The legendary George Cole interviewed by on Aspel & Company 1st February 1986. The episode also featured the legendary Roy Castle. More at www.minder.org
RIP Arthur Daley. I just watched the entire first series of Minder a few weeks ago. Over a dozen hours of dodgy dealing. My condolences go out to 'er indoors.
1979 to 1994 was a great time on this planet along with minder on every week absolute class,but people have changed for the worst in this day and age every thing sempt so special in the 70s 80s
Nice to see Roy castle on aspel and company talk show. Very funny man in carry on up the Khyber as a soldier gone but never forgotten. George Cole is funny as well they're both great actors. I have seen Dr terrors house of horrors in which Roy castle appears as a songwriter and musician in aforementioned film.
Roy castles yorkshire accent is brilliant... George Cole's Arthur Daley up there with the best...used to love it when he had to run, Arthur, Arthur.....thank you itv 3....I didn't know George Cole had a second batch of kids later in life..... Roy castle was always breakin world records,hold on he presented the TV show record breakers haha....
Ray Winstone, Billy Connolly, Derek Jacobi , Nicky Henson, Lisa Goddard , Alfred Burke , Lionel Jeffereries , Jackie Collins , Alfred Marks , George Baker , Simon Cadell , Mike Reid , George Sewell , Rula Lenska , Jimmy Nail , Mel Smith , Gorden Kaye it just goes on and on :)
George Cole is a true legend and great actor, Minder was 1 of his greatest roles he made the show his own and a true what a hit it was they don't have much talent these days i think only but a few! :) and chat shows like Aspel and Co were true chat shows these days they are just cheap tat! :)
Well done Dennis, George Cole was a Great Guy, how he was never Sir George Cole I do not know, to me he is Sir George Cole. A wonderful man and actor. The 2 of you in Minder was Great such a great partnership. Rest in Peace Mr Cole
I'm not aware of the huge amount of charity work, Free services and after dinner speeches he gave or his work changed the course of acting for the better of the industry. The kind of things that one needs to do to have their name put forward for a knighthood. I think as far as charity work and doing good for the benefit of others, Roy Castle towers over George Cole, but he wasn't knighted
Loved Minder growing up in the 1980s, and the dodgy dealings of Arthur Daly and his underpaid minder Terry . brilliantly written and terrific character acting made this such a hit and gave the country a lift during the Thatcher years.....British comedy/ drama at it best.
He actually came from a working class London background [the illegitimate offspring of a hotel manager and a 16 year old maid - immediately put up for adoption] and left school around 14. I seem to recall that he got elocution from his mentor Alastair Sim.

mr entertainer roy castle rip great interview from both of them
He was at the height of his fame back then. I agree with all those who say he should be knighted. It's long overdue and he's 88 now. Maybe we should get a petition going?
@mark1968 He is 87 I think and if you want to see what he is like now there's a recent interview of him, but he's practically the same! He never changes.
I always thought Del Boy and Rodney were inferior to Arthur and Terry.Like comparing a Reliant Robin to a Jaguar I have most of the Minder series on video,when I need a pick me up,I always watch one.
I'm from near Peckham in that era and never took to Del Boy and Co at all even though I love David Jason. Minder was a Masterclass in Acting and Wriying...
Haha, I love that butchered rendition of the Minder feme choon as George Cole walks on. Les Dawson couldn't have bettered that. Did someone have the sheet music upside down, or what?
George Cole was one of our greatest!
The late great George Cole. Arthur and Terry now reunited. God bless them both ❤️🙏
Now Dennis Waterman has joined George Cole in minder heaven RIP 🪦
The pairing of Waterman, and Cole in Minder was gold. You couldn’t have had a better symbiosis.
Two greats of British tv, sadly no longer with us. r.i.p George Cole, and Roy Castle.
both sadly missed
And now Dennis Waterman...gone too soon
RIP George, thanks for the memories, let the angels be your minder now
Cultured, classy and a gent who made the art of acting look ridiculously easy.
RIP George.
Arthur Daley can rightly take his place alongside Del Boy and Basil Fawlty as icons of British sitcom
RIP Arthur Daley. I just watched the entire first series of Minder a few weeks ago. Over a dozen hours of dodgy dealing. My condolences go out to 'er indoors.
How wonderful the British way of conducting interviews compared to the modern American way.🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👍
Thanks for the upload
The great George Cole an absolute giant of an actor the like this country will not see again im afraid. RIP George
A petition to get George Cole Knighted is really needed
A wonderful actor and a gentleman. He will be missed.
Brilliant, George Cole will always be Arthur Daley. No-one else could do that part justice.
Totally agree with you Shane, George Cole, and David Jason are absolute British comedians of the highest quality.
Both sadly past now. True icons from back in the day.....
George Cole a british legend .. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
GEORGE BRILLIANT A GREAT MAN STILL WATCHING HIM . MAY HE REST IN PEACE. COTTAGE TO RENT BRILIANT

