainly in West London.
Three very good actors gone but they left us all these gems to watch and the times I grew up watching minder no doubt this is one of the greatest shows ever in English history you just couldn’t get any better than this show Terry Arthur Justin all in heaven now Thank you so much terry and Arthur for leaving these lovely episodes for us to enjoy,, Rest in peace to all of you,,,
R.I.P Guys you brought us classic tv over the years Mark Farmer Dennis Waterman and off course George Cole. The late late guys. Respect to all there family and friends we give all our condolences
My favourite Minder 'episode'..the late Mark Farmer RIP..effortlessly playing the 'Cockney wide-boy' to a tee.Good shots of Wembley Stadium & Brentford's old 'Griffin park'.
Justine was fucking brilliant. Proper 80s lad encapsulated. So sad he died so young. He was a very capable musician, played in a lot of SKA bands for years. Brilliant character actor too.... One of the best episodes this....
Not today my friend these boys were from Stepney that area Mile end going out to Basildon and Southend and that accent is Essex boy back in the day. Trust me there were hundreds of these chaps at West Ham back in the day.
I, only watch the Minder episodes with Terry in .It, was never the same when he left. The banter just wasn't there. I was born in London and new the banter.
Well said. Are you still in London,mate. I was born in S E London and moved just 11 miles in 1983 to this house on the very edfe of S E London and Kent. Minder was my favourite series of all time..
I hope Arthur is minding Terry in heaven 😉 WONDERFUL brilliant actors and characters still watching years later and still laughing thanks for the greatest con and rogue player of them all😆🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮
So shocked - I didn't know he had died till I read these comments just now. I watch Minder repeats all the time and I was just thinking last week how much more enjoyable the episodes are with Justin in. RIP Mark and thanks
It's march the 5th 2024.... and due to the UTTER GARBAGE on TV at this current decade I've decided to watch all the classics.... just done a ON THE BUSES.. and followed up with this minder episode... these shows are so much more comfortable watching and enjoyable than modern day TOSH! :)
This is awesome. I cannot believe I have never seen this episode. I had every DVD possible at one time until events meant I had to sell everything - Still, I never remember seeing this one. Thank you. Sub'd. 👍🏻
Excellent, haven't seem Minder in about 30 years and these things usually date/are never as good as you remember. Yet it's still better than most the shite on 2023 TV
For those Mark Farmer fans With Steve Beno Benson in his pocket, Justin was also in a Bold advert back in the day with Micheal Elphick? Also on UA-cam.
I was pleased to learn when they released Minder in a boxset they did the Dennis Waterman years separate from the Gary Webster years.. I couldn't take to watching Minder with Gary Webster even though I like George Cole a lot.. 33:41 Camel coats compulsory? 35:58 Nice van.
Of all the great characters, that graced minder, Mark Farmer was my favourite, always thought his character Justin, could of had his own series off the back of minder. RIP Mark Farmer
Great actors, Mark Farmer and George Cole. Great acting and great writing, wished they would show these episodes again on ITV, but the snow flake generation and the PC brigade will not have it. Welcome to the new world.
London was a completely different place. I was born in South London in 1971 and lived in Streatham and Brixton. These boys with that banter were Eat of the river even West Ham Barking Basildon way they were called knockers?
Just as I've forgotten how good Cornflakes taste, so I'd forgotten just how good Minder is. Haven't seen an episode for years but now will chase up as many as I can. Now there's only sliced bread to have a bash at from my past, but if it's as good as sex then I'm in for a real treat, provided the crust isn't too hard for me gums and it's not over - salted these days. ( Are you here for a bit on the side ? " I didn't know they'd moved it." )
almost spot on 7 minutes. I'll be impressed when somebody posts Arthur's reply when Terry says that the Scots were going to go to race relations. Arthurs reply was "Race relations? That's for Lucozades ain't it?" Now for some reason, that bit has been cut out.
Wish Mark Farmer was still going, he stayed in my memory because of Johnny Jarvis, wonder what he looks like now. I liked him on tv used to watch his shows.
A pity Mark Farmer never appeared in alot more episodes than he did as a more regular character instead of the odd episode. Ray Winstone as Arnie seemed to steal the part more. I wonder why the series Mark starred in with Matthew Kelly, Relative Strangers, has never been repeated?. I think it did get a repeat showing in October 1986, but that's about it. And then there's Stay Lucky with Waterman and On the Up, both were very popular series in the early 90s, but for some reason none of the channels show them.
Ohh. I went to the Holiday Inn ....on my Honeymoon .....Not Married now ....but lovely Hotel...Great Big sitting room ...more like a conference room ...Bedroom of Course ....& A Lovely Bathroom .....Years & years ago that was !!! Ohh & A Pop Star was across the Way ....they had a Party 🥳...the sound was good didn't really hear them ....but lots of party 🥳 things in the passage way . ..Ohh ,& they were at Breakfast ......Well I don't think it was a double ....looked like him to me ....But didn't go over & Talk to him or anything like that ......His time was his own you see ....XXX
6:50 Politically Correct editing... the original is Justine 'to stop the scotties flooding the sacred turf' Tel 'oh yeah they were going to go to race relations' Arthur 'race relations? that's for the lemonades'
Time to binge watch the incomparable Minder series again. Echoes of better times and common sanity.
Couldn't agree more
Better times? Bless ya mate 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Common sanity 😂 I love that
@@alexevansuk some of us were successful back then
Before the uk was destroyed by mass migration
RIP Mark Farmer, George Cole, Glynn Edwards and Dennis Waterman! Great series.
Absolute class brilliant brilliant brilliant I love it r.i.p Arthur and Terry and Justin 🙏

Yes but it is hard to choose as there was only fools and horses.? But your comments are spot on.
Mark Farmer was superb in Minder 👌👍
Never tire of watching these classic episodes, such great script writing and acting. RIP George and Mark.

2 of the greatest characters ever to grace our tv screens, brilliant to watch these episodes again
one of the best episodes of a classic tv show...full of one liners ....numero uno
Pizza off?
All three sadly gone now. Gawd I'm starting to feel old.
R.I.P Dennis Waterman a true legend x
ALL dead now in this episode?
Absolutely love this episode. I absolutely loved the couple of episodes Mark Farmer was in and this is my favourite.

Thank you so much terry and Arthur for leaving these lovely episodes for us to enjoy,,
Rest in peace to all of you,,,
Farmer was brilliant. Very much an 80s man
Absolutely a carbon copy ICF West ham man.
@@CARLIN4737 He was South East London: Millwall.
Often saw him at The Cold Blow..
Thats an Estuary Essex accent and they would normally end up at Upton Park back in 83/84. Fair enough if he ended up at Millwall.@@Isleofskye
@@CARLIN4737 You're right,my friend...
The Banter from Justin is Priceless
Nice one Tell
I had a mate, spitting image of farmer in the early eighties. west ham supporter from Essex. absolute ringer. great character actor farmer.

Always good when justin was in it brilliant proper cockney wide boy
We could do with some more of them today!

Totally agree. I think he was only in 4 or 5 episodes and was brilliant. Shame he didn't carry on in the Ray Daley era.
@@garethdavies2145 he was so young to. Only 53. He certainly had the gift of the gab.
I didn't know he was no longer with us. Bless him. I loved his character in Minder he was a perfect fit.
@@juliemarshall7913 He did a good comedy series with Matthew Kelly in an early Channel 4 show called "Relative Strangers"

You occasionally come across these motormouth kids, even today. Mark Farmer was spot on. RIP Mark

Fun Fact. Euston Films wrote this for Waterman and Waterman wanted Denholm Elliott to play Arthur but luckily the producers didnt agree.
I hope Arthur is minding Terry in heaven 😉 WONDERFUL brilliant actors and characters still watching years later and still laughing thanks for the greatest con and rogue player of them all😆🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮
sadly mark passed away today aged just 53. he'll be reunited with his numero uno Arthur daily. rip

I had know idea he had passed good actor RIP...
Loved mark farmer thought he was a right geezer back in the day. Typical West ham casual type.