86 & 87 were my favourite years I wish I was still back there in that era

RIP George Cole a true gentleman
always liked Roy castle's Yorkshire accent, a very talented man.

Its amazing the number of actors that appeared in Minder ,it's harder to think of someone who hasn't been in an episode
Ray Winstone, Billy Connolly, Derek Jacobi , Nicky Henson, Lisa Goddard , Alfred Burke , Lionel Jeffereries , Jackie Collins , Alfred Marks , George Baker , Simon Cadell , Mike Reid , George Sewell , Rula Lenska , Jimmy Nail , Mel Smith , Gorden Kaye it just goes on and on :)
George Cole what a good egg 👍👍
He was a lovely man and actor. R.I.P. my son !

One of the Greatest British Actors of all time, about time George Cole was made a Knight. George we love you !
George Cole is a true legend and great actor, Minder was 1 of his greatest roles he made the show his own and a true what a hit it was they don't have much talent these days i think only but a few! :) and chat shows like Aspel and Co were true chat shows these days they are just cheap tat! :)
An icon and a legend. RIP George.

Albert Tatlock as if. All sorts of wrong-uns have and still do get Knighthoods. George Cole was one of a kind.
Loved Minder growing up in the 1980s, and the dodgy dealings of Arthur Daly and his underpaid minder Terry . brilliantly written and terrific character acting made this such a hit and gave the country a lift during the Thatcher years.....British comedy/ drama at it best.
Roy Castle legendy multitalented instrumentalists, Singer, Actor, comic
Legend of TV, none bigger...
My hero.
Best show ever
George Cole a true legend
I liked Roy castle such a interesting man
This is rare. Thanks.
RIP George Cole you will always be a legend
#ClassAct
Loved watching #Minder
The good old days!
Love how posh he is, great actor!
He actually came from a working class London background [the illegitimate offspring of a hotel manager and a 16 year old maid - immediately put up for adoption] and left school around 14. I seem to recall that he got elocution from his mentor Alastair Sim.
mr entertainer roy castle rip great interview from both of them
Two greats
He was at the height of his fame back then. I agree with all those who say he should be knighted. It's long overdue and he's 88 now. Maybe we should get a petition going?
George Cole and Dennis Waterman also worked together before Monday in an episode of the Sweeney.
thank u
what a gent
A legend ..RIP...
Class act
Only the voice I can recognise.
I agree. Why George has not been knighted is beyond me. If anyone deserves a knighthood it is him. Lets get a petition going.
Wow wot a great story teller, R.I.P
Great actor
He worked with Dennis in an episode of the Sweeney.
That was 25 years ago. He must he getting on now. Great actor .
Him upstairs has the best of company with him
Roy Castle! George classic too.
when's the last time you saw a class act like him interviewed on national TV?
an icon
I agree 100%
FRIGHT looks good movie to check out. It starred, along with Dennis and George, Honor Blackman and Susan George.
Sounds posh still a legend
arthur daley ! put it on the slate dave
love arthur daley ! put it on the slate dave
@mark1968 He is 87 I think and if you want to see what he is like now there's a recent interview of him, but he's practically the same! He never changes.
Kettles(watches) were the best thing to steal as they were in demand, if it was stolen they'd say it was kettle (hot). The name stuck.

97channel wasn't that bad, just a faster tempo
arthur is part of the fambo
Come on the powers that be- "Sir George Cole" - Please
Oh dear George was a bit rattled at the start wasn’t he a bit of a spoiler by Aspel.
really
Yes, really..
funnu innit, neither of the interviewees never learnt dress etiquette, sox should always be darker than the trousers
GEORGE LOOKS LIKE BRANDO