Your off your nut mate.

This is the first appearance of Justin James ( Mark Farmer) he only appeared in 5 episodes the last being The Wrong Goodbye in 1989.

Brentford for back in the day who dont know?
For those Mark Farmer fans With Steve Beno Benson in his pocket, Justin was also in a Bold advert back in the day with Micheal Elphick? Also on UA-cam.
Mark shouldv had his own series with this charactor. Justin...called the wide boy.....born to the role!
Relative Strangers a year or two later with Mathew Kelly.
Definately see him jumping out the van as one of The Knockers?
Justin's was a quality character. RIP Mark Farmer & George Cole.
All gone now along with London?
I`m glad ITV4 are Airing Minder, its great tv.
Gbh of the ear holes. What a great series minder was. RIP mark, George, Dennis, Glynn.
I was pleased to learn when they released Minder in a boxset they did the Dennis Waterman years separate from the Gary Webster years.. I couldn't take to watching Minder with Gary Webster even though I like George Cole a lot.. 33:41 Camel coats compulsory? 35:58 Nice van.
Excellent rendition of I belong to Glasgow
brilliant....love all these uploads
A total thorough unmitigated rogue and that’s why I admire ya. Lolol. 😂
Mark also played Cathy Hargreaves' brother in GRANGE HILL.
Sad to think that all 3 are now dead. George, Dennis and Mark😔.
Justin was a funny character. It's a shame that Mark Farmer wasn't a more regular cast member.
Ray Winstone? Theres so many?
I like this on so many levels. Just sad that the actors have all passed away
Of all the great characters, that graced minder, Mark Farmer was my favourite, always thought his character Justin, could of had his own series off the back of minder.
RIP Mark Farmer
Wish I grew up in this era. Propper characters
My favourite is the one when Arthur fakes his death absolutely brilliant👌
Remember Chisholm's face?
Knew it was a con but couldn't prove anything.
Old Arthur had 'Charlie' Chisholm half demented.
Great episode
R.I.P Mark Farmer. Time to have a drink in that astral bar with Arthur. x
RIP you all now!! Genius series, up there if not better than OFAH!! Good Times!!
fine actors as they were only as good as the writting which was superb..
Thanks for the upload - Brilliant & great quality! Have been looking for Mark Farmer stuff - used to think he was gorgeous lol! :)

Good acting, good script not like the woke crap on the box these days
Great actors, Mark Farmer and George Cole.
Great acting and great writing, wished they would show these episodes again on ITV, but the snow flake generation and the PC brigade will not have it.
Welcome to the new world.
Youl be glad to know its on itv4 everyday now
Many thanks for extracting the commercial break bits.

6:50 Politically Correct editing... the original is
Justine 'to stop the scotties flooding the sacred turf'
Tel 'oh yeah they were going to go to race relations'
Arthur 'race relations? that's for the lemonades'
I remember the line as 'lucozades' but i'm sure it has been edited out of any repeats by now
"Lucozades"....
ALWAYS LIKED JUSTIN FROM MINDER
I’m sure the restaurant they were in was San Carlo on Highgate hill
Sadly it’s gone .
7:00 they cut the line 'race relations? thats for the lemonades aint it'.... pc gorn mad...
Spades for those not about in the 80s
Good to see a familar face from another popular tv show back then, Londons Burning Officer Tate 😊
Minute 11.55 holiday inn swiss cottage is now the marriot regents park, king henrys road swiss cottage , And you thought arthur was dodgy
Theres at least 12 minutes missing from this episode. Each episode was 47/48 minutes long?
The nit about "Race Relations for Lucozades" from Arthur has been cut,for sure.
spades yeah. been cut to ribbons this episode.@@Isleofskye
why are they both in American motors.
The Holiday Inn Swiss Cottage sounded really glamarous in the 80s?
